yup, I'm a pro now. Evey time i go to the field, there is always a b-day party happening or something like that. All the kids come up to me since most are my age (14) and start talking and practically drooling on my spyder. I let them shoot it and they get so excited it scares me. They keep calling me a pro and it kinda bothers me because they expect me to be so awesome and invincible. Sometimes their parents even say it too me too because I payed a whopping $150 for my marker excluding upgrades. They always ask why I spend so much and wonder why my parents buy stuff for me. I have to tell the parents that it's a big hobby of mine and $150 isn't alot for a marker. They can run over $1000 and the parents jaw drops to the ground. I then tell the kids that I'm not a pro and some people have been playing for 6+ years and they could probably beat me since they have more experience of the game. I'll never forget this one time when a kid comes up to me and askes what kind of marker do you have. I reply a spyder. then this kid starts telling me that i have the best gun made. I'm like heck no! have you ever heard of autocockers, bushmasters, angels, and impulses? those markers are better than mine. He's like "How can a gun with the name of angel be awesome? that is such a stupid name. They probably fall apart or something. Spyder and raptor are good because the name is good."

haha! when i was at camp i whooped butt with a pump marker and everyone was noob style so i got alot of confirmed hits and after only one day, whereever i went people would say "there is that guy that killed everyone at paintball!" it was so funny. i told this one kid that practicaly asked for my autograph that i wasnt the best paintballer and he was like "yeah right i bet you could beat anyone at paintball! my brother is good, he has a talon and it cost him like 300 dollars!"

12-21-2001, 02:41 PM
LOL, I love when they try to talk like they know everything about markers. This one kid, probably about a year ago, said that he had a tigershark from kmart that he totally upgraded. So then I asked him where is it. I wanna see it. He then replies, I left it home because it is too itimidating. I started laughing. It was so funny the way he said it. That still doesn't top the one where the kid thinks the markers name means how good it is. Talon=awesome, Angel=horrible

haha! that reminds me! my friend was asked if he wanted to trade his 700 gun for a brand new talon! the kid was like "i put a 400 dollar bolt in it, put special anodizing on it and it has ripper milling! keep in mind that talons are made of plastic, not metal
Wreckin Effx
12-22-2001, 02:56 PM
$400 bolt! HAHA, that is one of the funniest things I heard. They always talk about tricked out Brass Eagle markers. That's the only brand they know.

i remember the first time i ever played it was at a church camp (i went in a black tshirt and black shorts) and one of the councilors had a spyder and he said that he'd shoot anyone who did something wrong (after saying that he shoots a tree up at what seemed like a million paintballs per second), and during the game, some kid said he had a pirahna and everyone was like "oh my god! that is the best gun ever marketed! i bet you could kill the councilor in a game of paintball!"
gasp
i was stoopid

This happened about 2 weeks ago. I went to my friends party for paintball. I was the only experienced one at the party. Well anyway, They were going insane when they saw my spyder. They said things like I could take out anyone at the field. My friend is like"Are you going to use nitrogen. Please don't hit me with nitrogen! It hurts more. The PSI is higher." I started laughing. I thought he was going to cry.

My friend (who is without a doubt a compulsive liar) talked about how good his spyder was. He had no idea what he was talking about as far as paintball went. His "nitrus" (he refused to call it compressed or high pressure air or nitro) would shoot at above 450 fps and could break your skin. It had tons of upgrades on it. So, when I finally saw the gun (his parents locked it in their gun shed because he paintballed his dad's car) I was underamazed, to say the least. It was a Spyder Compact with a 9 oz CO2, stock. Compulsive liar? Yes.

Hahaha....n00bs are fun to make fun of. Me and my friend were discussing uprades n stuff we wanna get. This one kid overheard us my friend said "Yeah, i wanna get the flatline for my tippman..." And this kid goes "WOW!! You have a tippman?? They are like the best gun ever!! How much did it cost??" My frined replied "Around 120$" And the kid said "Oh my god! That must be the best around! I got mine for 15$" (he had a blade.) "It's really good, we should play sometime, id probably win too. Your fancy gun wont stand a chance. I have it tricked with a 45 round carrier and nitroogeen (thats how he said it) tubes. What do you have?"
My friend said "200 round hopper and 12 0z co2" ANd the kid said " You still have co2? You must be a beginner still." We egged him on for a while and he left with a huge grin on his face.

Big talking newbies make all the money you spent on your gun worth it. One time I heard this kid with a sheridan talking big around a bunch of newbies so i grabbed my friends rental prolite and went to listen. The kid said "I have a nine ounce CO2 so i can outshoot you all" so i said "but the rentals have 20 ounce tanks" then the kid says "but mine is more gas efficient because it has a bolt". I walked away and came back with my cocker when he was on the firing range trying to get his gun above 150 fps while I shot a target really fast. He then acused me of "having one of those damn automatic electronic illegal guns" and he called the ref over, he (the ref) just started laughing.

Yo custom 98's are the bomb for the price. put about 200 dollars worth of upgrades on it after a 2 year span you got yourself a tourney gun. 12v Rev, Response Trigger, Drop Forward, New Reg, and nitro you'll f u c k i n g kick a s s.

I can anodize plastic. Yeah, I really can. It is a really complex process that costs the exact ammount of a permanent marker. lol, anodizing and milling a talon. I love talking to the kids at my school. "My gun shoots so much harder than your gun" I love my stingray 2, I'm thinking of getting an electronic upgrade" etc. Half of them have never heard of a timmy, or impy, etc. I love talking to the really stupid ones who actually were stupid enough to pay 300,000 pesos (equivalent of $130) for a tigershark. "My Tigershark can beat your Cocker anyday. I can fire at 13bps. I have also bought nitous ,you get all kinds of interpretations of Nitrogen, HPA, or compressed air, sometimes from the same person, which is really funny, i.e. "I have nitrous" two hours later from the same kid, "I have a Liquid Air tank on my tigershark" the liquid air tank has to be my favorite.

01-25-2002, 03:48 AM
Hey, I'm a newb (6 months, I was hooked the first time I picked up a marker), but I'm one of the newb's that shut up, pay attention, and learn about the sport. I'm not one of those stuck up brats, but I do know one. No doubt that he owned a marker longer then me, but he thinks it's fun to shoot at people that DON'T have masks on. And he does this right in front of his house. I'd love more then anything to see him arrested. It's those idiots that give paintball a bad name. PS, he's known about PB longer then me, but he's more of a newb then me. he thinks that a Tippmann is "the best."
Micewheelz72
01-26-2002, 07:42 AM
When me and the group of guys I play with were newbies, we didnt brag or anything, we just played and only talked about stuff to ourselves. We were the only paintballing kids at the time so to other 12 and 13 year olds who wanted to play, we were "legends". They came to us for question, and we didnt make stuff up or BS them....well, except that one time...hehehe... we told a kid that the talon was the best marker money could buy and he got 3... I guess the moral of this thread is if your a newbie, be a smart one.

There is this one kid in my class that is just "awsome".He talks big about everything.Just an exampe here.There was this one time he came to me and said "Hey,I got a date with this one chick and she's hot!!" I go "Really who is she?" And he told me about this one skank that moved away from here n Kindergarden and that he had been friends with her since than.I was like ok and went along my business.When I got home talked to this girl and she's like "Who?? is that?".Anyway he said to my friend who has an outlaw bunkerball field that he was getting a Talon.We were like ok another newbie to shoot at and invited him over.He said (at the time we all had Tippmanns) that "Tippys suck a donkey **** and Brass Eagle rocks and I will kick your *** this weekend cause I'm awsome!"That weekend he tried to snipe with his Talon over 60 yards away at the other team he couldn't see,while screaming "I see them".Than when he wasn't screaming that or tryin to snipe he would hide behind a bunker not moving or insisted that he not be left here alone."I think I'm hit" really loud and than "No I'm not my bad" 3 secs later "I'm hit I think can you guys check?":eyes: After that day(I had 21 elims and since I was on the newbie team I was the only one winning it for us and we still won the day with 6-5 games) was over he came up to me while I was cleaning my Tippy and said "You suck at paintball I did way better than you." "Oh really,did I mistatakenly blink and see you actaully hit 26 + and while doing it moved from bunker to bunker actaully shooting at people you could see screaming I'm not hit to us,your other team members,so we can realax easy knowing your still in?".He shut up and walked home.LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Those stories are hilarious. At my field, when my buds and i showed up there was a birthday party and it was pretty hectic(didn't help that the worker had a hang over). He saw that we had our own stuff, so we went to the staging are. When we got inside of the field (indor), the guy asks us if we have chronoed yet. They recognize us and we say ' haven't changed it' The field fps was 230 and my stock spyder was at 305 ;) Anyway, after the first game, we go out and half the little kids are crying about their near death experience and their moms are telling them what vailant warrior they are. It was hillarios. Then in walks like 20 more people. one is playing and the rest watching. We start the next game and me and one bud is left with 1 noob left then all of a sudden, we here screaming in korean (or something) We look and this grandma is busting a gut screaming to her grandson where we were. I was hilarious. I looked over perplexed and she pounds and the glass and starts scream ing at me. She is waving and pounding and stomping. I go to get the kid while my friend is watching the hut and the grandma goes bananas. My friend got him and me; but the grandma was totally flipped.
After the game, she grabbed her grandson, gave us a glare that still has me shaking and says somethings to us and leaves. We thought she might come back and beat the crap out of us. We went into the game room and hid.

My friend for some unknown reason wasted 300$ on a BE rainmaker. He thinks its awesome and he claims he can go up to 14BPS, while my rebel can outshoot it easily. He wants to ge a board for it (another 100$ down the tube) and he said it would be just like an angel.... LMAO! he also wants to throw away another 120$ on an 18" boomstick simply so he can "poke things" his exact words....man oh man

LOL about that grandma thing! That is hillarious!
When i was a noob i didnt try going on talking about stuff i didnt know about. I got on this damn website (and others) and learned from the posts and reviews. I talked to people at fields, i didnt just go up and start bragging about my (old) stingray! I knew it sucked! Lol, after i bought my stingray (i didnt have much money, i just wanted something to play with) i went up to this kid who i knew had a talon. I say: Hey i just got my new stingray 2! He says no way! Really! Jeez, your lucky! I said: Yeah i know, its semi automatic!!! i was laughing inside so hard. My experienced friend was standing next to us and he started cracking up.
But now whenever i go on church paintball campouts or anything, everyone avoids me because i have an autococker and my guns shinyer than theirs. Good god. There like "whoah, im staying away from you!" Just play the game!

01-29-2002, 06:36 PM
Why is it that it seems everyone has met someone who actually plays paintball that has a talon? I have never seen one outside of wal-mart! I guess it's cause our local pro shop owner sells stuff to cheap. dirt cheap. I mean, wholesale cheap. Most of the noobs around here have tippy's or spyders. but the truth is EVERYONE at our field has a cocker (about 38 out of 50) my bro loves my cocker, but says he wants an RT mag cause not everyone has them... Oh well... Have any of you ever observed noob behavior in a big pro shop.. I mean, one that's in a place like a mall? They start talkin big about their new stingrays and their moms get "disgusted" by the prices of paintball equipment? One person didn't even no what a sticker that said "NO WIPING" meant. And another got mad at the guy in the shop because the marballizer paint they had there cost more than the paint at wal-mart. And have you ever noticed how every time a 10 year old noob gets hit he starts yellin at the ref that his "ballocity" (pretty dumb) was too high. I quit going to the big fields in my area because of having too many non-regulars to separate them from the regulars. Now I go to the non insured field in dayton (at least I don't think it is, they don't make you sign a wavier) that is just more fun because it's cheaper, and the noobs are noobs for long, seeing as we whip em' into shape pretty fast.

I remember after I got my first jersey, I wore it to the field. Some little kid walked up to me, all starry eyed, and asks, "Are you a pro paintballer?" I said no, that I just bought the jersey to wear when I play cause I didn't want to get my other clothes dirty. This kid looked like he was about to start crying ... Noobs, you gotta love them.

Heres another one. I was talking to this kid, about e-mags for a while. About 5 min. into the convo, i realize something is up. I asked "what gun do you have?" he says a tricked out compact, nitro, 16 in barrel (he bragged about its length, that was a dead givaway) etc. Then he says "I cant wait to get my e-mag on it!" I was like "what?" he goes: You know, an e-mag! A little trigger you put on a spyder that makes it full auto." I said "Thats a boo-yah not an e-mag!" I was laughing so hard. Then he says "Oh yeah, your right, its not called an e-mag, its called an e-marker." HAHAHAHA!
Now whenever i see him i say "So when are you getting youre e-marker on your marker?" He always replies "soon". I tried to tell him its called a boo-yah trigger frame but he always refuses, claming i know nothing about the sport. Hey, at least hes good for an accasional laugh.
MikedaPber
02-08-2002, 07:41 PM
of course he could be looking at a hyperframe or Mako trigger thinking its called an e-marker. Maybe he wasnt reffering to a boo-yah. But still.... an e-marker on a marker.... :D

First the most hilarious thing in this thread,has to be the grandma story.GJ for posting that,I still laugh at it.But anyway I had a BIG noob expereince today in study hall.I was letting my friends and pb buds looking at last months APG,when,out of the blue,another one of my other friends said "Yup,I got me a $300 pb gun"(newbies remember?).I asked "Really,what is your marker?".He began to describe a mag with a warp feed.I go "Awsome,you like your automag,and how's the warp feed?".He said"Its not an automag,whatever gun that is,it looks like this,"and he points to a PIE Black Draguun(sorry if spelled wrong) and says his gun shoots semi and began to make a shooting noise.I laughed and asked if it was electro."No it doesn't run off batertteries."<that's how he said it lol(He said later he remembered it was a Blade).I was choking madly laughing when another of my friends speaks up,"That's the gun I ordered!"and points to the Black Draguun picture."That's my Traccer!".I wasn't paying attention since I was madly laughing and go "Cool,which Traccer?" "Traccers only come full auto,you reject.God you know nothing of paintball."(read my post above a bit the dude that said these sentences is the dude I posted about).At this point I'm all red from laughing so hard.Than another dude listening (surprisingly knew somthing about paintball)said he had a Spyder Shutter.I was like finally somone that speaks my language.He said his brother played paintball also."Yeah his first gun was an Angel".I was like somone is full of beans and he begun to tell me how his brother saved up for it and his brother is 12!From what he described I get more money a month from my afterschool job than what he gets doings chores and allowance ( his brother) and did the math ,and there was no way he could've raised enough to get it in 2 years.Than (I do not think this and don't associate me with saying I hate Spyders and Tippmanns) my pb buddy (another noob compared to me) said "Spyders suck!!".I go "You've never even shot one or much less looked at one up close.They look alot better than your Tippmann (in my opionion,that's right I don't think its a fact) and perform allmost the same." "You don't know anything about paintball!***ippmann's look like real military guns and Spyders don't cause they suck!".I will not ever mention paintball to these newbies ever again,much less play with them.Gosh I'm laughing so hard now I can't type.Sorry for any spelling mistakes (spell check not working over here at this moment) and sorry for so long.

I know this one guy that said, "I have a SWEET Talon! It runs off air cartriges and I don't have to pump it to get air in it!!" I laughed and showed him a picture of my cocker (I always have one handy in my notebook just in case some loser thinks it's a crappy gun) and he said, "That's stupid. paintball guns don't have big round metal things and big blue things on them! This is probably some stupid toy!" I laughed even more and then showed it to my other friend who thinks he can beat me (even though he's afraid to go to my field with me) who at least knows what a REAL marker looks like and said "WHAT THE F***! DO YOU PLAY PRO OR SOMETHIN???" And then told the illiterate dude it really was a paintball marker.
This isn't really funny, but there's this little dude that is only 5 years old that has played at our field before. We don't sign any waviers or anything, so the owner said he could play if he really wanted to. Every game we let him pick his bunker and be there at break. At first we went easy on him, but ven though he was using a maverick, he used his pallet-style bunker perfectly- found him a hole to look out, and found him a hole to shoot through. I made a mad dash for the flag pull and HE got me out on the run! He got me again on the big speedball, or arena ball field while HE was running to a different bunker. But seriously, this little guy is only 5 years old athe time he's nd now, all of us being teenagers and all, are afraid that by old enough to be in tourneys, he's gonna wipe the floor with us.

What I thought was cute one time was when me and my friends went paintballing. They were all using my guns except one who owned his. So I walk in with my cocker and my friend walks in with a tribal and there are oooohs and aws but then my friend who owns his own gun then comes in with a raptor and all of the sudden all the kids think it is the best gun in the world. I thought it was cute and then my team wooped. It was a good day.
One of my favorite lines ever while at a paintball staging area was this guy with an automag looking around at all the players reallizing there were alot of newbies he turns to me and my friends and then says "target rich environment" we then busted out laughing because it was so funny at the time.
I actually have a lot of love for new players and newbies and wish to help them get better and further advocate our sport to the masses.

We've all been there, I know I am. Hell, i'll admit i'm a cocker retard. I'm learnin, thats what counts.
Might wanna think about it before ya start bashin the newb's who are just as likely to walk on to the field with what, in your opinion, is crap and rip you a new one. I still do that with my stingray just t drive the 14 y/o angel owners up the wall.
Dont play much rec anymore but occasionally.
I dunno, guess i'm just not into newbie bashing. Reminds me of a few peckerhead pro players i've met.

Also the noobs dont need to become more mature, people need to become more mature. Most newbies arn't that old. I do think it is funny seeing 14 year olds with angels or even 9 year olds! They got the gun because of all the hype when they really arn't that great. So they spray and stuff. But hey what do you expect when I first heard about angels I thought they were the best gun aswell.

Zap ZXS-600e, Stock 2001 Cocker, 2Rebels on the way, planning to save to buy IR3 Angel.
I love newbies who have no Idea what they are talking about, good laughs. I also like to educate newbies on the sport of paintball so they are not talking out of their *****.

Im a noob myself....but im learning quick. For instance, yesterday iwas playing at the local field and in walks a 14 year old rich kid. You can tell by the 2k1 autococker with as many upgrades as Michael Jackson has implants. he starts ragging my friend (who had rented a tippy) and then heads out for the field.
The Game
Ref: 3! 2! 1! GO!
I head for a bunker, giving myself cover fire.
Then i hear, "FUK! GODDAM POS! out."
I had longballed the kid without looking. He walked off trying to wipe off a pink splotch from his goggles. :laugh: After that he left us alone...

whoops, forgot the moral. (as usual)
The gun doesnt play the game, the player does. No matter what kind of tricked out gun you have, a $20 gun can take you out. (My piranha sts g3 in this case)

GoodJob,but are you reffering that everybody with a better or more expensive marker you can take out?I'd like to see you take on an Angel if that's the case and I agree with you on that the marker doesn't play the player does.Sorry I hate hot headed newbs(if you read my other posts in this thread you'll know why).

Im not saying i can take anyone out, i got lucky. What im saying is that someone walking on with a $500-$1800 gun can still get shot down by a noob. Id just like people to realize that cheap guns can be just as good as a electronic autococker (I think Dye makes these, cant remember).

These stories are just funny. Heres one of mine:
A group of us went to the field and almost all of us were using rentals. We played a few rounds to get warmed up and then we thought we would join up with other teams for a big game. There was a group of 12 y/o and we asked if they wanted to play. They said sure but they had to keep their group of 10 vs our group of 6. We tried to even the teams but they wouldn't. So we said the h*ll with it lets play. So we went onto the field and played. We quickly got a few out and moved up. A few more were out, but the guys who were out still stayed on the field, even though we would let them leave the field. So we just shot, but they yelled at us for doing it. After a short time we beat them. The whole time we played with them they were C*cky.
The funny thing was one of the players had a 4 pod pack with NO paint in the pods, and still wore it when he played:confused:. It was huge on him too.(note- he didn't run a remote either, so the pack was pointless) Also the same player came up to our group and said he got one of us. He pointed at a YELLOW hit on our player (from our prevous games) and said he was the only one shooting GREEN paint:eyes:. Don't know if he was color blinded or what:confused: . But after the game they started to shut up.

Did that player have a ZAP ZXS-600e (silver and black kind of blocky looking, real proud of it) without a revvy and a Mask that looks like it had fangs on it? also was the pack camo? Did the player have a Black plastic suitcase that he carried everything in?

no paintsmoke.. the cheapguns are not as good as the good guns.. the poeple using them may be as good as the people using good guns though.. but a better gun does improve your overall game. im tired of hearing all these stories like blah blah got this guy with an angel out with a talon!!! woopdeedoo havent you forgot all the times you were takin out with an expensive marker?
Paintsmoke
02-21-2002, 03:01 PM
you seem to have taken me wrong.
I meant, markers do the same thing. One can shoot faster, farther and harder, but when it gets down to it, a talon or a piranha or tippmann pointed right at someones back is just as good as a angel pointed in the same place

02-21-2002, 03:27 PM
talons just... suk.. they curve like a mofo. yes the rest of the guns would do the same thing. but if ure popping in and out of bunkers and you need to get shots off really fast it helps to have a quicker gun that doesnt bust paint so you dont have to squeegie every two seconds.

One can shoot faster, farther and harder,
Thats not correct and they're all pretty much the same its all determiined by the velocity and since all the velocities should be relativily the same then no guns can shoot farther faster and harder.

OMG this thread is Awesome.. listen up ive got a couple stories.
#1. this one time it was me,my bro, and a freind Vs 10 kids (B-day party) ok we rushed got into their base, they were just camping we smoked them soo bad, they were bleeding and stuff cuz we hit em pretty close. anyways we get out and all these parents start to yell at us "look ther're bleeding!!" i reply "yes, it's apart of the sport." they say " why did u shoot them?" i say "umm Ok, Bye now" it was Classic.
#2 this one time after playing this game i was cleaning my cocker (when i still had it) he was asking me what all the Pnes were for i started to explain the Rock, 3-way, then he inturputs me and tells me im stupid and my gun sucked. . . i laffed my *** off!

Ok. Where I live, we don't exactly care about the age rule (10 and under aren't supposed to play). One time I took my friend up to one of our local fields, and his sister came along (she's 8). Well anyway there were a bunch of little 10 yr olds that wouldn't play with me and the other regulars that had cockers and such. We tried to convince them to play in our game, so we could have more people, but they said "NO WAY!" My friend finally gave in and decided as long as he's on my team, he will play with us (he was 11) but only after Taylor (his 8 yr old sister) said she'd play. Well anyway it turned out me and a bunch of 10 yr olds against all the other regulars. basically the other guys bunkered down and hunched in hoping they wouldn't get hit. Not Taylor. I told her what to do and she did it. "BUNKER HIM!". She ran up and tapped on his bunker, and he was gone. Anyway we lost, but it just goes to show that regardless of age, size, or marker, you can still kick *****.

Has anyone else here had problems explaining to noobs what an autococker is? I showed this kid in my class a pic of mine, and told him it was a cocker, and he said, "is it automatic?" after I told him it wasn't, he said, "well, mine's semi-auto too. What kind of gun is it?" Nevertheless, I decided not to mention my gun again!

There are these kids at school who think theyre all awesome. Only thing is they know nothing about paintball, and they're hot headed, arrogant, etc. They also think that skill, tactics and speed dont matter, as long as you have an expensive gun, (yes ex*****ive. A good gun doesnt matter as long as it costs big cash) youre good. LOL. My current gun is worth 50 bucks. A kingman hammer. They all laughed because their guns are in the 80s to 90s. (Stingrays and spyders). This one kid is getting an angel as his second gun, and hes been playing for about 6 months. I was shocked that he had 1500$. And even more shocked when I found out that he hasnt heard of nitro or revvys.
Anyway, the team im on is playing them this weekend. We've been planning all week (they are good friends of mine). At the kids house, there are four bunkers. They get they 2 biggest ones for their 7 man team, and we get 2 piles of sticks for our 5 man. They also get a deer stand, not that that makes a difference. We're gonna go light on them unless they cheat...OO boy, it sucks to be them if they decide to...
If theyre not totally hopeless and open to suggestions, We'll probly show them the ropes, and how to play for real. theyre style is mor of a duel. Just switching shots and firing aimlessly. and we'll also teach them that wal mart is not 'paintball central'.

We just played the guys above this post. we beat thembad!! (no surprise) It was 3 on 8, the three won. Then Me and 2 other teammates showed up. 6 on 8. Needless to say we murdered them. Then one of the guys lost his glasses, so we couldnt play. The noobs wasted all their paint and gas, and had thier parents drive to the pball store to get more. We got bored (the 6 of us) and decided to have a 3 on 3. Im sneakin around the back near the dead zone where they are, and they started unloading on me. 5 guys, 100 paint each. every shot missed! I fire one shot in retaliation, and they start screaming at me! ok, now im pissed. so i got out, and the same thing happened again. Im walking at a normal pace and they start up again. Every shot missed. Nowtheyre whining becuz they just wasted their remaining paint and gas on me. now its my fault they unloaded on me. now im pissed again. theyr talking trash and saying that we only beat them because we have more expensive guns. (they have all brass eagle, and one spyder) So we proposed that we trade guns, and guranteed that we would still win. that shut em up good! :D now im happy again cuz they stopped whining. then we waited around for their parents to get back, which took 2 hours and then I left. it sucked, but their stupidity provided good comic relief. There was one good person, and that was steve, the host. He is decent, and is open to suggestion, unlike the rest of them. you see, He is a moldable ball of clay, the rest of them have been sitting on the shelf too long.

Hey Thor, was the camp that you went to with the pumpers a Christian camp and in the mountains in Arrowhead? I went to one like that that this last summer. Was it called escape or somthin'? And they used blue team and green team.
Where in California do you live.
Back to the subject, I realy think it is funny when noobs think everything is an Angel. I have a Cocker and a Spyder and I have been asked with both guns if it is an Angel.
And I remember that one time this kid told me he was going to get this 18 inch barrel or some thing to impress me, I felt bad for him, trying to impress me with a huge barrel.
