Jebus I hate this, there are only 2 people out of the entire population of my city (35k people) that even remotely know what they are talking about, they are cool. On the other hand there are the people who say they know a lot about the game, walk around with pball magazines, and talk about how they are gonna sit in the back and "snipe" with the 21" barrels they are gonna buy :rolleyes: When I ask this group what they are gonna do on a speedball/hyperball field, after explaining what that was, they think that running around with 3 foot long gun should be a piece of cake :eyes:

I was talkin to someone about playin that saturday, he was like "Yeah, man; I just got me a big ol' 20oz tank, did you hear that? 20oz!" as if I should be fuggin amazed, about his stock 98 with a 20oz tank, be mask, and be paint :rolleyes: This person's brother was talking about getting a gun, and he said he wanted a VL genesis, just cause he could get it with Realtree Anodizing... I told him that the connecting pins were prone to breakage, and other things are known to go wrong with them if he doesn't take care of it (he doesn't know what a bolt is, an asa adapter is, or what anything but a barrel and a sight rail is, and he knows what a sight rail is because he can put a scope on it :rolleyes: ) this is what he said after that "Well... It's made by Brass Eagle" like this should totally blow my point out of the water, I stared at him blankly and just turned around. I was telling another one about the Nitro tank I am planning on getting (fiber, nitro duck or crossfire 68ci any psi for ~100$ if anyone has one) and he said "How big is it, 15oz?" (this is the same one that thought I should be amazed by his 20oz, and nothing could beat it, so logically it must be smaller) Took me a while to explain how CO2 is liquid, and measured in ounces; this is also the one that skipped through the cutscenes in MGS2 because they were "stupid" I could have clocked him right there :pissed:

Do you know anyone like this? if so, please share!

ARghhhH, as you can tell I am from Hick-town America, where there are no rich people (or in school terms preps/jocks) there are just hill-billies with polo shirts... I am just venting steam so please don't flame me!

I know alot of people like that. I know alot about paintball but I don't exactly have the best stuff:

Spyder Sonix
Reg. 200ct Hopper
New barrel
Lightning drop forward
and 20oz CO2 tank

Not the best setup but it works for me anyway my friends are RICH and they all have Angels and what not but they know NOTHING about the sport and mean for ***** sake they run their Angels on CO2!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... Idiots I always make a point to get them out as much as possible with my $220 setup :).

Theres one guy at my school who once said his uncle was running from the govt. and another time said he was the secret service top guy. He also said his uncle gave him a go-kart w/ an M16 attached to the front, but the m16 had a wider barrel, so it could shoot paintballs.... Can you ever get worse that this? BTW he was dead serious about all of that.

:eyes: :elaugh: :eyepop:

"Ive never played paintball but ill tell u get me out there with a gun and ill whup everyones *** on the field ghetto style" says the preppy boys who go to my preppy esque school. these guys think paintball is easy and all u do is shoot with no strategy. although nowadays it seems that way. i just wish theyd take up my offer to go paintballing.

Hey don't diss preps!! I am preppy and I skate and play paintball better than half of the so-called skaters. I do hate those people though. I know a kid (Jason Green) who says that he had a gun but he couldn't remeber which kind it was and that he was gonna get an angel. I asked him if he ever shot one, he said "I just shot it in my friends backyard". What a DUMB*****!! He then said he was going to a tournament and I asked him what team he played for, to which he responded "oh, it was just one where you go single". I said "O.K how'd you rank up", he said," my mom got sick and couldn't drive me". I then told him that he deserved to be slapped and stipped of any of his little pride. what a dork!

This kid at my school says he has three angels. I dont know him that well, so i said, ok...whatever. Then i asked him what size his tnak was and he said "80...80..uh..." I said "80 what? ounces CI?". He replies "Oh yeah, I have an 80 oucne co2.". Then Just messin around, i asked if he had any tuned micro compensator graduators and he says "Yeah, three on each!" I said "Ok, you dont have to lie..." He replies "im not! Youre the one whos lying!". He is the stupidest person ever. I offered to let him come play with us, and he said "No, I cant take my angels out of the house, sorry.":laugh:
