Useful advice that i can implement before tomorrow morning would be good

Wear groin protection.

Theres a link I could show which demonstrates why.

However, I would probably be banned for it.

Ragnarak · 15 Aug 2003, 23:10

i should have asked for all of this advise a few days ago

Lupin · 15 Aug 2003, 23:10

run, run fast

There's an episode which has a large paintballing section.

That's in the episode of spaced too.

Point your gun at people and pull the trigger. Saving that, faking a collapsed lung may help you avoid death at the hands of the paint-firing squad.

If you didn't live in the UK, you could be forgiven.

Don't shoot until you are close enough to get a clear shot. You only have a limited supply of ammo, and the paintballs just swerve miles from long range.

Don't fire too fast, it will make the paintballs break in the gun, and you won't be able to fire. That is, assuming you will be using one of the site designated guns which aren't very good.

When you are supposed to be attacking, don't just sit back. The chances are there will be a time limit. Go in with a group, and actually attack. If you sit there you'll lose anyway. The pain is seriously overrated.

Mind you, you probably shouldn't take my advice. I've only been around 10 times, so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

Remember: Noone likes a pussy.

I like it.

Don't be sucked into bunkers. Chances are, if you do, the opposing team will rush you. That will cause you distress. Distress means you will screw up, and end up with line of welts on your chest. (which need to be shown off to all your friends, and random strangers). :-)

aim for the head. it may cost you 30 balls to hit one, but if you hit it, it gives great satisfaction!

Ebany · 16 Aug 2003, 01:09

If you get a little bag of ammo, wear it 'sporran style' down in front. If it gets a direct hit you will be so glad it was there.

Woof · 16 Aug 2003, 08:00

1) Don't forget to bunnyhop as you run for cover.
2) If you get shot in the head, its because the enemy is using a head shot script, call them a fag from across the battlefield.
3) Chill your paintballs overnight, it will hurt more when you hit someone.

Structural Integrity · 16 Aug 2003, 10:28

oh... and don't shoot at people with real guns

Real advice -

Constantly move. Dont stop, unless your going to camp somewhere, and if you do, make sure those sneaky ****ers cant sneak up behind you.

Getting inside of a building would be a good thing.

1. It gives you a vantage point.
2. Cover from incoming paintballs.
3. The enemy has to walk thru the door to get in.
4. Almost inpenetrable unless you dont know how to shoot whoever walks thru the door.
5. Unless they have paint grenades, your safest in a building.

If you see water - hide in it.

My brother is ex-military, and he shot me 4 times in the back because i was stupid enough to think that he wouldnt lay down in thecreek with a snorkel.

Alot of other ****, but i cba to write it down.

Dead right

Make sure to get someone shoot you in practice. Then youll know how sore it is (sore, but not unbearable - you need to "bleed" yourself into the way of things though)

If you listen to Quazok, make sure to miss paintballing and go to a real war. Theres having fun, having serious fun, and being an OTT idiot.
