Can't Get Enough Paintball !
Paintball. Ok So I figure this will just be a random conglomeration of stories that will use a lot of paintball jargon, if you want to know what something is you can ask in the comments. First story: Not to long after I got to the field there were three guys who were just way too good to be playing with everyone else. Apparently they had a team for a number of years and played all over the US. At one point I was on their team and one guy turns to the other and says hey lets go and “incomprehensible jargon” just like we did in Boston. So anyway they made the game no fun for anyone. Jokes on them though. They had to stand around by themselves all day, because, no one at the field would play with ‘em. Hehe. Second: so we were playing a 2 on 3 in the hyperball field, my team being two. I jumped from bunker to bunker making my way up the left side of the field towards someone I knew was holding up in the back left near bunker right at their 10. So as I’m about at their 40 I decided to just bunker him (run at him) I fire a few shots and he ducks out of sight. I advance as quickly as possible firing a round every 1 – 2 seconds just to keep him hidden. As I’m running up the field I pass another opposing team member who also didn’t know I was coming. I yell oh shit and spin without stopping and unload one handed. (heavy gun with a kick, hard to do) After him I spin back 170 degrees and take out the other person. As I do that, I get taken out from across the field by their last remaining player. Awesome. Third: Playing on the airball field (blown up bunkers) 5 on 6. Again short team. As play starts I take off running right and dive into the snake. I crawl up it unhindered to their 25. At this point I’m behind or beside everyone on their team. I pop up fire 2 – 3 – 2 I take out 3 people. Still no one has any idea of what is going on. I pop back up 3 – 5, and take out two more. After that I just had to wait for one of my teammates to finish of the last guy. 5 out of 6. SWEET. And I believe the final great story of the night: I was defending the castle (that’s right they have a castle) 4 on 6. After the attack established their perimeter and the game degrades into the traditional castle stalemate, I decided I wasn’t going to wait for them to come to me. I go out back and sneak up the left side of the field. Completely flanking them I pop my head around the corner to see a full body view of a standing enemy across the field (50-70 ft). You have an amazing shot if you can see from the waist up so this was easy picking. I fire off maybe 5 shots and the guy doesn’t even realize anything is happening until one clocks him on the left side of his head. As he fades back out of the game he tells his teammate he’s to the left (technically illegal to talk after your dead but it’s just a friendly game). His teammate pops around the corner and stands in the EXACT same spot and stance as the last person. Needless to say I made short work of him. There was also a ton of run of the mill fun that was incredible also, but those were the amazing highlights. Toodles.
