well, the sight is quite usefull in forests (where i play 90% of the time), since some branches can easily by taken for players at a certain distance.
yup, upgrades would be usefull to us too, but the fact is that we simply forbid upgrades. and we have a limit at 350fps (especially for the classic army aegs )

lol, you must have really bad balance
considering that the paintball collision is an inelastic collision, which it isnt, since some energy is dissipated as paint splatter and all the energy is transferred to your body, there cant be more than 5 or so joules imparted on you, most likely less, since 5 is scraping the velocity limits of what is considered a firearm also, considering the average human punch ranges from 100-150 joules, you would be sent into lower orbit if someone DID punch you =p |

I can take body shots fine enough, but anything to the head and I'm going down. Even a playful jab to the shoulder is enough to make me adjust my balance. >.>
/me blames it on taking 10 too many shots to the head. This is why I prefer to play as a sniper. Even if a paintball does hit me it's going to slow to matter at those distances. Oh, when someone does actually punch me... I go down, but I have far to much pride to stay down. =P "I get knocked down but I get up again!

It most certainly is, but more accurately it's about a guy Pissin’ the night away.

Anyway, with the head being one's center of balance it is definitely easier to tip someone the closer force is applied to it. Subsequently, less force is required too (it's possible to hold a person down using only one finger to the forehead). |

The best way to teach yourself to conserve is to go on the field with no pods. If you have only one hopper to work with over two games you'll teach yourself to conserve in short order. Likewise learn effective ranges (50% chance of a ball break on target) and don't shoot outside it. By the time you spray a target with 5 balls, he's either going to be out or behind a bunker so don't bother firing any more. If you've got to do supressive fire, keep it down to shot every few seconds; that should be all you need to keep their heads down. |

Yay I found it paintball thread!
Well guys, I am gonna play paint ball this coming Saturday but I've been told that at this particular place it'll cost me about 100 bucks for the rental of a gun, gas, paintball and mask so I am thinking I might as well get a starter's package. Obviously I'm a total noob at this so I'm wondering if you guys can recommend a good package for under 100 bucks for me. I live at Orange County California, so if there is a good shop I can visit place let me know, too. Thanks!

Paintballing is a very good experience, I have participated three times and everytime it was fun, though there was restrictions that made it slightly annoying. being hit in the wrong place is killer. I am pretty good at it, I remmember the first time when all our team just did a random gang up on one guy from our team in the last dying seconds, afterwards I felt sorry for him.
