Anyone been??

Going on Saturday and could do with some tips and hints......

 

keep your head down & put a sock down the front of your trousers.

 

Take some gloves cause it hurts like hell if you get hit on your fingers.

 

take plenty of cash and get trigger happy

 

Do a 'dead mans walk' pretend you've been hit and walk from the field without raising your hand. Once past the opposition let rip, but you need ***** a steel for this trick as the likelyhood is that everyone will spray anything that moves.

 

Just before it all starts and after you have split into 2 teams shout at the top of your voice “right lads fix bayonets!!!!!!!” that should unsettle the other team

Cheers

I also believe you can put maltesers (SP?) in the freezer then mix them in with the paint ***** – never done this but it sound fun

 

also make sure your team are dressed in full camo gear with face paint and bowie knife strapped to ur belt and say stuff like "we arent in the jungle we are the jungle" this also shall freak out the opposition

 

Me and 15 mates went Sat just gone I got through 1100 paintballs two of my mates did 1600. It’s a good laugh but it fookin hurts, got a few great bruises

 

BTW take a few marbles with you

Don't remove your eye protection for a second. A friend of mine did just for a second just to wipe sweat out of his eyes. He is now blind in one eye

 

If my experience with using them in catapults is anything to go by, freezing them is unnecessary

Put plenty of thin layers on esp arms & legs, the paintballs cause more pain in cold weather as they need a harder impact to explode, 3 thin layers cushions the impact better than 1 thick one

 

Oh yeah, one more tip, try and not get shot

 

if u get close enough, pistol whip 'em

 

Used to play a long time ago, home ground was the one in chessington.
Undefeated in about three years, played for Surrey one of the guys used to hire us a red London bus to travel in, made an interesting spectacle packed with over 40 people dressed in cammo gear.

Wear some thick layers under the overalls that they'll give you. It doesn't hurt that badly although try not to scream like a big girl if it does sting

Wear gloves and a beanie (or something that will cover your lugs). As others have said it does sting if you cop one on the ear or fingers.

There should be no head shots, but NEVER EVER remove the face masks or goggles. I've seen someone hit on the cheek and an inch higher and they would have easily lost an their site. Have fun and a laugh, but protect your eyes at all times.

run Kamikaze into the oppositions camp with several paint grenades strapped to your chest

 

Only a few hours to go now, cant wait, thanks for the tips guys

 

Total superb fun mate, been a few times.

Just run like ****, and never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.

Incoming fire has right of way.

 

Wear propper boots or something that will grip in the mud - trainers will not get you up a bank and out of a stream

If you get hit, but the ball doesn't explode and leave any paint on you...your OK - carry on, if in doubt get a marshall to check (although some lazy sods will say your dead regardless).

Don't shoot people out of your range, unless you want to intimidate them (never going to work..they'll just stay in their hidy-hole)

A moving target is a hard target

Make sure your gun is actually firing paintballs and not just air!

Somebody will have to run with the flag...it may as well be you (everybody thinks someone else will do it - wusses)

Feet are targets...a shot foot = a kill (handy with barracades that don't cover feet )

You will get wet and muddy, so don't be squeemish...get on your hands a knees and crawl through that mud bog!


Have fun

 

Don't worry about the expense of firing too many paintballs. Just have fun and count the cost later.


oh, and we want a full debrief...

 

oh and apparently maltesers work atreat if u like jail that is

 

Also handy if you get peckish out in the field...just eat straight from the hopper

 

let us know how you get on 'cos muppets are having a paintball and pish up weekend in July for my birthday

girls V boys

Just got back, off out again in a minute though, with a few bruises, but will write a full debrief when i get the chance. Had the most fun ever though!
