I'm an avid paintballer (about 3.5 years). I play at least twice a month. I mainly stick to woodsball and scenarios. The only speedball I play is with a group of pump players (these guys are good) and I use my Phantom VSC (its a stock class pump). I also have an upped A-5 and a Palmer Blazer (best mech gun there is IMO). I'm currently building a LAW for scenario use. I hope to build my next gun, a Sniper (basically an Autococker with a pump), from the ground up soon. I recently did the Free Finale scenario at Low Country Paintball in Georgia. That was a lot of fun.

Here's a pic of me at it (shooting my Blazer).

And here's some pics of the aftermath after the final battle (there were about 300 on each side in the final battle).

Paintball mini-guns are sweet I’ve never seen one in action personally but I have seen videos of ‘em. They cost o crap load of money and once you buy them you got to shell out even more money to keep ‘em runnin’.
I don’t like speed ball because I don’t “spray and pray”
Those pictures of the field are scary…600 players wow the biggest game I’ve ever played was a two on two…
Woods ball is fun, last time me and my friend played I snuck up within 10 yards of him and he never saw me I took aim and lit him up like a Christmas tree.

Hey in those pics of the field, why is there paint way up in the trees? What doorknob missed that badly? Or do you climb the trees for sniper nests?

Woodsball is my game. I get that speedball is faster but I'm more of a strategic person. I actually take more of a sharpshooter role in games. There's not much chance for that in speedball. I just enjoy knowing that for every 30 rounds you shoot at me and miss, I can put two in your face without a second thought.

That min-gun has never and will never work. There is no way to feed it.

The paint is high up in the trees because people arch their shots to get the needed range.


For the Sniper, I'm trying to buy a full Autococker and then just add a pump kit.

What do you mean "That mini-gun has and never will work. There is no way to feed it." Feeding it is simple. He already did the hard part.

Yeah it will load did you notice how the balls get to the chamber? I thought it was pretty interesting (not that complex just I wouldnt have thought of it).

So when it spins a ball just falls in. It can be done!

But there is no way a ball can drop that fast into those barrels and the ball would get smashed every time because the barrels are cycling so fast. Just dropping them in wouldn't work.

i play paintball every chance i get. ive been playing for about a year, ive got a raven gun im not going to bother uploading pics of it but heres the site where i bought it from: http://xpaintball.com/raprelpagun.html ive also got a 12 oz 2 16 oz and a 20 oz CO2 tanks

i mostly just play capture the flag in the woods behind my house but sometimes ill go to feilds and play different games with some friends

the best game of paintball ive ever played was a group of about 100-200 peaople on a 120 acher(sp?) feild and theres no rules just run and shoot and you had to call yourself out either because you give up or you run out of ammo, i lasted to the top 15 (im pretty sure i was the 12th form last out) but ran out of ammo and was completely covered in paint, it was the funnest thing ever, the entire game lasted about 14 hrs and i lasted 12 and a half hrs
