discussion Paintballing

Merry Christmas everyone!
Paintballing, it's like marmite... love it or hate it! Me, I love to be able to get out there and blat a few balls of paint at whoever stands against me... as well as receiving however many rounds back at me! Lol
SWMBO treated me to my very own weapon which I'm excited to get out there and try!



Anyone else in to blatting paint at each other?

Used to do paintballing now & then a few years ago, take your mates into the woods & shoot them......

I had the chance to try it some years ago in Croatia. Too hot and too hungover though. After over 16 years in the army running around with live rounds, it wouldn't have been the same.......................Now I'm just old!!!

At least it's legal to shoot them! Lol

I thought that once you were a pongo, you'd always be a pongo?!
Never too old to run around and shoot people... again legally! Haha

All part of the game, I'm to stupid to say no... unless swmbo says we have to go somewhere then I'm stupid to tell her no! :tears-of-joy: :flushed:

You know a paintball gun is just an airbrush with a really BIG nozzle, right :thumb2:

Tried it once many years ago. Someone found out that it's much more fun if you store your 'ammo' In the freezer a couple of days! It hurts.
Got my own back though. (shot him in the butt with my air riffle a few days later).

Companies supply the paintballs these days... probably for that reason Ian and it'd a quick way to boost profits. Site we use charges £100 for 2000 balls, you can buy that from a paintball shop for over half that price!
