Title: Going paintballing for my first time
Post by: Sithis on November 18, 2013, 10:18:45 AM

My birthday is coming up on the 22nd of November and my sister's boyfriend wants to take me paintballing. I've never been paintballing before, but I do know how to shoot a gun. What should I expect? Any tips?

Don't go CoD style. It hardly works.

Don't be a bitch don't run in the open, don't be alone, use the iron sights if whatever you have to air and press the tripper to shoot.. Don't keep near eye depending on how much the kick is... You WILL get scope eye.

Communication: Key. Camping: Can help. Cover fire: waste of PBs. know the layout: KNOW IT! Keep the balls in your hopper moving,  IE shake the gun a few times here and there. Keep the barrel up at all times and anticipate the other team jumping in-front of you. I used to play on a PB team back in HS. Was okay but rarely play it now.

After paintball try airsoft, both fun sports.  But, word to the wise, don't cry when you get hit.  LOL  Also, when you do get started, like what was said, don't run out like an idiotic potato on crack.

CoD gets you no where. Stay mobile and stay behind cover, anticipate an enemy around every corner.

Theres a difference between "COD style" and tactical rushing. They both seem the same, but one is more effective because your using your head first. Just play smart, and play to have fun, not to win.

By cod we mean dont charge and shoot like a maniac having no regard to cover. Ive seen it achieved once. But it didnt help our team in any way.

Only go CoD style. Or else you will die.
