Do you?
I went to the beach as some of you know and played first time with paintball. And man, I loved it! I managed to get shot just once :D.
So I want to start this hobby too. So I would know from someone that is in this hobby, what gun should I buy? Or how to start spending my money with?
If you can, try it. You guys will love it.

I've always wanted to play, see how I fare out in the field. But man, don't look at me for advice. I'd do the LowLight and just sit it out until someone walks in front of me. lol

When ever I play I'm the team sniper. I use an electronic Spyder Kingman MR3 or my
Tippmann A-5 I usually borrow a smaller gun from a friend for close fights.
I'd suggest getting a cheap starter gun to practice with (it really helps if you learn to play with a less accurate gun so when you get a better one you 1. appreciate it more, 2. can place shots better. I'd invest in the best mask you can afford and get a camo jumpsuit. I always suggest 1 piece jumpsuits: they are easy to clean and less crap gets in your clothes.
Also if you really get into it look into paint grenades and paint claymores those are FUN. I always set my nest with 3 claymores at the front, you set them with trip wires and watch as the other team approaches only to get blasted by nearly 100 paintballs.

I love paintball!
My friends and I play 'woodsball',up in the mountains.
Semi-auto only,40 rounds per player per game,limb hits are wounds,torso hits and or 2 wounds are a kill.
It's a blast! :)
I have an old Pro-Carbine,ex rental range-gun.But she hits where I point,and that's all I ask! :)

I played once and really enjoyed it until a kid of one of the guys broke the rule and shot me in the chin under my mask. I bled a bit and had a nice scar which healed after several months...
But the playing was a blast. If the kid hadn't ben there, it would have been perfect. (I kinda ignored him and the little bugger shot me point blank in the chin...)

Paintball Claymores? I didn't even know they existed, but I only ever played once, but that is super cool.

Looks like I'm not the only one who enjoyed the experience. Down here is a shot of the camp. It was like 20m x 30m not more than that.

I've only played once, but it is a real blast. The place I went to had a ton of different themed courses, like a wild west and world war II arena. My friends and I all had a good time, and I've really wanted to go back again. Only problem is that it is a pretty expensive hobby and I don't have the time to go very much. I'd reccomend it to anyone as a good time though.
