Default anyone into paintball?

For my 12 year old son's birthday party, 4 of us went to splat attack in Puyallup. It was the first time I've been paintballing, and was SO much fun! We rented the gear for $35 with 500 rounds and it kept us busy for 2-3 hours. They had plenty of people to make good battles of like 8 vs 8. I got smoked, but I think I could be good with practice. It seems to be a popular sport, I could get hooked... You into it? Here's a pic and a video of me and my son in battle.

Some guys at work allways want me to go, but I know nothing about it; Except, you can use the paint ball gun clyinder to use as a nitrogen push system.

Glad ya had fun. Now go turn up the boost on your car, as a guy just posted in the n20 section that he pulled 716rwhp on a stock bottom end...

Wow that's alot of ponies with a 150 shot huh. He's got alot of people scratchin their heads. I'm keeping mine just like this for a while, it's damn near perfect and will make the power all day long.

I might take up paintball, the adrenalin rush in a battle of 5-10 minutes is a kick! But I ran the F out of energy!! My old legs got tired. hehe

I had a blast when I went gunning . Went to a place in Canby, huge outside place. Was a lot fun til I took cover behind a brush pile with a huge *** hornets nest in it . Hehehe, luckily I was pretty well covered up for the painball war so I only took a couple hits .
Some of those guys have some really hi performance weapons.



Someone should organize an event. I'll drive up from p-town. Find an outside place they're a lot of fun. capture the flag is fun

Ft. Lewis has an excellent paintball area staked out in the woods. Lots of fun there, and the prices are very reasonable.

I used to do it all the time, we'd just head out to this spot about a mile and a half down sultan basin rd and just play in the woods
