Quote from: Defender of Liberty on January 24, 2008, 10:46 PM NHFTBack when I first got a semiauto paintball gun, I used the spray and pray method.  Within a year I had transitioned to the wait-until-they're-close-enough-to-get-them-with-one-shot method.  It's a lot cheaper when you can play all day with 50 balls instead of going through hundreds per game.  I also got shot less when I waited until I had a clear shot.  Paintball is the most fun in dense woods with a lot of brush, fallen trees, winding streams and other varied terrain.

I played with some competitive (ie, travel around the country to tournaments) paintballers.  They were annoyed that I didn't let loose "ropes" of paint with the super-high-speed, tricked-out marker they had let me borrow.  They'd go onto the field with several hundred paintballs for each match, and this was speedball, so only a few minutes per match.  I only once ran the hopper (20 rounds, IIRC) dry, and that's because I spent the whole match toying with one guy.  I kept nailing the barricade in front of him on very steady two-second intervals.  Just when I figured he was getting comfortable and was about to pop up, I'd let loose a couple rounds completely out of sequence.  That was amusing :)

Speedball sucks!

I'd be up for it, I bought a paintball gun about 4 years ago and haven't had many opportunities to use it. I might be able to find some other people too, the more the merrier.

Bring'em on.

Ok, so a week day was a worse idea than I had originally thought. We're going to do this again Sat 6th in conjunction with other activities.

I need to get a new mask, my old one fogged up too much. After I do this, I'll be able to drive out.
There are liquids that can be used to reduce fogging in masks.  Of course, good ventilation helps a lot too.

Try using some rainx wipes (you can get them for a few dollars at autozone) It will keep your mask from fogging up

We only had two short games but they were fun. Hope to see more of you next time.
