Post what type of marker you have and a pic, share a story about your best paintball experience

my marker is a tippmann a-5,21 inch barrel, ncstar red dot scope (lifetime warranty) and digi camo.

I used to be into it pretty heavily

Think laying around somewhere...

- Smart Parts Ion

- Auto Cocker (Basically custom)

- 2k1 Ground Zero Intimidator

- WGP Cocker, can't remember the model but its got the hinge and electronic 3 way

I've played for quite a while, lots of scenario games (24 - 48 hour games), did a lot of reffing but gave it up when my son was born... hard to blow 150+ on a weekend game when there is a lot more that needs that money :P

I played for years. I had an Angel LCD,Auto Cocker and I think I started off with a spyder. I played at a field in pottstown called iron-triangle. I miss playing, but I don't like playing speed ball dumping cases of paint a day and that's where things were going.

I have a new Tippman A-5 and a tippman Carbine I bought. I have the flatline barrel too.

How does the story go? Oh yeah.

"Hey, if we all go buy paintball guns we can play paintball all the time." No capture the flag, no flashy colored uniforms. Just two teams, shoot until one team is completely eliminated. Game over. Or "every man for themselves".

So I went and bought the Carbine, then added the A-5 just in case somebody else wanted to play but didn't have a gun. (I'm nice like that).

Nobody bought their guns and they've been sitting in an ammo container in the closet ever since.

I'll hang on to them just in case.

I don't have time for them anymore anyway since I devote most of my time to the real guns. But if I found some people local that just wanted to run around and blast the shit out of each other, I'd dust them off.

I need friends like you.

I almost got the chance to go paintballing once. Mom shot down the idea. One of these days, I'll find another group and give it a go.

When I was in high school, a big group of friends and I would play woodsball behind my house. We used to do that almost weekly, and it was awesome fun. I haven't played in probably six years now, but I still have my old Spyder and a NIB Autococker. I'd like to play again at some point...

I was into it pretty heavily for a while, but budget constraints have severly limited my recent participation. We have a crew of about 6-7 guys (the RH Militia) that typically play against another crew of 7-8 (Slaughter House Five). We just played last weekend - the first time in nearly a year. Full on woodsball/tactical/scenario - no speedball. We play on private land that has an old grown up field with clearings, brush, some old cars and the like. Cooked ribs and deer steak over the fire and drank a few PBRs.

I have a Tippmann A5 with flatline and rifle buttstock - covered in removable camo tape. My CO2 tanks are covered in camo shirt sleeves.

Most of the guys we play with, our crew, and the other team, rock Tippmann A5s. One guy has an X7. The other team is pretty serious, they're sponsored and whatnot and rock a lot of mil-sim gear. Our team rolls budget style.

It's a heck of a lot of fun, but it's stinking expensive and time consuming.
