Does anyone play paintball?

Man I used to really be into paintball when i was a teenager, i have all kinds of gear. i am thinking of playing again, but i don't know if i can chase down or outrun a teeny any more, i'm getting old, okay 27 isn't old but i'm not young anymore.

i have a spyder paint gun with a remote coil hose i attach to a twenty ounce CO2 tank. this rides in a belt that holds 400 extra rounds of paint. i have a JT mask with a fan. other odds and ends. i think i am gonna have to break it out and replace the o-rings and have at it.

I play. We just play New Years Day actually. I got 3 players in my household so its pretty easy for us to get a game going. We only play woodsball but my friend knows a guy that owns a shop and field.Our equipment is Sypder Xtra, Rodeo, an off_brand gun, I forget what kind of mask but my son has a JT. My bro and I have 4+1 harnesses and 20oz tanks.I plan on upgrading to a Tippmann A-5 with E-grip, CAR stock and remote line with a HPA tank.

haha, your a few months lder then me im sure, I just turned 27...anyways, I still play, I've been palying since I was 14. Although I dont keep up with the most up-to-date products now I still have a pretty expensive marker. At that time it was worth 1200.00...i dont know about now...might be in the 3xx.xx...haha oh well..Its not about getting the TOP gear, its about the player behind the gun.

here are some of our teams video...well actually it was just the two of us that day, we have about 9 players on our team... but you can check out more on my mifslim on youtube:

A friend of mine owns a field in PA that I have been playing at for almost 15 years. I use to play with the Philadelphia eclipse for a short stint about 7 years ago. With that said, I have not played in a few years, but still have a ton of equipment.

Havent played since my junior year of HS wen I sold my marker to my brother for the cash to take this crazy *@#!@ on a date.


Biggest mistake I ever made.

Maybe I'll get back into it some day...who knows.

i was into paintball up until last year (2007)...my buddys and i would all get together and play 2-4 times a year...then everyone started getting lazy and complaining about playing in the heat and "it cost's to much"

so i said screw it....i sold all of my paintball gear (to a soldier in iraq...it was his xmas present to himself)...and i purchased my XD with the $ (xmas present to me)

I did notice that Im getting slower at bunker'n people now..but not really because Im out of shape, its more because I screw'd up my knee and tore a ligament. Doctor said Im not suppose to do anything rough, but knowing me I cant stand sitting around the couch and wait 7 years! for it to heal...no way, so I go out and do stuff and sometimes I pop my knees and it hurts like they just amp'd my legg off but its fine...I havent pop'd my knees for 4 years now...3 more...3 more before I can start to do stuff like when i was younger....but darn! I'll be 30!!!!
