I've never been really into, or spent a lot of money on it, I have just been a couple of times at a place in a forest near where I live that runs corporate/family activities. Its very fun, good to hear Steve likes itpro-fleisch wrote:Hey i heard that steve became a paintball maniac...

well i go for 2000 to 3000 balls per training day...at a max ROF of 18 balls per second...which is very good for a stock autococker...at least its the guitar playing i suppose...which makes the trigger fast...

Hey folks,
Fire (my son) and I, came across this paintball thread.
When Fire was younger he always wanted to try paint ball so one year I decided to take him. It was about three years ago and only him and I went.
He really discovered himself. And I discovered muscles that I didn't know I had. We tried things like baseball and conventional sports but ...eh... they just didn't do it like paint ball did. So we got a membership at a local paint ball field and at one time we were going every weekend. It's a hoot.
Fire got seriously into it and started forming teams with is friends and now he's 12 years old and is a true ace.
For Christmas he got me a Spider paintball gun but now I seem to be getting all his leftover stuff. This year he went all out and now his favorite equipment he uses is a Blue Angel speed gun with a Halo hopper, using a 45 pure energy psi tank. He uses a freak barrel and smart parts clothes but his favorite thing to wear is JT2003 pants.
When we go to play we usually pack the car up with a ton of kids and head out for the day to get totally filthy dirty. We usually play capture the Flag and X-Ball. Fire has captured the flag many times, and even I have on a few rare occasion when I'm not ducking and covering.
It's really a blast and quite the exercise and it gives Fire an opportunity to get back at his Dad, bang bang!

he he, yeah, I bet. I'm acutally going paintballing in a few weeks and I haven't been for ages and I have certainly got faster at guitar since then so I'll put your theory to the test.Bono wrote:Hey Steve, I bet those hands of yours are almost as quick on the trigger as they are on the fretboardSteve Himself wrote:Hey folks,

Wow, thats kinda freaky! I quit playing guitar because it interfered with my training schedule for my paintball team, aswell as having to work and look after my 2 wonderful kids.
I sold my Ibanez Floral JEM, Marshall JCM 900 50 watt head with Celestion quad box and ADA preamp and brought an Angel IR3, 2 x Evolution 2 Hoppers and a Mac Dev air system 68ci pumping about 1800 psi.
For the last 2 years I've been playing in all the major tournaments around New Zealand and am a current member of the New Zealand Paintball Players Asscociation (NZPPA). I'm not really a big bush player, (as may be evident in my chosen Marker) Supa Air is my Forte. For those not in the know Supa Air is basically Bouncy castles or blow up shapes set up on flat terrain, like a football field, which is used as strategic covering positions. The position I usually play is left saftey. The saftey's job is to provide cover fire and to initiate set moves. When I walk onto the field I usually have a full load in my hopper and 7 150 Pods, which is just over 1200 paintballs. Under millenium rules games run for 10 minutes, (although I've seen a game end in 47 seconds!) and if i do my job right at the end of the game I'll have maybe 1 Pod left if i'm lucky!
Anyways, I've found myself wanting to play my gat again and I've acheived most of the things I've wanted to in the sport, Trophies, Medals aswell as ranking in the top 10 players in the country. So I've retired from the tournament paintball scene, although I've still got my marker for the odd occasional rec game and I still marshall games every now and again at my local field Actions Paintball (Shamless plug lol)
I'm re-applying my focus back to being a working musician and have bought myself some beaut guitar gear, but I'll save that for another Thread!
It might be interesting to note that in these last 2 years I havn't touched an Electric guitar.
