I just saw this latest comment now, UK! I nabbed that full replica Predator mask from http://www.thehunterslair.com. An artist there by the handle “Seahunter” custom painted it for me. I attached the cold foam dreads myself, but had to order them from another user there. It was expensive and time-consuming, but well worth the effort and cost.

Cool article, I like the simple explanation of paintball being like hide and seek and tag or “it” as we used to call it in the UK..so true.

P.S That predator looks mean, I think I would have to wear a nappy if I was up against him, where is that played ?

It also cost a lot of controllers. Can’t stop people from throwing down controllers when they are last in kills and have to pass the mic!

I think Goldeneye 007 is what taught me how to play paintball so well. I used to put my handicap all the way in the negative and play 1 versus 3…and win. Fighting diminished by 15% overall amongst our group of friends, but hits against me increased by 50%.

I can agree with that. In a way I think video games do this for close knit group of friends (to this day I say that Madden or 007: Goldeneye probably relived enough angst to stop fights by 15%) but amplified several times over.

Sometimes you just have to got out and bust a cap in somebody.

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the article. Paintball is a wonderful sport, but yes, it can bring out the impatient, awesome, and unkind side in all of us! But that’s the point – it’s a release unlike any other, where you can eliminate – just like an author can in a novel – without actually doing it or committing a crime. Plus, it keeps me in shape and I’ve met a tremendous amount of great friends. Look for more articles written by me in Jungle magazine (www.jungle-magazine.com) for the Mission Masters 2009 season (www.missionmasters.com).

That’s not patience, it’s awesomeness.

Yeah great article, thanks again B.T. I think I only played paintball one time before someone was getting married and I sucked. I dont have the sort of patience required for it.

This is awesome! Having lived around several military communities in my life, Paintball is not only around, it’s done HARDCORE.

let me tell you, as nice as one wants to think they are (think very high in my case), when you find yourself up against some Marine Recon group having fun – it can get ugly!
