OT Anyone ever been paintballing?
Why do the guns not have bayonets?
And why does almost everything I do end in violence when it's not my fault (IMHO)? I followed the rules (apart from one) and I was thrown off the site. -- Adam |

Did softball once - with SWMBO's work colleagues. Quite a laugh. Disappointed with the grenades through. Which rule did you break? -- Tim Watts |

The one about not hitting someone with the paint gun and him needing to go to hospital for stitches. The rules are simple. If you are shot you remove your colours and walk back to base with one arm in the air. I shot someone wearing their colours and both hands on his gun. He took offence as he had already been shot (but not followed the rules) and he tried to punch me. I suspect that the paint bullet right in middle of his forehead annoyed him and that is why he attacked me. -- Adam |

You can cheat like buggery at softball - but I do not know why anyone would try to cheat at paintball - the evidence being so obvious. And, unlike softball, it's fairly hard not to "notice" a paintball strike unless it happened to hit something hard like your ammo pouch or whatever. -- Tim Watts |

TBH I don;t really think anyone was that bothered as long as the groom was suitably painted.... Jim K |

The thing to check is, if there is any common denominator to the problems you seem experience from time to time ? Andy C |

You're supposed to first dig a pit and cover it with branches and leaves for them to fall into. |
