So, for my friends brithday, me, him and 2 other friends went paintballing ALL Saturday morning . Of course, even with other people on our team, we won 1 game :Brain: out of 6 , and that was only because time was up... I also feel tempted to call it painballing... you have a ball of paint hitting you at 130mph... we had 4 capture the flag games and 2 games where one team defended the base. We won the one where we defended, and 2 seconds before time was up 4 painball guns just popped into our bunker :help: and thats was 5 people gone... Then we had to try and attack what we just defended. I felt like this guy >> :Titan:

I'm so happy for you. I believe the game you mentioned other than capture the flag is called ASSAULT.

[Sebatianos]

Never done that yet. Must try! Always wanted to!
May start using real weapons, not those paint shooters if I get to frustrated!
Enough about me,
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I once went to Laser Challenge or something like that. Where you were target pont on your chest and back and you could only get hit there by the laser that were shot from other people guns. But this was crap cause someone sat in sight of our Flag or main target thing, covering his targets so we couldnt hit him and we lost because of this.

We used paintball and Laser-rifles for my military training.

Complete with sniper-rifles, grenades, booby-traps, IR-goggles and othe neat gadgets. We even had Laser Rocket-Launchers. :Titan:

No we did it as realistic as possible.

We joined with other batalions (like medics). The area in which we played was 100 km x 100 km big. (This was paintball, by the way).

The idea was to react according to real war.

If you got shot, the paint would give you the location of the damage. A shot in the leg would slow you down, and without treatment would be severe. Every team had a judge walking with them. This judge was a top-trained medic, and would tell you how severe the damage was.

For instance. Say you got hit in the leg. Inside lays one of the biggest arteries in the human body. A bullet going through this one would kill you within seconds (without pressure), and minutes (without proper treatment).

This judge would tell you how to act. You may be told to faint, die, keep on going with extreme pain... and so on.


So when one in the team was shot, you would treat him according to his injuries. Call for support. Clear the area for enemies. And get the hell away.

If the soldier was hurt badly or killed, you had to carry him to safety, and send him back to the rear-lines. This soldier would then be out from the combat.



All teams had different missions to accomplish. And the training ended when one team succeeded.

This was the only thing we did that was fun in the army.

Next time use real weapons and we'll ALL be able to enjoy it k:

That's really cool

Man, I'm so glad I didn't have to go to the army - they converted from the conscription to professional olny three months before I'd have to go!
Our army doesn't do such things - just a lot of hole-diggings to hide land mines, crawling through mud and cleaning out toilets with teethbrushes.
