Paintball pointers.....have any?
 

Ok, had a paintball session once in an urban setting and did ok but on saturday, i'll be playing with a few guys (who play all the time) in this guys backyard. He has a few areas to get behind and shit like that. What i'm looking for is some advise from you guys who play all the time. Do you just "point shoot" rather than using sights? I do alot of point shooting when i'm at the range with my handguns so i should be ok in that area. What kind of protective clothing should i bring (they say they have all the shit i need) but i just want to make sure i'm not at a disadvantage.

discuss techniques and tips

Charge down the middle like Capt. Speirs

DOnt look down the sights of a paintball gun, its totally useless, just aim and shoot and do kentucky windage.

Clothing, just wear long sleeve shirt and pants. Probably like either a long sleeve t-shirt or a sweatshirt (sweatshirts dont hurt as bad lol) also a full face mask with goggles which im sure those guys have for you.

Just go out and have fun. Pretend like you are really taking fire and its just instinct, stay covered, dont stand in the open, give cover fire, move and shoot.

find your own hiding place

You want to repeatedly hop around the field, shooting randomly all the while, then drop flat to your stomach. Repeat.

Seriously, do what Milla says. He's the trained one.

...oh, and wear a cup.

Best fuckin' advise yet !!

+ 1 biatch

HAW! i never wear a cup but than again i have been yet to get hit in the jublies....but i have thought about wearing one before. Just wear loose pants inthe crotch area and you'll be ok.

Watch some videos to see how the pros do it. They rush for cover and push up whle they are shooting. I doubt you'll be able to do that though since you probably aren't gonna have a lot of balls to use? If that is the case, just rush for cover, camp, and bunny-hop your way to victory.

haha beat me to it. listen to milla, just play as if it were real. be cautious, be aware of the other teams movements along with your own and switch it up. dont let yourself become a sitting duck.

if you see an enemy running accross from you shoot a line of paintballs about 10 feet in front of him so he runs right into it. That tactic has always done me well

"find your own foxhole!"

Don't expect to be able to shoot like you can with your handgun. It's basically a Point in general direction/Spray/Pray.

You want to wear loose, soft clothes. That makes bounces = you still in. Also you'll probally want to bring like a beanie or something to cover your head. Direct shots to the noggin are never fun.

Bunny hop, camp, etc. eek:

I got hit in the neck and the back of the head, it sucks so bad, just wear a full paintball mask.

Dont stick your head up from cover. I was playing a castle defense game and i was in a tower, stuck my head up, got shot in the neck. Hurt like hell.

Also, I would suggest a small pair of gloves, nothing too fancy. I got shot in the knuckle and it kinda hurt. But thats up to you. Its a rare spot to be hit.
