Wow, I totally missed this post for a while!
I just went paintballin today actually, today was our blowout game at the local field. No tapelines, just forty acres to work with. It was awesome, I did alright with between 10 - 15 kills. last year it poured, today it was just damp.
Yeah, I'm feelin the upgrade bug on my gun, too. I shoot a Model 98 Custom and its such a great gun even while stock. Fires well, is cheap, is simple, and rugged.....much like a Honda....hmm...anyway. I just recently finished painting all the plastic peices on my gun so I kind of have a custom look to it now with the green and black. Next step is a flatline system, none of this 14-16 inch barrel crap that doesn't do crap for your accuracy. I'm spending all money on car and school now though, so it'll be a while.
OK, PAINTBALL STORY:
This happend a few times back, too, and I always freeze.
Today I was hunkered in a bunker, cause I was pinned down. I peek up and see one of my opponents charging toward my bunker, gun up. I dart back down and get ready to blast him, but all I hear is a dull thud and vibration...He's on the other side of my bunker. Thought process: Oh crap this is going to hurt. But he didn't know I was behing the bunker, and starts firing at my teammates who are farther back. His barrel is right next to my face. What I should've done: 1) shoot his barrel, or 2) grab his barrel and unscrew it, or just grab it and yell bang your dead. What I did: sat there and tried to make up my mind while my teamates shot him out. Oh well, I did plenty to make up for it.
