We finally got out to give paintballing a try, and may have found a new hobby. We all realized we were in trouble after agreeing to play 4 against 3 with a man and his two sons, probably ages 13 and 15, and he looked at our gear, smiled like you would to a child, and asked "are those rentals?" As the game started, I heard nothing but automatic fire coming from the other end of the field, and cowered behind a log pile as Silva, Russ, and Sean exited the playing field, shot dead before they could even raise their guns. Luckily I got my gun shot, and threw up my arms to signal my own death.

On their website it says the bullets feel like someone snapping a rubberband snapping on you. They lie. It smarts pretty good, but the pain goes away the next game when you shoot your buddy and hear him yelp as a dog would when you step on their tail.
