Better wear some clothes that'll protect u, and still give u enough movement since those balls can sting you :D
so i'd say better go with 1000 since you want a long pleasure for him :)
take smg weapon in any case :D pistols suck
israel we had a strike at schools so the city gave paintball for free ^^
so we went every day :P
fought against arabs and owned them :O)
auf max. druck tut's aber weh wie sau :(
Shattering news for he 15349 members of crossfire :'(
If you want a decent day then you'll get through more than 500 paintballs. Where I go in the UK it is £6 for 100 paintballs (or slightly less if you buy in bulk) ... or £5 for 100 if you get more with the starting deal, i.e.
£9.95 for the day, 100 paintballs
£14.95 for the day, 200 paintballs
£19.95 for the day, 300 paintballs
etc. etc.
[I think those are the prices anyway]
The majority of the cost of the day is paintballs tbh. You can go and buy 500 paintballs but the chances are you will have to buy more on the day. I would guess that an 'average day' will be 700-850 paintballs - but this is only from my experience.
- paintballs hurt a bit when they hit you, and you will wince and maybe shout some words but it is fine after 10 seconds. You should have some nasty bruises after the day is finished though.
- guns they should provide.
- you can wear more clothes if you want the paintballs to hurt slightly less, but you will be running around a lot so you don't want to be restricted and sweating. Also, you will get overalls provided so your clothes don't get messy.
Hope this helps.
If the ammount of screaming was an indication: these paintballs do hurt like hell at close range :)
ps: Am I the only one who gets these RTCW flashbacks when playing paintball? I tried strafe jumping but it didnt work :/
tbh im bit afraid of the pain. aaaaaaaah. :D
This time of year can be more painful because its a lot colder and the paintballs don't always break. If they hit you and don't burst then that will bruise quite badly!
If you wear gloves you should be fine, it doesn't matter if you get hit on the torso, but a finger shot is quite painful.
100 bullets is like lol wtf no bullets in 5mins!
xD
If you don't think that you are a soldier with mg42 this is more then enough.
I shoot always 2 balls for each target and ~100 are enough for 2-3 hours...
For this more then 10.000;)
outside with short pants and a t-shirt and at the end just stand in a circle and shoot the crap out of the others and try to avoid the other balls xD
but nice idea
But ye it kinda hurts if you shoot from like few meters.
We got like 250 or 300 bullets , it was too few imo , especially when you are a beginner , then you miss alot , but paintball is rly fun :)
