    I mainly play woods ball with the occasional sceneario game. Im a broke ass player so my paint is usually Visual Impact and my gun is a Spyder MR1 with only a spring upgrade still shooting co2.

    I have been playing for a few years and love the game.
    Anyone else play?

    Stuff consists of
    11 Pods
    6+1 (6 pods plus 1 20oz tank)
    2
    2 Home Made from Duct tape and velcro
    3 Masks 2 JT cheapos and 1 V force cheapo (I highly pref this even though the foam sucks)
    Barrel plugs
    Squeegees
    Aero Twist Spyder Threads Black on Black
    Icon X (pretty solid gun can be upgraded.. needs to be upgraded to have good performance (cheap spyder basically)
    VLoader electronic gun, sucks but is fun to use
    extras/random Anti Fog spray for scuba masks, spring kits and a few other things.

    I usually play with my mates at a local place called Happy Valley. Only bad thing about Happy Valley is that there is a very macho guy who will attack you endlessly if you continue to shoot someone after they have stated hit.

    I play woodsballs and scenario
    I got a Smart Parts Ion and love it
    Im not really into Xball although I understand why people love it due to the instant action where as in woodsball its about movement and planning your attacks. There is just more strategy in woodsballs, and thats why i love it!! Not to mention if at one day we were all to be put into jungle and given real guns to fight for survival woodsball players>X ball players ;D

    paintball is a fun sport,
    not woods ball though

    you got to play x ball or speed ball.

    speedball doesnt require strategy or teamwork to the extent that woodsball does, plus a lot more can happen in woodsball.

    uhhmmm i dont think so,
    speed ball is way more intense,

    if you dont have teamwork you will get demolished out there.
    i dont really play anymore,
    and i was never that into it,
    but i used to go with my friends all the time who played for a team with sponsors and all that.

    and if woodsballs requires more teamwork/skill then why dont they show it on espn like they do with speedball.

    and why dont they have woodball at the paintball world cup?

    woodsball games last much longer than speedball games, and require a lot more space. Including them in the world cup would not be practical.

    exactly,
    speedball you have to move around smart,
    and with strategy if you move around with a teamate shooting a lane down the field to tuck someone back in there bunker then most like you will get shot out.

    As long as you wear the protective covering lent to you, it will not hurt you.
