I have thought it might be fun to do ("play" sounds funny somehow) paintball. Have any of you all done that?

When I was a kid, we used to have "wars" with our BB guns. I'm surprised nobody had an eye put out! Those little suckers stung when they hit bare skin! Never noticed if there were any resulting hematomas, though . . .


What's a hematoma? Is that like a bruise? I don't speak "Doctor."

I think watching footballs on Saturdays is gay. Honestly when people say they watched football all weekend I think air chair wanna be.

The Airsoft is different BTW its not in an arena it in the open woods, I'm looking at it as a way to get back into shape.

I wouldn't think that plastic BB's would do well outside where wind was an issue.

True shot them outdoors with pretty strong winds and it moved the pistol BB's a solid foot at ten yards, I think the pistol thing is just good indoor practice.

I watched football after hunting. Getting into shame with an airsoft gun is like getting into shape by playing a game boy.

Think of the dexterity your wrists and fingers will maintain.

When someone is shooting at you, you would tend to run pretty quickly...burn those calories!

My friends and I never really got into the whole paintball thing, we just walked around with them and shoot eachother. )*(&(*& those things hurt when they hit you in the ankle.

Leaded Chinese paint balls are the choice ammunition of serious professionals.
If you can't handle the heavy metals, stay away from the big dogs.

Not all BB''s are made biodegradable.


Handguns are usually GreenGas (PROPANE) and the better rifles are electric. BB's come in different weights. When you buy your bb's from wally world; you get nothing but .12/g - this is because their guns arnt powerful enough for a heavier weight. .20/g and .25 are most popular.

and no; a .25 bb will travel 100 feet pretty accurate
