My only experience with paintball got me expelled from high school. I had one in my car and someone ratted on me. The school considered it a pellet gun, and therefore it was a weapon. I could have had a shotgun in my car and I would have received the same punishment.

I only had my paintball gun for 1 week and my parents made me sell it to pay for the summer school classes I had to take to make up the credits. Needless to say, I got screwed.

lol you guys are funny

I play speedball and woodsball with a group of about 25

I have a spyder fenix acs 220 ct. halo hoper 2 20 oz tanks and a 68ci 4500 psi tank
Just thinking about buying another gun, looking at the angel w7's but a lil to pricey so maybe an autococker trilogy?

ight guys im off to work

http://www.pbreview.com has alot of information in their forums, if you care to sift through them. they also have reviews (hence name) on just about everything paintball, even fields. it is indeed a great website.
the best website that i have found to order stuff from is http://www.actionvillage.com - they have a lowest price garuentee thing like sounddomain, and an extremely wide selection.
and you are welcome lotas.
and sinister, they grenades dont work excatly how one would imagine. ive never used one myself, but i hear they arent very effective.
and ridr, you are right on with the 3 gas things, the nitro/HPA system is freakin expensive to upgrade to.

and and and and... dear lord i am tired!

jonnyb wrote:woodsball is, yea, played in the woods. usually you try to wear camo to blend in. woodsball is more about tactics, and strategy, and trying to sneak up on your opponent. a game we usually play is hide and seek. one team has like 5-10 minutes to hide, while the other team stays at base, and trys to find the other team. first team to elimnate the other team wins. games take anywhere from 15 minutes to 45minutes to play.
speedball is played on a much smaller area. camo isnt nessacary, cause there probably isnt very much natural coverage around. but usually has a freaking bunch of bunkers made out of whatever. they have big inflatable bunkers, or some people use cars, pieces of wood, etc. speedball games last about 5-10minutes, to maybe around 15-20. maybe longer. speedball is much more about the shooting part, you know where your opponent is. there is still alot of stratagey behind speedball, though.




speedball course woodsball course

a good website on woodsball is http://www.specialopspaintball.com

heres a link with a couple of pictures, of a paintball place near me.

also, at most speedball courses, there is a ref.
wow thanks

i've always wanted to get into paint guns, but i live in atlanta and chicago. not too many woods or courses around either one.
i've settled for a "meager" collection of .308, .45, .40, 9, and .223's (all began with a couple of air guns as a kid).
anyway, is there a site dedicated to paint guns-different types, benefits, features, and pricing?
There are a lot of sites out there on paintball. Im sure if you do a search, you will get tons of info. A pretty decent site that i found is http://www.xpaintball.com
I havent ordered anything from them, but they carry a lot of stuff.
As for different types of guns, there are basically regular old semi auto guns, and electric guns. Some are more expensive than others, like WDP angels. I guess you could say they are like the Rainbow of paintball. But any tippmann, or spyder electronic can be picked up for pretty cheap and are very effective.
there are also three different types of propellants. CO2, Compressed air/nitro, and propane. CO2 is cheap, but velocity drops off as the tank empties. Nitro is more consistent with speed even when the tank is getting empty. And propane is like an internal combustion engine, but only one gun is using that, the tippmann c-3.

Im sure you could find out a lot more by browsing any old paintball forum. Ive just been doing a lot of research and those are my findings so far.
