Old people find it bad.

Young people want to play it.


It may not help it in the long run, but I belive we will get more players.

 

[andyrik]

the point is, theyre blamin paintballin sayin they can be used as training camps...

its basically commenting on the article published by The Times last week, on the, somewhat tenuous, grounds, that terrorists may have - at some point in their lives - played paintball...

I fail to see how paintball has anything to do with the kind of terrorist attacks we've seen so far though...

When the World Trade Centre got hit, I dont remember any irate Iraqi's with tippmans...

Joking aside, in case no one had noticed, the terrorists have been SUICIDE BOMERS, not shooters... Now I've not played that much recball, but I'm pretty sure many customer sites offer that kind of option for players...

just watched it scary ain`t it

thing is nothing racial here but the guy who owned that particular site was a muslim and he has be blamed for using his site for terror training

can`t really see any connection with terrorism here but who knows what goes on in organiseations like the taliban and so on

at the end of the day its more bad publicity for the paintball world

True, it is silly. I am a serving officer in the Army, we do use paintball for enter and eliminate drills (no not smissions, they STING!).


Good point Magic, Not many terrorists use firearms, they only really use them for hostage taking and putting people under duress.

I dont remember any irate Iraqi's with tippmans...

I don't remember seeing them with any WMDs either....

Oh my god!!! How dare they?

Oh wait, that's actually true... Or are you one of those people that consider themselves athletes? If yes, then hahaha! I get to point and laugh.

terrorism and paintball definitely go hand in hand.

I know many of the people ive come across could be classed as the "terrorist" type.
