Multiple muggings

LOL!
i'm having a very boring day at work(well i call it work) and comments like that are just what i need to cheer me up.you tha man TJ! peace 2 u 2
as for the topic...well assuming the back players are still in one piece get 'em to lay a large consignment of paint towards the bunkers and run like the wind! and remember to smile for the cameras! sound like a plan to me,but i ain't too experienced in the ways of the mugging yet.
guess i'm just stating the obvious here.

Double bunkering
Make a mind map of the field. (Not just that part your about to run through).
You want to know the angles the bunkers you running to have, so you can keep the "victim/s" blind to you. Also the angles that open onto your run, and what do you/team need to do to "blind" the player to your movement.
Something to consider is getting team mates to do complimentary bunkerings of players that can upset your movements. for example If your targets are on the right tape, getting your left tape team mate to do a sacrifice run while you use the distraction to do your thing.
Of course if you're TJ, you can rely on the Jedi mind tricks to enable you to bunker the opposition starting with their back players

If you are planning to mug more than 1 player it is usefull to take more than 1 paintball on to the field.
Usually its best to take 1 ball for each player on the field, and maybe 1 extra for yourself if it all goes pear shaped.

John, you've got the maths all wrong fella!
The rules of paintball state that the first ball will always bounce - hence the ole double-tap (none of this dirty bonus-balling for me, thank you very much! )
So, you take out two balls per oppo player, and five for the chrony (two to side, three over - unless the judge likes your marker and decides he'll do two to side, twenty over)
Making 19 balls for a seven man, or 15 for a five (and if you play over the pond or @ the 10-man in the UK (Nottingham Skirmish is it?) then have a whole 25 balls)
And as for the thread topic:
When bunkering any number of players:
a: under your breath while running chant "owowowowowowowowowow this is gonna hurt"
and
b: run like fcuk

Remember to aim ahead of your target because the wind resistance slows the balls down. As far as the double tap goes I make about a 10 tap on each guy.... That way they won't go for a mutual elimination.
As a back player...
...I would say "Go, go, go. Ya clear!!!" then laugh my ass off as my front player doesn't even manage to take two steps before getting lit up.
Great fun to watch and you and the rest of the team have plenty to chat about back in the staging area.

Nice comments guys, they cheered me up today
I think if you let them know that you are going to mug them, they can get ready to leave the field, say their goodbyes and pack up all of their pots they have used which are usually spread around the whole area. I am sure they will be very grateful for the advance warning and thank you when you get off the field
