Thats the easy part. you have two options.
1. pick it up. If it don't sting its a queen. If it stings its either a hornet like in the piccy above or a nasty african wasp. And you say ouch.
2 buy learning which is which. Queen wasps look like larger versions of normal wasps [ but not much larger]
hornets look like over sized wasps and normally travel in groups {like they need the back up}
and african wasps just fly up to you and sting ya.

Wasps are great. they are just misunderstood. After all if you had the ability to cause pain for fun wouldn't you do it
I know i bloody would

and back to airsoft after a time in wasp land.
If you had the ability[and the cash $4500 ] to own one of these wouldn't you want to play airsoft

If you want more info and to watch vids of this beast in action go here

Erm, isn't that what we do every weekend we can, anyway?

you might liz but I can't hit the broad size of a barn. Oh well I know somewhere that sells paintballs that fit that beasty above. and the best part is that full auto is legal for airsoft in this country.
mmmm 1200 rounds per minute i work that out at 20 bps.
That will scare the **** out of the punters at my site and then maybee they will stop fireing at me

How do you know so much about wasps?

 

[Tortoise-Licker]

pass its just things that i have picked up during my numerous years of doing bugger all and down the pub. I like all creepy crawleys especally spiders, bees and wasps. I even pick up bees that I find crawling on the ground and move them to the nearest flower.
Wasps rule its just a damn shame they Don't make very good pets

i used to use airsoft, went round a mates house with another few mates and just ran around shooting, but it got boring after a while, cos they were even easier to dodge than paintball, and the pain was miniscule

WoW!!!

That should be mounted on a frigging fighter plane!!!
1200 balls a minute, yes please! Cor Blimey!
Have to agree with Liz there, we do go out and cause pain for fun!!! And damn is it fun!!!
I'm afraid to say that I'm not a great fan of all things creepy and crawly although I know that they can't do me any harm they just don't look too nice. My mates got a Tarantula (is that how u spell it?) and she escaped a few weeks ago, found curled up in the dogs basket, needless to say the dog wasn't too happy!

Well, it seems to me that paintball's rivals would be the other sports which take the most people away from it that would otherwise be playing. It has to be something fairly expensive, time consuming, and that people travel for to be in the same league. Golf, gambling, and sex seem to be about the best comparisons. Yes, sex is a sport. It involves skill, athleticism (If yours doesn't involve athleticism, I hope they don't waste their time with you a second round!), time and money expenditure, often wasted effort with no results, strategy, hellacious competition, years of training and experience, and with a bit of luck, cheerleaders.

At least that's what I can come up with as to what distracts people from paintball...
