What happens when you tell someone that you play paintball?

Personal best; 'Isn't there enough war in the world without you men and your guns?'

Well if we gave saddam, bin laden and the terrorists paintball guns, there'd be lots of bruises, but not so many deaths!

(instead of hospitals, we could have goggle pick-up zones, dont want any blindness!)

My fave:

"In the US they have people with sniper rifles that hide in the woods for three days, just to fire one shot at the enemy general."

My response:

*Slap*

Or this one (had it happen to me as I was helping out the guy that runs the site I used to train at when he had a shortage of refs for a punter day). I did the whole health and safety speach, and as I was taking the team I was responsible for, I gave them a few pointers on "tactics". There's always this middle aged dude with a big, curly moustache that steps forward and says:

"Listen lad, I've been in Her Majesty's Marine Corps for over 30 years now, so I reckon I can teach YOU a thing or two."

"Fine."

Guy is ALWAYS the first to get shot...

anyone that mocks me for playing paintball i just say

have you ever experianced a ball being shot at you at over 200 fps and taken the hit
no
your a bit of a wuss then

Oh please. Anybody that says paintball is a "tuff" sport, because it stings, should be marched out of town, covered in tar and feathers.

Have you ever experienced a 250lbs fullback bulling straight at you and not only taken the hit, but flattened his ass too? No? You're a bit of a wuss then...

For the record, that's me on top. I like going on top...

'Does it hurt?' is guranteed when you tell someone.

I used to tell people all the time, but don't quite as often now for reasons Mario already stated.

In the States however, when I tell people I get invited around to their backyard for a few games. I live in the mountains over there and all people do is eat, sleep, smoke, drink, shoot, party and...not much else Then I bring my timmy over and rip those redneck fools to pieces

I love the American way
