Your first time
- Thread starter Traize
- Start date
On a dusty field in Caracas.
I wound up in a tower with some kid who had his own rifle! (spiral ported barrel = rifling, right? ) Then my gun jammed because a paintball I'd picked up got stuck in the elbow...worth picking them up as one paintball cost something like a 100 Bolivares.

Crap only 3 years less then robbo where the hell did I go wrong why haven't I got the big guys skills?
T.B. good point about the money, I remember playing a one day tourney at Hook Wood and it costing me something like 150 quid for the day and that was back in (l989-90) when 150 quid was a fair wedge of money.
Phantom markers were something like 450 quid each I think , so it was quite expensive when compared to nowadays.
Oh what Happy Days
