The Age Of The Game
I'm not exactly a n00b, I played about 10 years ago, in the late '90s, but it's been a long while and the game has changed big time. I've changed too, I went from pimpley face skinny kid with a chip on his shoulder to married man in the Army... With a chip on his shoulder. I've been looking to get back into paintball so I've put in alot of research over the last 2 weeks or so - looking at markers, trying to find the best buy on my budget and soaking in general intel from a couple of forums.
I just had one question; What is the age range of the majority of paintball players now? I ask this because almost every thread I read, on almost every forum people either seem like they're only 12 years old just because of their general attitude and what they talk about ("I was at school and this other kid...") or they're complaining about rich kid's parents buying them primo gear - which tells me that they gotta be kids because a guy my age wouldn't worry about some snot nosed punk with a loaded mommy and daddy.
Don't get me wrong, I got nothin' against any kid on the field. It's better that your paintballin' than sitting aroung playing video games. Believe me, it's a terrible habbit and a worse way to spend your time. So don't think I'm a troll comin' in here and burnin' any young studs on my first post, I just don't think it would feel right if I were on a field with a buncha' guy's not even half my size!
