Well, we've all heard the joke/paintball urban legend ofgetting shot, catching the paintball, putting it in your hopper and shooting your opponent with it.

WEll, I got shot in the chest from an angle, and I have an XL camo jacket.. I like it baggy. The paintball hit me, adn I felt it, but it didn't feel like a break, and it didn't feel like a bounce. I immediately put my empty hand down and pick up a paintball from the folds of my shirt. Dispite it being a little bit greasy (the shooter must've broken a ball), I opened up my empty hopper, and threw it in.

When I play with my rotc friends, we usually take the last game, t-shirts only, one hopper full, start at either end of the field, run to the middle and light each other up, no bunkers.

So I had one paintball in my marker. My friend was out of paint, so I charged him, and chased himout of his bunker and into the open. I got like 5 feet form him, and whack, right in the kidney. Shot him with his own paintball.

How about another story.. I got tons after today. I must say, today was THE best day I've had since boot camp last year (and I'm going again). I'm in SUCH a good mood right now. Paintball really does that to me. Remember how edgy I am/was? Paintball is my outlet. And right now, I pop in some Kottonmouth Kings, got my favorite sodas in my stomache, and I just finished a Big Montana from Arbys, adn tehre isnt' an arbys for 50 miles of where I live. Typos.

Anyways, how about the pwning? First game of the day. I kinda stayed off to the back of the ghost town, and I know how confusing it is to explain in words, so I'll make a pic. Okay see how I (yellow dot) moves out of the building and to the other side. The red behind the window didn't see me make my move. Then, I run inside the building behind them, and put 2 shots in each of the reds backs. Didn't see me comming.

But then as I was trying to get the blue dot (there wre more blues afterwards) to stop shootign me beucase I was an unarmband. I showed him.. When I said that, teh other red got interested from his hiding, and poked his head out and took a snap at me. Me, bring Solid Snake MacGyver and Rambo rolled into one ball, I flew around the corner, and took a snap at him.. Gogged.

BTW, pic #1 is CS style.

NIce, I've taken paintballs that I've been hit with in the chest too. I don't think I could tell if I got someone with it.

**Roadkill** · September 12th, 05:10 PM

Did you get to use your sl-68?

Alpha · September 12th, 05:12 PM

Yep. Didn't work out as well as I'd like it to because my hopper got crimped.. The fedneck had an actual fold in it becuase I overtightened it. If I had it so it wouldn't eb crimped, the hopper would flal off. So some games I just held the hopper and dropped 4 pballs into the feedneck, put the hopper down, took my shots, then reloaded...

**Roadkill** · September 12th, 05:24 PM

Put duct tape around the feedneck of the hopper. that would probably work, i know ive done it before

You don't think I, Macgyver, didn't think of that? The feedneck is crimped. That means there is a fold in the plastic. Paint won't feed through it.I need a new hopper, and I need to sand one to fit. If only I had a lighter...

**Roadkill** · September 12th, 06:10 PM

wow that sux. Tell me how much you sand your new hopper. im curious to see since im trying to get an sl-68 and i dont think the seller has the hopper to fit it

**Fastecho419** · September 12th, 06:26 PM

Such crudely drawn pictures. But funny nonetheless.

Alpha · September 12th, 09:01 PM

You sand it so it fits in teh feedneck. Or you could dip the hopper feedneck in boiling water, then squeeze it into the feedneck for the marker.

**n00bshooter** · October 5th, 07:57 PM
