At the place i play at head and neck shots dont count.

i play at lone wolf paintball Michigan.

That's ridiculous the people there must not know how to play paintball i think you should try some place else because head shots make the game so much better.

Ya its probably the dumbest rule ever invented. The best part is hitting someone straight in the face. You should talk to the owners of the field and have them switch it.

I've never heard of that. I've heard of some games where only head shots count, but not the other way around.

96.4% percent of teens would die if Abercombie said it was "uncool" to breathe. Put this in your sig if you would be one of the 3.6% of teens who would die laughing.

yeah that's a pretyt outrageous rule. I see no reason for it at all. was it a special game rule or a general field rule?

I've heard of the exact oppisite rule, head + neck shots only count for some fun "sniper" type games.

That's amazing. I would just keep my head out the whole game and bring a towel.

That rule is absurd, I really don't know why they would do that. The only time you can get shot out is when you are running(I assume they have a marker hits don't count rule either).

I've heard of this rule but it is mostly at small rec ball fields full of renters or birthday groups. The reason is to discourage players from purposely shooting people in the neck or head since those shots can sting and discourage repeat business.

martix_agent

but how often do you actually aim to hit the neck? and can you imagine how hard it is to do that from across the field?

It is more a "feel good" rule than practical.

The Ginger Kid

that rule is BS (in a funny, lol way) that totally eliminates the chance to hit someone unless there body is sticking out!!!!

isnt the head the most hit area in speedball??? from what ive seen on the nppl and mxl it is, but i an prolly wrong ive seen mostly mank shots

on the other hand you could stick your head out all you wanted and it wouldnt matter thats cool

martix_agent

I suppose if your'e a real bastard you could shoot at their head till they can't see any more.
