Just kind of fooling around, and being serious at the same time. It was a labor-day special at my field, so I decided to drop by with some friends to play.
It was fun. I tried to manage a 1/1 ratio, and I think I beat that slightly. However, I have some observations.

When you are playing with newbs, the volume of fire is much less and more accurate.

When playing with people who play a lot and dont mind using a case a day, the volume of fire is easily 350 per person per round. Not really aimed, just spray.

When you are playing with newbs, you can easily accell ahead of the other team by MOVING UP. I dont understand why everyone is afriad, even after I prove it that you can run from here to there.

Bunkers prodive little protection. I got "gayed' atleast twice today by paint bouncing off a bunker or off the netting and hitting and breaking on me.

You have to get a ref to call a cease fire cease movement if you want to get off the field in one piece after you get hit. When playing with the high volume players, just hide behind a bunker or run the hell to the nearest out box.

You can shoot through breaks in the barrel, or, atleast my stock 98 one. Point in case. I was running to a bunker, slid and kinda tripped behind it, but I had somehow double fed during my fall and when I fired, it was just an ooze. Since the field is hardly 15x40 yards, you have zero time to clean a barrel. Plus, the enemy was advancing. I simply stuck my head out, and almost got it shot off. I just cleared the shells out of the tip of the barrel with my finger (rather stupid idea now that I look back, but I was lucky) and fired about 30 rounds. About a fourth of those broke, and the rest went haywire. After that, you couldn't tell a difference (stock 98 barrel, remember) between clean and gunked.

Unless the carpet looks wet with paint, don't slide. I saw one guy try to slide into the middle "soda can" from the left (my left) "snake" and he just kinda' seized up half way though his slide and was sitting there on his knees in the middle with no cover. He got it about 20 times. It was rather funny when the guys on my team shot him, but kept shooting the ground and boucing on him.

Dont rush too fast. Even if you tell your team, they might shoot you. I had rushed once within the first five seconds, kind of jogging with my 98 shouldered and firing at their start point. When they started shooting back, I did a slide to the right "snake" and got covere between that and the wall. Even though I was in the prone shooting towards our enemy, my team tagged me out.

Dont jump over any small obstacles. If you dont land right and the area is wet, you will fall on your face. Saw one kid do this. To my suprise, he just did a "stop drop and roll" type maneuver, as if the building was on fire, and rolled across an open part to a "soda can" without getting hit.

I saw one guy from the 10th playing with a pro carbine. He had nothing special, but I guess he had been playing for a long time, because he literlly owned the field. He could take guys with their TESs and Angels and whatever.
Just proves the point further, it's the person, not the equipment.

just delete it and put it in player stories it sucks u got a 98 not very good for speed ball but its good u had fun

My only problem I had with my 98 was the bolt becoming jammed (somehow) one round. I simply hit it and it cocked and was ready to fire again. I couldn't say the same for people who were taking apart their guns to replace batteries, and stuff like that. It gets the job done.

I used a rental tippy and every 10 shots I had to bang on the rod to get it unjammed. Felt like I was shootign an M16A1 without chrome internals underwater.

But of course the thing was beat up as hell.

A couple things.
"350 per person per round"- isn't all that much.
"People who play a lot...Not really aimed, just spray."- Not true.
"After you get hit...Playing with the high volume players, just hide behind a bunker."- Not a good idea.
"Dont rush too fast...My team tagged me out."- You didn't get your message out clear enough. Plus, newbs don't listen to you...
"TESs and Angels"- Not even close to being similar.

This isn't a flame. I'm just informing you.

AK, I like you, but don't be a woodsball fanboy. You seem to bash speedball all the time.
