New Canberra Paintball

Ohhh the black and blue i can see it already.

I’ll definately See you there and to finally Spot the wog

What you need to do is make an ornage gun and just tip a whole hopper worth down the barrel. Obviously, you’ll still need the orange to plug the hole.

Evil!

There are various support weapons avaliable, however mostly are American based and not currently in country.

Yes there are mortars (artillery) which fire a ball of paint, and grenades that squirt everything in a radius with paint as well.

IMHO the best support weapon there is, is the shotgun. Picture this; 6 consecutive barrels each filled with 10 paintballs, 1 trigger.

60 paintballs heading in anybodys direction can’t be a good thing, although I presume that if you’re under cover at the time it would just be an example of money better spent.

Several targets however, patrolling along the same line of travel would have a wonderful claymore-style effect.

That is true jb, but the thought of a shoulder mounted weapon that fires a big fuck-off ball of paint kinda brings a smirk to my face.

you have guns with different rates of fire, but as you pay real money for each round a fast full auto would be a mixed blessing at best.

they do have grenades.

with no armour, anti-armour weaponry would be a little wasted no?

in paintball can you have heavy or medium paint ball weapons ? can i set up proper ambushes with support and assault elements ? what about paintball mortars or carl gustavs (oh yeah) ?

Being a Gamer doesn’t help…. I thought playing heaps of counter strike would improve my shooting skills… but nup

Yeah, got Saturday Mael but my head is still trying to overcome the excesses of the long weekend while coming to terms with a four day week – hence I am barely coherrant.

Will try, sounds like good fun and a good laugh. Will keep you posted.

First time I did paintball I was amazed at how fast your strategising and manuveouring fail when the pain of the ball impacts begin.

Thats why I prefer the laser tag.

Saturday Bulldog, you’ve got tonight and tomorrow night to woo her with a bottle of wine and rare cheeses.

To make it more appealing, what we’ve actually managed is a ragtag collection of Canberra’s IT industry, very good at Quake III, but not so good at the real thing.

Obviously we didn’t tell them that, they are under the impression that they’re going to wipe the floor with us. We have allowed our targets to hype themselves into a frantic mob of computer geeks that have just seen the preview of Lara Croft’s shorts in Tomb Raider IV.

This is going to be good. Very good…

Would pay for you Schmerica, but I don’t want to keep you from your pillow fighting and such…

Tomorrow morning bad; I’ll try but not sure what the minister of war and finance will have to say. If not I will def make it out next time given a little more notice.

Paint starts flying from 9am, my recommendation is to get there sometime after 8, introduce yourself and get all your gear on.

We won’t be waiting for you to start painting, however all welcome.

Paintballing is so much fun! Too bad, being a student, I am flat broke. Hell, i’m keen if someone is prepared to pay for me! haha

Oh I’m all over this one. Pending a random veto from the other half of course 🙁

Freshly back from WA, Thumper and I will be at the Piallago fields this Saturday. If anybody is interested in coming along for a shoot-em-up, feel more than welcome because we may fall short on numbers due to my being interstate for the last couple of weeks.

Free ads on RiotACT? Yeah!

Call me now – 1800-scammo

hehe… I did wreak havoc playing paintball about five years ago… but I was about 30kg lighter.. and there were no ex-army dudes to contend with

I’m keen for an RA shoot ’em up – anyone else? Thumper, Mael – do I even need to ask?

Actually it could be quiet good – Bonfire could test out the soft comparison between areaman’s head and the paintball. We could see if AD and Mr Evil can shoot as quick as their mouths (or typing fingers).

1,000 readers today?

I bloody hope Che at least held out for tequila.

“I suppose it’s cheaper to get it placed here rather than in the City News “

Yeah but the circulation …

I suppose it’s cheaper to get it placed here rather than in the City News

I’d say it’s more advertorial but at least it appears to be clearly marked as such.

its more an infomercial than an ad and yes the beer was tasty, mmmmm beer
and I’m sure if theres a huge influx of business from RiotACT there might even be beer for JB and the others

Unless they are offering a discount for over opinionated, internet savvy Canberrans, or the Riotact was thinking of organising a get together i reckon this article should be nuked…

the 50 dollar Pricing was only up until the Australia Day long weekend…. unless that has changed…

are people interested, i wouldn’t mind trying to get a couple of shots on JB

This sounds suspiciously like an ad.
