Never been paint balling. Heard its good though you need to be fit (not me).

Wouldn't mind giving it a go as long as you don't mind an old fart coming along.

My girlfriend is coming too, if we get enough people we can get a group rate. Let's do it before summer though as I don't know how much running around I'll do in the Aussie heat without colapsing from heat stroke.

Im 35 myself so don't worry about the age thing althouggh aussie has been threatening to pop a cap into the slow ones.

 

I was thinking about early-mid September. The weather is a bit nicer then but not too hot.

 

Wouldn't mind a bush setting with a bit more of a military feel to it. I'll do a bit of research and find out whats available. If anyone has any ideas pls chime up.

I'm going to the surplus store to get fatigues and boots.

I think most places give you overalls but if you want to go all out, why not?

 

Anyone actually played paintball? I am more than willing to organise this but need some advice

Best place in Melbourne locations all run by the same company. The one Hatter, robo and capition also myself went to is located on that site in:

 

Cockatoo: rating: isnt toooo bad

 

Iv got my own personal gear such as:

 

Helmet.

Paintball Jersey.

Gloves.

Scrim.

Proper paintball ammo webbing.

Ammo magz as I like to call them wmahhaa...

I used to have all my own gear but sold it before I went travelling and need to replacew it all.

 

The overalls are usually blue and red or some other colour. I don't know about Australia but I'd like to go all out!

 

Tip, if you got a cup wear it. Getting shot in the nuts is not fun.

Nope, you get Aus camo overalls thats 1 team and the others get US dark camo woodland camo pants.

Now if you guys want I have porper Aus military grip handle gloves with good aussie camo over them, so yeah if you want 1 person can have them the day..or swap them around.

That place is exactly what I was looking for. How many people were playing when you were there?

When we went we had my dad friends mates with us and that was about 30, but just ask when ya call up when theres other groups and then we can PR there ass and stuff, sometimes u may be up against 15 maybe 10 but its still worth it.

oh by the way IF this still does go ahead, all paintball places sell a weapon called " Paintball Grenade" this place at Cockatoo sells them I THINK for $10 bucks each.

Your common reaction is OMG u pull the pin and it goes BOOM! Wrong sunshine the nades need to be able to hit something very hard for it to go boom, meaning very good for bunkers.

So they waste of money...

Yeah ill give them a bit of a call later on but might see how many people are interested first so we can talk deals.

 

As for what we shoudl be asking for: Full day package or half? Im a bit partial on the full. How many paintballs would we realistically use BTW?

 

If i see a paintball grenade I swear I will dive on it...

I like full Simply because its bloody fun! and u do all the courses!

 

Other qustion I usually use about 800-900 rounds that myself, sometimes u will get a deal Im pretty sure we would all get 200 Free paintballs to start off with then after that u pay say for instanse 20 bucks for every 100 rounds...which they come in a small bag.

 

EDIT: It says that they sell every 100 rounds per bag $22

For a good day of not counting shots 2000 is good. It depends on how quickly you die really.

 

My record for a single round was 19 dudes out of 24. Best part is I had a witness who got really into it after and told people about that round. The reason it is an even more of a mention is that I did it with a paintball gun called a Stingray. Even the field guns where petter than that POS and could our range me. I had to arc balls at people.

 

The funniest one was this dude in a tyre bunker. I was prone in the open well within range of him. All I had to shoot at was three fist size holes and every time I saw movement a ball came sailing through. There was a ref standing there watching the whole thing laughing his ass off. I don't think I even actually shot him and that he gave up. He just had no chance is especially as I was in the perfect firing position and could have shot at him all day.

 

The most ballsy was a single rush attack on a three man bunker. My friend Chuck, I mentioned him in another thread kept being all sneaky and I kept yelling out his position hoping the dudes would shoot him as he was upsetting me with the delay as I could hear other guys coming. I had no choice and rushed alone killing all three and taking the position and started shooting at the new guys coming in.

 

It was the best round ever and I doubt I could do it again so I am glad that I had a witness for it all.

 

Paintball is super fun.

Going back to the time Hatter and the rest of us went, lol I told hatter and Captin to take the right flank since we were starting at the bottom of the hill. Rob and I were teamed up and supressing fire while the rest assaulted lol anyway this was when I didnt have my personal $180 mask, anyway Robs mask and my mask were fogging up so dam bad that we couldnt see shit for sugar.

 

So I looked at him and said screw this lets just run straight at the bunker, I mean come on we couldnt see and u cant take ur masks off * obvious reasons. So Rob and I assaulted and I could JUST see Rob and he got balled at least 9 times and yet he slidd down the front of the bunker with 14 barrels aiming 2 feet from him at him lmfao! im running and I got hit on the top of my right shoulder.

 

LOL see Rob slide down arms wide open yelling out Medic! lool :lol: good times....

I was jsut thinking which package we should get.

http://www.paintballgames.com.au/paintball_frame.htm

Pro/Extreme/Terminator. Or just leave it to the individual?

It would make it much easier to organise just going with one package and letting people buy extra balls as needed *insert joke here*.

 

Also which ground did you play on Aussie? Ballan? Which ones are in the photos?

Wow, this is going to be really really fun!!!

 

I'll let the other half know so we can start setting money aside for it.

I would go with the full day package.

 

With the photos question, they do not have any that I recall of Cockatoo. But yes I do recommend we go with the FULL DAY package which is the $80 deal. Course after you run out of the 300 rounds in the package you then have to start paying for the extras:

 

Just inquire how much the extra rounds are when ya call up..

I was thinking maybe a bigger package like the 500/700 ball package. It sounds like 300 balls is just not going to be enough in any mans language And it will work out a bit cheaper in the long run.

 

I want to find a point where everyone will run out of ammo. I guess everyone will run out of ammo with only 300. Will everyone run out of ammo a 500?

 

How many did you use on the day Aussie?

It seriously depends on the invidual on the day and how his nervouse his finger is mate . Because put it this way you its up to the INDIVIDUAL he/she may want to reserve the rounds.

 

So you just gotta be wise its not all about spray and prey where I know for a fact some of you are going to be doing that

 

I only pull the trigger if I know Im able to hit the target not sitting there going bang bang bang bang every 2 sec.

 

I ended up using 600-800 rounds that ME you maye only use 500 rounds and call it a day thats U.* example*

 

Think about it, not everyone is going to want to waste there rounds lol..

I shoot at everyone, as long as I'm shooting at them they are usually not shooting back. Getting shot hurts a bit so I'd rather be the victim the least amount possible.

 

I'm going to blow through at least 1000 without a doubt.

 

It's nice to be able to say that it's a guaranteed hit but I say better safe than sorry and having them lie face down in the dirt is better than in cover shooting back.

 

It's going to be a fantastic day boys.

OK i reckon the 500 might be the go then. I'd say most will use over 400 balls and it will end up slightly cheaper for most people.

 

BTW Updated The Topic

Yo man cant be this Sunday because tooo early :cry:, some people have to get there money up and up! and you have to book it remember lol

Thanks aussie, fixed it. meant to say Early September

Mid September would be perfect, so how are we going to do the deposit thing? Should we all just send it to the feild on our own to confirm?

 

I'm excited, not played in years.
