Tw1tch Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well it looks like I don't want to go paintballing. Here's hoping I can find a site running a game on the 16th May and convince my buddies that airsoft is better. Hell I think laser tag might be better, definitely cheaper. So, we got the four greens. Means to me off the top of my head £150 odd bonus. Plus hopefully a monthly bonus which can be up to about £200 if we ace everything. Plus actual wages hah. Its not significant to some of the bonuses my mates get but hey I'm just a bartender. Might even have some money left over to buy some nice airsoft kit. Can't wait until my first batch of shares matures though. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 There's only one kind of paintball that's worth doing. And that's TANK paintball! Not to be confused with other sites offering "tank paintball" where they drive you in APCs to shoot at each other on foot with paintball guns, this is actually shooting at other "tanks" with 40mm paintball guns, and how is that NOT going to be awesome?http://www.armourgeddon.co.uk/tank_battles.php#.VQhcmtXtmko I wanted to do this for my Stag, but sadly it's very expensive and you need multiples of 3 people (Driver, commander, gunner).

DeltaZero Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 GOOD LORD. It's my best mades birthday coming up, he is nuts on tanks. Perfect present I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 that does actually sound super fun! Darkchild I know, right? Okay, they're only turreted FV432s, not "real" tanks, but still.... GOOD LORD. It's my best mades birthday coming up, he is nuts on tanks. Perfect present I think. If you're okay with spending £95 per person, then yes. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Paintball is the biggest load of fail I have ever experienced. Every time I have done it I have been miserable. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Snap. Been twice. Vowed to never go again, and been the *albartroth* friend when I've said no a couple of times now. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I went once, to an army organised event in 2000, called "tactical wargaming" rather than paintball. It was more strictly run than a standard paintball match (I assume) and was quite fun. Never been since. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm 'softing on Saturday.Happy with that. I was just sorting a route on Google maps and I have to go near Woking. I thought I'd try and find the McLaren factory. All I know is that it is near Woking and it is cool. I found it instantly. Try it, look for what is obviously the coolest building anywhere near Woking and it is McLaren HQ. If only their F1 car was as fast as their factory is cool. Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Stunt does it not REALLY bug you that the middle row of tape is very slightly out of line? I apologise if I've now made it glaringly obvious! Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've not airsoft ed in getting on for 2.5 years. Some mates recently went to AI500 and I'm pretty much convinced I'm going on their next weekender. I've spent the last 2 nights fiddling with gas shotguns to fettle them to sell. This has given me the bug again I think, but all my guns need some sort of work, and no spare dinaro at the moment. Still, got the bug again Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yeah, that sounds familiar....I need both money and space to get my kit out, go through it all sell what I don't need/want, repair/service what I do want and then actually GO to a game.No idea when that will happen.

amateurstuntman Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 It's my mate's birthday. I'll be crushing with the unexpected P* from a walk-on and 4 dynatex gernades BBBBBbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzt BANG! Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Money, and more importantly time will stop me skirmishing every other weekend like I did, but a handful of weekenders a year appeal far more to me anyway. Sorely tempted to get into gbbr and dump my AEGs. Really need to buy a long gun again too! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Still, got the bug again Excellent. Nobody ever really leaves... Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I don't get out much due to training commitment on the bike. After August I intend to cut back the bike, build up the upper body and spend more time on my other hobbies like airsoft and SCUBA. Just bought some stuff for Saturday, only Zero One had all the things I wanted. Don't let me down like you have so many times before Zero-1. Please. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I need to get a few games in before the local Medieval martial arts club consumes all my money (seriously, all those swords and armour are expensive!) Waiting on my AK handguard from Germany, then the "mutant" will be complete. *Cue maniacal laughter* Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
