Really. Might bring my son :ninja:

Yup :) Spoke to Jazz about this a while ago as your 10yo wanted to go but even though there's no legal age here most fields only allow 13+ to play. Better than in NSW where you have to be 16!

No human shields Bard

LOL had that happen the other day.. I usually make the buck or birthday boy run the gauntlet and I was like "OK! who's the buck?!" (as they had led me to believe it was a bucks party). One guy pointed to his mate and goes "he is!" so I turn to his mate and go "who's the best man?", he points at his mate that dobbed him in.. I'm like "sweet, give me your guns, you won't need those" :)

So I line them all up and the two dudes go to run the gauntlet, just before I yell GO, I notice that the "best man" was just behind the "groom" and was edging in behind him slightly (thought it was a bit gay at the time). As I yelled GO! the "best man" grabbed the "groom" in a bearhug, lifted him off his feet and held him there in front of him while 20 people shot him repeatedly.. they both hit the deck after a few seconds so I called the cease fire.

Turns out, it wasn't a bucks party.. the dudes mate was just being an asshole :)

Good times.

Oh and I'm pretty sure I saw a dragon.

Hey Bubba, do you need a gun license to own a paintball marker in australia? Would imagine so but just to be sure...

Also, wondering what sort of marker would be a good place to start with if I were to consider buying one. I have played a bit and was thinking about playing some more, my play style isn't really reliant on spraying either. I'm more of a shoot to hit a person as opposed to spray and pray, I'll spray as cover fire when I am moving between barriers and shit, but yeah, any type of marker you'd recommend? :(

Yes you do need a firearms license (doesn't matter if you already have one, you still have to apply for a new category).

If you're coming to the SAUWA paintball day I'll show you my toys and give you some more advice but a good starting marker is a Planet Eclipse eTek.

Check out paintballshop.com

What sort of paintball are you interested in playing? Tournament training at Action is on Sundays from 10am, that would be the best place to get your hands on different markers and try them out, most people are willing to let you fingerbang their babies :)

There is a tournament on Sunday 18th at Action Paintball if anyone would like to come down and see what tournament paintball is all about. Spectators are more than welcome and the field is all enclosed so you won't need a mask.

So whats the deal...SAU v Humans????

We'll sort teams out on the day depending on numbers and firepower :D

That Etek looks hot, kind of similar design to the Angel series, love the elongated barrel :)

Might have to take some time out to come down and have a look on the 18th as I'm keen to start somewhere. Wouldn't be looking to jump straight into tournament or anything straight away but socially for a start and take it from there for sure. Will have a yarn to you about it sometime ;)

Too easy :D

Best way to get into it is to start collecting gear then come down to training, I find scrimages on the tournament field at training much more fun than social/punter play. You will also learn a lot more and probably get the bug a lot faster :merli: (it's also cheaper and less hassle being that you can just rock up and there's pretty much always someone to shoot at/with).
