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.

Count me in mate. Might have to go find me some white stormtrooper armor............... :O Probably going to be bringing a few others aswel, will let you know numbers and will have them pay deposits when the time comes aswel :) DO IT!!!!!

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).

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
