so i just went paintballing for the first time and all i've gotta say is...IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

I remember back when I first played paintball, years and years ago... we were all using the field guns, Nel-Spot '007' (yes, that's the real model number) paint marking pistols... My first game, I spend half an hour sneaking around the edge of the field after the inconclusive center-field fight, shoot the two defenders of the flag with paint from a tube someone had dropped, grab the flag, and head back toward our flag, when I suddenly hear "No, Bill, he's on our--" followed by the *splat* as I was shot in the chest... by my team captain, who didn't see me holding the flag out in front of me.
