do you recommend a specific location?

any things i should know before going?

what should i look out for?

stories?

any cost savings or hints?

attire?
 
from my experiences from years ago:

they will give you coveralls, but you still want to wear clothing that are comfortable and are okay to get dirty. Obviously, wear a pair of runners that you can also get dirty.

paint balls at close range can hurt like a son of a gun

you will get some bruises and cuts but nothing to worry about

watch out for people to try to out-flank you so look to the sides

read Sun-Tzu's "Art of War"

make sure the safety is off. I once had mines on, but I thought it was off. I thought it was jammed so I spent my first 15 minutes just hiding.

Went there a few times before, pretty awesome.

Although the best would be an open field.

Anybody know of any open field Paint ball?
 
It's a blast if you get enough people for your own games.

Otherwise watch out for advance players with high power guns with better accuracy & more CO2 charge. Don't wear bright clothing or headwear, unless you want to be a target.

Indoor is no comparison to outdoor. There's one outside of London, ON.

Surprising the dainty girls were more vicous with the killer instinct. The swells may stay for day or two but it will go away.
 
Here's a couple of tips.

Playing indoor: (even now, it still scares me)

- keep your head down
- watch out for the angles (when you get hit, you'll know what i mean)
- keep moving (if you stay in one spot, you'll get lit up...fast)

playing outdoor: (prefered over indoor)

- wear camo
- keep your head down
- don't give away your position by being trigger happy

Thats all i can think for now. Now my trigger finger is getting itchy. Time to fire out the cocker.:D
 
Used to play in a farmer's field in Pickering. He had leased some bush/ravine area to a company for paintballing. Even played in the winter.

My best advice to you is to get a set cheap cotton track pants and a sweat shirt, use this as padding under your clothing to help absorbe the hits you'll get from getting hit by a paint ball. I went down to a Army Surplus store on Queenstreet across from the Armory and bought a set of camo including gloves and a helmet.

Then went and had fun.

If its anything like "snowballing" I dont want to know the answers to those questions. :D
 
I knew a guy who was a paintball freak, I went with him a few times. The place to go to learn more is tdotballers.com, it is a forum for GTA paintball. The serious speed-ball players in the West end go to DragonFire, near Airport road and Queen street in Brampton. Do not go to Badlands at 401 and Martin Grove, unless 12 year olds are your scene.

Speedball = small indoor field, 5 minute game, inflatable bunkers.
Woodsball = outside in the woods, longer games, heavier markers.
Scenario = inside or outside with wooden buildings and things.

Once you have played a few times, you may wish to buy a marker and mask, expect to spend $500 up to thousands.
 
Most guys will ease up on girls, only shoot from distance.

It stings only if 1 of the semi-pro guns (higher CO2 pressure) hit you from close distance.

A cotton sweat is a good idea. The places I been to would give you an cover-all & facemask. My friends play in a t-shirt & over-all.
 
for all the guys make sure you wear a jock and loose clothing as the bullets bounce of sometimes without breaking.

I would like to add that if you wear Camo, don't forget the face paint. If you don't the only thing the enemy will see (and by reflex shoot at) is your head. Head shots sting like a bitch. Camo works great outdoors I've had people walk right by me or in one case stand over me without seeing me until it was to late. I have no experience with indoor so I don't know what would work best there.

I used to go to an outdoor paintball place outside of Brooklyn (north of Whitby). http://www.rldgames.com/ There were 3 or 4 different fields available - some of the ones farther away had to take you there in the back of a deuce and half. The main building was an old barn that he converted - this where you got your equipment and paid your fees. It was a whole day thing that included a BBQ lunch.

It was funny to see the newbies that at the begining of the day would look for the easiest way to get across streams without getting wet. Towards the end of the day they would be running full speed though it not caring about getting wet.
 
I can't wait. we're looking to co-ordinate something with 20+ people , so that we won't have any pros showing up.

my buddy told me to not be a p--sy and just sit in the corner and hide, but to actually try to get people out. if all your team does that , then it's more fun. if everyone hides and cries, then it's no fun. lol..
 
I suggest a full face helmet, not googles and paint. Welts on your face don't look too good at work. My buddy prefers indoor, it is more shooting and less sneaking. It depends on what you are into. You do not need a jock if you wear loose pants.
