My buddies and I used to go paintballing in the woods near us. We'd throw on layers and grab our basic guns and go have fun. We invited this guy we knew from school, and dude went to the store and bought a paintball carbine, and a Gilly suit and just sat there picking everyone off. We didn't invite him a second time

Too real...I tried getting into paintballing in HS, bought someone's entry level gun but never got a chance to play. About 10 years later, after graduating college and getting a job, a buddy of mine wanted to start playing again so I dug out my old gun, tank and helmet. We played like 3 times 1on1 or 1v2 and each time I started researching better gear. After the 3rd time I finally got a new Azodin Blitz, new electric hopper, upgraded helmet I camo painted, and a new gear box.

We played 1 times after that when he started dating a new girl and he just kinda fell off the face of the earth.

My buddies and I bought guns at Walmart, used them for the summer and returned them within the 90 days. Especially in those days, Walmart used to take everything back
