Anybody an avid Paintballer?

I've been playing paintball for around 4 1/2 years now, and although I don't talk about it too much I felt like doing it for some reason. I'm just curious if anyone on these forums has ever played, wants to play, or is an avid player like me. If you are feel free to post your set up, how long you have been playing, and what you love about it. Its probably one of the greatest sports ever. I love the adreniline rush it gives you and just the fun of it. So who else loves it?

Wish granted.

Oh, and I wish. For some reason Sweden is sorta anti-paintball, even laser game. I guess we're a peaceful folk...

I'm quite certain everyone wears a mask or goggles of some kind.

Give it a shot! Its great fun, and BTW Tsuyu one of the oldest and best paintball teams comes from Sweden. You may have heard of them, they are called Joy Division.

PJ was wearing a mask and then he took it off and those two birds shot him. And then he went on to make crap records.

Haha, after reading this topic I actually dug through my mother's friend's son's box of old stuff that I was allowed to. He has moved out many years ago and left tons of cool stuff - and got my hands on a paintball rifle.

Let's just say my dear family was alot more colorful when we left mother's friend's house...
