Guys guys guys !!! !!! !!!
I just played
paintball yesterday... It was UNREAL! Awesome stuff.
Anyone in Bangalore or visiting, HAS to try it... it's 10 mins from the IIM Campus on Bannerghatta Road.
You take a 'marker' which is a CO2 air gun, wear protective gear, make teams and shoot each other with paint pellets! It's toooo cool.
I went with a bunch of friends and we had a blast. It's like playing counter strike in real life! We played 2 rounds of Capture the Flag, which is to capture and retrieve your opponents flag while defending your own. Somthn called Hostage Rescue where you defend a hostage from an attacking team intent on fragging you - with a medic on both teams who can revive dead players. And the most sadistic one - Civil War - stand, shoot and advance until everyone is fragged!
The various bruises and cuts say it all and the fkn pellets hurt! Esp if you get shot point blank in the face-guard, neck or back. And there's teaming, strategy, moderate fitness and accuracy involved.
Highlights include:
Direct face shot in Civil War that blinded someone with paint.(lucky for that face guard)
Me being bunkered twice and shot in the back point blank! (Typical that...)
Various exhausted ppl hiding and sniping till the other runs out of ammo.
Hostage tripping over a stone and forcing the defending team out into the open.
Classic Roman stlye 'Tortoise' strategy that successfully defended the hostage and medic hiding in the middle healing everyone.
Two unpleasant crotch hits - one of which bounced luckily.
OMG! I'm too thrilled to say more... Anyhooo ... It's fun. Try it.
