Paintball = Pain ball?

TAG Paintball @ Singapore Orchid Country ClubSumed, Seasons and Clement

Vicky and Me!

There are only the two of us here today...next week may have more girls...but then I won't be able to make it le...haiz... :S

The contradicting poster that I found here...but I like that...do they sell it here?! :P

We are divided into two groups to play against each other.
Group 1: Seasons, Sumed, Vicky, Clement

Group 2: Me, Bernard, Wei Jin, Darren

The person in charge of the range gave us a detailed briefing on the safety measures and the rules of the game before we head on to the battlefield. He advice us higly on wearing jeans as in case you were shot by the paintball, it's got to be quite painful. His words kinda scare Vicky who changes back to her jeans immediately after seeing the demonstration of the shooting of the paintball gun. But again, I guess that's depends on far you are from the rifle as well right? :)

We are divided into two teams to play the game against each other. There are also different ways to play the game as well. For the first three games, we were required to shoot down two targets on the opposite team, snatch a box in front on our own base and carry it back without being shot by the opponent. Once shot, we are required to drop the box and went to the so-called first aid shelter to touch the shelter before heading back to the battlefield. My team won the first round and lost to the second and the third round.

Next, since we only bought 1000 over shots for everyone to share and we don't want to replenish the gun as the shots are quite expensive (1000 shots = S$250), we continue to our final game which is called Shooting the Zombie. That means there is no targets for us to shoot now but the people from the opposite team. We are either to shoot till only the last person is left 'alive', or till we ran out of amunition. If we were being shot once, we would have to head back to the first aid shelter before continuing the game. If we were being shot again, we would be out of the game. Our game ended with Sumed and Vicky running out of amunition. And in this round I finally got shot as well at my shoulder. Well...it was not as painful as I thought it would be. Or, maybe I am lucky it could have been fired from afar...oh well...*grinz* :)

Well, after today session, I think I will still like paintball shooting. I guess it is just in my blood that I like all these shooting and aiming target stuffs since I have bee an air rifle shooter after a decade...oh manz I MISS SHOOTING!!! :P
