I am not bashing newbies at all with this, but they can be very, very funny at times.
STORY 1: It was the beginning of the day, and I was in the staging area when some kid with a rental Tippmann came up to me, and asked me to see why his gun was not shooting paint. I took a look, and he didn't have any paint in his damn hopper!
STORY 2: Me and 2 people I know were getting our guns ready for the next game when this little kid at the table next to us asked me for a wrench. I gave it to him, and we got to talking about angels. I was like "that is an angel right there."(it was my friends who was standing next to me) His eyes lit up, he told all of his friends, and they all ran over to him, asking if they could touch his angel. He was not going to say no, so they all touched it, and ran around giggling at each other saying that they touched an angel. A true story.
STORY 3: I am playing in a very fun speedball game. (NOTE: Before the day starts the refs tell everyone not to shoot them.) So I am in my bunker shooting away, when all of a sudden this kid with a rental gun comes next to me and starts playing. He asked me who are refs. I said the guys in the bright yellow jerseys. Well it came out to be that a person I knew from my field had on a bright yellow jersey on and he was on our team in front of me and the kid. So what does the kid do? He shoots him 3 times in the back. That kid probably never heard some of those words before.
STORY 4: Again, not bashing them because they are not paintball literate yet, but it makes me laugh how every newbie thinks your gun is an angel. I have my cocker out, the pnumatics are showing and everything, and I have a sticker that says "suck my cocker" on the hopper. Three kids in 10 minutes asked me if my gun was an angel. But, I admit, when I first started playing, I thought every gun was a damn angel. |
