RkyMtnHigh 0 #1 November 14, 2005 So my region is having a meeting in December and for a "teambuilding" exercise we've chosen to play paintball. Don't get me wrong, I love paintball, and used to play it a lot in Colorado, but I feel it's an "every man for himself" game versus "teambuilding" How will I explain the random bruises..WTF..I'm game. Any strategies or suggestions for playing paintball with coworkers? _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your best bet is to run at your opponent in a zig-zag pattern. They will have a hard time figuring out how much to lead you. They will also probably be standing still while they try to hit you. You move, they stand still, you shoot the crap out of them. Tip 2: I bet they will have a LOT of armor on the front of their bodies, 3 or 4 well aimed paintballs into their calf will slow them down in the next rounds.

I like the scenario games or the team games (not the organized 4 on 4 type thing, but the all out shoot everyone and work together to win a scenario). It is sooo much fun! I have a 'crank' on my A5 that basically turns it into a Gatlin gun. I feel like I am going postal on people cuz I just shower them with paint!! I wanna play! where you playing?? TammieLet's have fun! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RkyMtnHigh 0 #8 November 15, 2005 QuoteHee hee...I like Bob's suggestion!

Most of us want to play but not all will go through with it. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites happythoughts 0 #9 November 15, 2005 If you are playing teams, of 6 or more... Run towards them. While they are still out of range, fire at them and they will dive for cover. Have a pair of your co-workers go down each side and flank them. The two in the middle waste ammo like millionaires and keep the opposing teams heads down. I always fire 6 shot bursts. The other side looks like a paint roller hit it.

From there I can help locate players from the other team and call thier locations to my other players. They can also inform me as to hazards I cannot see, as well as while the players on the other team are distracted by me, my teamates take them out. http://www.oriontpt.com/Photos/BEL-2005-a/target87.html I have the pretty blue gun Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.
