Stupid Paintball Tricks

   I ran a thorough search (okay, I looked around a little) and didn't see that this had been done before, so here we go.
Can anyone relate an exceptionally stupid paintball related incident they have seen or been involved in.  (Kind of like "Stupid Pet Tricks", but involving paintball.)  I'll start with my personal favorite below:
I'm at the field I play at a couple of years ago and I notice someone I didn't know (a non-regular) who seems to be having difficulty at the chrono.  I walk up and check out what he's doing and we have the following conversation (or something really close-it was a while back:
ME:  "Shake the hopper, you don't have any balls coming out."
NOOB:  "That's cause I'm saving my paint for the field dummy, I'm just chronoing in."
ME:  "You mean don't have any paint in your hopper?"
NOOB:  "Duh!  Of course not."
ME:  "Sorry, my mistake.  That chrono is kind of touchy; if you don't hold your marker perfectly level and straight it won't take a reading, so it might take you a few tries."
Then I walked off and told all my friends to watch this guy.

	Ok, I have one. I watched these 4 guys that were regs at the place I was playing messing aound at the end of the day playing some 2 on 2 and what not. Well, you know how airball bunkers deflate after a while and if you sit on them you can have someone launch you in the air(remember that one .gif?). Well, 2 of the guys had one pinned and they were just screwin around so they decided to make an air attack in which one of them sat on the bunker beside them and the other jumped on it and launched them over the taco their bud was at. The goal was to shoot him whilst flying over(well, kinda beside) him. The best part is that it worked. Very cool even if it was kinda stupid.

	A kid at my field decided to try a dead man's walk on us. I was at the front, and when the group of four were coming out along the wall I honestly didn't even look at them. The last kid in line looked surprised when he saw me behind the bunker, and out of the corner of my eye I saw him raise his gun. I turned just as he fired, and saw the ball roll out of his gun. No air. "Sorry man," I said, and gave him a shot with my pistol. I'd have felt bad about the range, but he just showed that he was perfectly willing to shoot me at that distance.
