we’ve all had at least one night war, one of the only times to use lasers and mounted flash lights, but shooting at flashes of light in the woods isn’t all that fun and a waist of balls, so, I thought of setting up porch lights up on trees to light up parts of the woods during night, and mounted flash lights would do the rest, and including the two bright head lights connected to a paintball tank “vehicle” driving thought the trails. To me, that would be the all out cores. wut yha think

i think it would still be a waste of paint and no fun, because there would still be flashes of light to shoot at. why not just install nice big halogen bulbs on the trees? not in the trees, obviously, just wired to somewhere.

night games r fun, floodlights would ruin the whole concept. it's not a waste of paint when you "aim" and onlY shoot at what you know you can hit

night games=poop

it's like, there's a field in my area that has a indoor course in a old Slaughterhouse and they turn off all the lights and turn on blacklights OR they turn everything off and people only use glow-in-the-dark paint. (long run-on sentence) It can be fun, but mostly just a waste of paint because it can be hard to spot someone.

Why the heck would you use a flashlight in a night game?

me and my friends did that but we used tiki torches, they don't make to much light but enough to see, so it's not too dark that you can see where ya walkin. it worked good out in the woods so we we used them in the basement of a warehouse we play in and it was even cooler cuz you don't have to worry about steiiping on stuff as much. so if ya have a night game try tiki torches they cheap too.

well i did it in the woods once and we didn't have anything, we could barely stay on the trail, it's just the other team had a camcorder, don't ask why? and it had night vision so there was a laser like light shining on the front, that war suck'd, but! what about heat vision googles? can you get a pair cheep that would work over your mask?

 I remember when we first played at night. It was me and a friend vs. my brother and another friend and I shot my teammate right in the ass. He was a little mad and had the right to be since he told me he'd be close by. I didn't think he'd be 2 feet away from me though.

The only way to have a night game is with no lights.......if anything get the small glow sticks and tape those to the barrell. Honestly though I think if you picvk a night where the moon is full then it would be worth it. Like mysterymeet said "only shoot up what you can hit" I think that if you add lights to it it will just take away from the game itself.

We use Coleman laterns to light up the base and then everyone has a glow stick taped to the end of their barrel. You'd be surprised how much light a propane Coleman latern can cast. We use bungee cords to hang them high up in the trees so the odds of them getting shot are reduced. Night games can be fun, especially if you have an urban area to play in.

one of the coolest things about night play with SOME lights on the field is that shadows are cast then that arent normally there, almost making it a different field. but the one thing i trully hate are refs that walk up to you during play and do random paint checks and chronos, giving away your position at night.

thats why if your gonna play a night game just get a bunch of buddies together and find a place to play where you dont have to worry about chronoing or refs

yes it does. that's why a lot of them stick a crap load of electrical tape to it. My gun is all black, so I pretty much remain hidden.

Nothing like Just going up and having a conversation with your enemys and then asking them to walk or get shot. After sharing a bunker with them for like 15 minutes, totally rewarding and impossible in the daytime.

^^^lol, that would be awesome.  I kinda did that once only the guy was on the other side of the bunker and we had no idea each other where there, until i heard him talking....  i was like "HEY!  u gonna surrender?"  and i poked my pgp around the bunker.  he was like "okay you got me...."  it was actually pretty cool....  i don't even think i had any balls in the marker.....  ahwell....

Slaughterhouse is fun. It's not as big as Battle Creek. If you have ur membership at Battle Creek, then it will work for Slaughterhouse as well. Erm...since you like speedball, the last thig I heard is that their SupAir was stolen. I'm not sure if they bought some new bunkers or got the old SupAir bunkers back.
