back hits

I play that all hits (gun, pack, body, mask) count. Never had a problem.

All direct hits count is easiest. Spray doesn't count, otherwise fair game.

Yup.

The ONLY thing I'd agree with is you might not feel a hit on a tank.

SO call for a ref to check him.

If you got hit, you got hit.

The most ludicrous thing about no gun hits is you can cover and area with spray and pray, but not get Out? Hell no. If you carried it onto the field and it gets hit you are out, whatever it is.

That is why playing 'no gun hits' sucks- there's too much room for sissies to argue that they aren't out because of some gray area. If I were you, the next time you play, tell them to stop acting like they learned how to play paintball from the local Brownie troop and play it right- then there's no debate about it.

If its a pickup game and there's no refs, then you need to make the rules clear, and with no wiggle room, or you'll always have some jerk wasting valuable play time debating the legitimacy of a hit based on where it was, what got hit, the color of the paint, or the time of day.

Screw 'em. All hits count. Always.

If they INSIST in playing 'no gun hits' - then every single time you shoot someone, bonus ball them 7 or 8 times, and use the excuse 'I just wanted to make sure I was hitting YOU, and not your gear." .....in fact, I think that everybody who argues for a 'no gun hit' game should be double or triple tapped. This way, later on, they'll be much happier about walking off the field when their hopper gets hit rather than having to nurse half a dozen welts.

I bet their tune changes after they've been bonus balled into oblivion a couple of times.

Saw your sig.....how do you like the 68 carbine? I've got one that I've been using for years, I traded a fully modded 98 for it, and never looked back. She leaks like hell right now, but its one of the best markers I've ever owned.

Leg hits, you can't walk or run...you crawl but still in the game.  Arm or hand hits..you cant use that arm or hand.  The gun hit twist went like this, If you were hit in the gun, you had to leave the field, get to the dead box and swap guns with another player who was out. Different fields with different rules. If you're playing on a field, then obviously field rules apply- but if its a pickup game somewhere, without referees to have the final call on things, you need to be absolutely clear about things from the start or you're going to end up wasting all kinds of time for stupid reasons.

I haven't played on a "pay for play" field in 2 years, Reb.  All of ours are outlaw games over the Island. The first thing any host group does is go over safety and rules.  Some rules are modified for game play purposes.

On the couch again or the lil' guy got you up late?  My two have been running me raged.

Ok, for the Lil Guy...Frozen waffles will help ease the teething and get some of the Children's Ambersol in the the swab form. My wife and I swore by that stuff for our two. Keep your eye on the prize of the Vacation! As for Jmac and HV..ignore them for the next few days. 

Don't worry Reb, I won't tell.
