Quote Actually, it should be fine even after a direct hit. Those things are designed to stay on target through grenade blasts and artillery, and from what I've heard, actually do.

I'm not going to call the hospital, because you won't learn anything if I do.

Awesome, you can own the night. Hope you clean the paint off it before you return it to the boss

 I would try to keep my eyes adjusted to the darkness and keep the scope covered most of the time you can.

Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken!

To answer a few questions:

1. It's a starlight scope.
2. It is not from Vietnam.
3. It is Generation 2+. Vietnam Starlights were Generation 1.
4. I think these can be had now a days for about $1500.
5. My boss bought it a number of years ago for about $3500.
6. I don't plan on getting hit with a paintball in the starlight scope at night. If I do, my Job is safe, I am worth alot more than a starlight scope or $3500 to him.
7. If it is hit I'll clean it before returning it. Problem solved. It is rather sturdy and I seriously doubt a paintball @ 300 fps will hurt it.

you should look at OMHWs web site. they have a bunch of tactics on combating nightvision...

the 24hour game i played stunk. we all had to wear glow sticks around our neck so we had a glare on our masks. also they banned the use of flashlights so we couldent see anything at all. half way through the night a bunch of kids took off their glow sticks and started shooting (over shooting) people at close range.

Wow, hardcore woodsballer.
I have never played a 24 hour game, let alone a hour long woodsball game. But nightvision, on a pb gun, Sir, you have impressed.

Good luck at the game, and you better own up the night with that thing.
PS- Are you sure a little 47/3000 tank will last 24 hours?

Isn't just that the sweetest picture ever of David?

Is anyone else going to play in the 25 hr game on the 28th at EMR paintball park? They are real cool check their web sight out at http://www.emrpaintball.com/. They are located in NE pennsylvania near NY border. I have only been there twice but it was fun both times. They seem to have alot of speed ball tourneys on their schedule.
