"I am gonna go to Walmart and buy a bunch of foam egg crates (the kind you put on top of your mattress) and paint them green. Then I'll wear it as a camo suit but the paintballs will bounce off me and not break!" This is the future of our country. Trying to find the loop holes instead of improving your skills. I idn't really know where to post this, but I wanted to let you guys see this idea. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Flatline Barrel & PT Shroud 12" Lapco Bigshot & Machine Gun Shroud E-grip & JCS Double Trigger JCS Voodoo Stock w/ RVA Lapco Milsim Foregrip 32 Degrees Remote Crossfire 68/4500 |

OK, first of all I just want to let you know that I’m not trying to flame you. With that said, I think that this is a bad Idea, you will stick out like a sore thumb even if you try to camo it, which means that everybody will be shooting at you and so eventually after hundreds of hits a ball that is going fast enough will find a hard enough area and break. Also, what about your face mask, you cant cover that w/ foam and that’s a pretty hard area. I think it would be better if you just played the game the way it was meant to be played. -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!

Oh your right, I didn’t notice that, sorry. But the guy who is going to do it is an Idiot with no sense of dignity nor a true paintballer. ------------- Join the XP Re-Revolution!

I know! What if, instead of preventing hits from breaking, he just got played more and got better so he didn't get hit? |

Oh I agree with you....the kid is an idiot for thinking that will work. I just thought it was hilarious and wanted to let you know what kind of people are out there. I agree with Lester98C. This kid is the type that would wipe a hit off his clothes. People should spend more time iproving their skills instead of trying to find an easy way out. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Flatline Barrel & PT Shroud 12" Lapco Bigshot & Machine Gun Shroud E-grip & JCS Double Trigger JCS Voodoo Stock w/ RVA Lapco Milsim Foregrip 32 Degrees Remote Crossfire 68/4500 |

We did at my friend's house. From 15 feet away the ball bounced and hit A tree 10 feet to the left of him and broke. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Why shoot that person in the front if you know hes going to protected, when you can shoot that person from behind where he isnt protected....light him up from a his ass to the back of his head....bonus ball "in the back of the neck" ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

We had a guy running around at our field a few years ago who wore a field jacket liner that paint would bounce off of. He never understood why everyone shot him below the waist. -------------

Next time you see this guy tell him to just get fat. im like 5' 6" and 205 and ive only had about 20 paintballs brake on me(iver been playing for about a year and a half). the fat just makes then bounce off unless they hit your mask of gun. -------------

| wut will happen is he will get shot and the ball break then everyone will get mad and start to shoot him then he falls down crying because he got shot so many times. |

yea one time some guy was playing(noob) and he had on one of those winter jackets with the big pads, dont know the name of them though. He went to post the flag in the center of the field and he got shot more then a hundred times, we called the ref for a paintcheck on him and no breaks at all |
. Man was my team pissed.
