*Mods, if this needs to be moved to Marker Gallery, I apologize. I thought it might be better appreciated here.* Yup, title pretty much says it all. Last weekend, I strapped up for my first weekend of paintball since I got hurt, and played with Tippmann's D3 X-ball team. Let me just say, that their gun's are absolutely sick. They were all WAS'd, CF'd, etc. And I tell you what, they shot laser beams. The only problems I noticed were that they were so long, it is extremely hard to gunbattle with them. The weight is also very noticeable off the break. I don't have any pictures of me playing with one, but I did use one for a point or two when I messed up my shocker. We got rolled all weekend, but it was fun I guess, as much as I hate losing. Some of the guys were really good, but other's seemed like they were out of place on an x-ball field, and like they'd rather be playing 7-man, which I can understand. But anyways, on to the pictures. Before the break, late saturday. Some of us had changed into our usual jerseys, looking for some good luck.   John:  Matt:  Some Other guy:  And Now, I get to whore out pictures of myself from the weekend.       And By far my favorite picture of all time.  ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

| Great experience I'm guessing. It would be nice to play with more experienced players around here, but thats hard to come by without a 2 hour drive. |

As I said in my original post, they had WAS boards, and they rolled. The team was okay, but it's always fun to play with new people.

 That got to be fun! Wow, just one Q, do you wear gloves? It kinda sucks when you get lit up about 2-11 times in the front hand and neck. Not that you get shot 11 times per game, or in the neck.

I'm not a fan of gloves. Especially on weekends as wet as it was that weekend. The second day, on the non-turf field, I was completely covered in mud, I'll have to take some pictures of my gear if I'm not too hungover and decide to go play sunday. They're still covered in mud.

I'm not sure who I'll be with. My PSP team kinda fell apart, but there are a couple of D3 teams that want me to guest for them, so I'm not sure. And I love my Burberry, it's super thick. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

So, I take it they don't have to shoot Tippmann as part of their sponsorship? Unless you just got to shoot whatever.... Anyway as to the Agg at least you don't have an HK Army Headband.... ------------- Que pasa?

Since I was just a free agent, no, I didn't have to. They only had a couple of spares, seeing as they never go down. I only used one for a couple of points. And oh course I'm not wearing an HK headband. I'm east coast silly. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

East Coast I'm from mass and I swear to god I am going to start burning every HK headband I see.... We were actually talking about it at practice today and no one could figure out why they are so popular... ------------- Que pasa?

Because they were short a couple of players, so they picked up some free agent killers? ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |
