I got to play for THE Tippmann Factory

*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.

And Now, I get to whore out pictures of myself from the weekend.












And By far my favorite picture of all time.

Looks and sounds like a lot of fun. Glad to hear you're back out playing.

Good to hear you are playing again.

I wish I could say the same.

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.

Thanks, I'm glad you had the opportunity, sounds like you had a great time.

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.

It's one of the original 11 Team Strange PL shockers. It shoots money.

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.

You have the Tippmann "speedball" marker. All you need is a centerfeed to get the same thing.
