1. Did it once - It was a lot of fun

It wore me out. I actually captured the flag on my second round.

I'd consider it as another sport to get into if work didn't suck up most of my slack.

2. Just started

Great way to 'bond' with my son.

Sonofabichin balls hurt though. And it's embarassing when an old dude (42) gets his ass shot off by kids 3 feet tall.

I'm partial to laser tag, but my son (14) likes the rush...

I took one to the nads and decided my short lived paintball career was over. but it didnt keep me from pointing the gun out the window and firing off a few rounds into traffic

5. My son is into it, and so I've played a little bit

It is incredibly fun. Although, I gotta tell ya, the first time I got shot in the butt I was surprised at how much it stung! My son, of course, got me, and it was all I could do to keep from unleashing a stream of obscenities about how much it stung!! Left a dang welt on me too! Fortunately, he didn't have his "Black Dragon" on "full auto mode" or I'd have been a goner for sure!

8. Prefer laser tag instead..

.. though I have yet to try paintball. I'll never get into hardball, I'm not a guy for blue marks all over his body.

Though the greatest rush I've had was when I participated in a minor laser tag war. Two teams, 50 on each, each team had a base and 2 laser MG's that could not be taken out of the base. The game was set to last 3 hours in a fairly large wood (something like 80*150 metres). A good share of people were left in the base, and a couple of large rushes were tried, and after 2 hours or so, things were starting to thin out, with both teams having tried almost everything.

Anyway, one of the older guys on my team rounded up 15 or so people and told them his plan. The 10 of them should continously attack towards the base while the rest of snuck our way around the fences that marked the perimeter of the playing field. At a certain time, they should gather as many as they could and attack straight forward into the enemy base.

We made our way around to the enemy base, and at the time that we had agreed on, we could hear the others attack, and while the enemy defenders were busy shooting the attackers down, we snuck up behind their base and proceeded to take out all of the defending players. And since they had to go to the center of the playing field to be resurrected, we had plenty of time to take their flag and make our way to base camp.

But really, the rush of popping up behind those defenders and just shoot them one by one was the best thing I've ever tried.
