Re: Paintball in the rain?

I will play in the rain, snow, sleet, heavy wind, -12*F. The only thing that would stop me is the temperature being 100*F with 100% humidity. I live in MN and I hate the heat.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

Rain is fantastic to play in. Its the reason that my A5 has the Response Trigger and not the E Trigger fitted.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

I like the rain in the summer and spring. When its cold in the fall and winter i cannot stand it. Snow is ok, just not rain in cold.

I usually play in my bathing suit and my pod pack, im crazy.

You have it right, but I don't mind Autumn (Fall).
In England it doesn't really get cold until the end of October and sometimes not until the end of November. We're lucky to get snow at all on anything other than very high ground (Snowdonia in Wales, Pennines in England and Caerngormes in Scotland). It just gets wet everywhere else, with a very cold biting wind!
Where I live is a mile from the sea, so if it does snow its only a few inches and lasts a week at most.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

Played last Friday in crap weather. All amateurs with rental gear, tactics gone immediately, followed by 2 hours of spray and pray because masks were so badly fogged up, lost count of all the hopper reloads. Fun? Yup! Would I do it again? Definately!

Hmm.. I've never played in the fog before. That sounds like fun. Next time it's foggy I'll have to organize a quick game.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

Playing in the rain can be a great time, it only sucks when you go diving hard for your cover and completely slide past it!

Re: Paintball in the rain?

We used to have football practice in the rain. Tackle someone and then you both slide for about 20 yards. Good times.

As far as ballin in the rain............."if it ain't rainin, we ain't trainin." Sunny days are made for mapping and communication discussions. Rainy days are for gettin out there when the cards are stacked against you and equipment failure is imminent. Then, when you do have good weather, all the problems are gone, and all you have to worry about is kickin a little arse.


"If you think you have a disadvantage, you are wrong. HE has the disadvantage because you have to get out........and there is ALWAYS a way out."
