I think any sport in the rain adds that much more to the enjoyment level. I personally love playin' in the rain!

Light rain sure, but a heavy downpour no. Not unless you're a hardcore scenario player. Well actually as long as I have my boots on and my paint is waterproofed, I would probably stay out. It's just water. Plus camo works much better in the wet.

Playing in the rain is great as long as I can keep my goggles and glasses from fogging, which I have a hard time doing anyway. Played last year in the rain while it was drizzling, but everyone wanted to stop when it downpoured. All I could do was stand there in the downpour and try to convince everyone to come back out.

i said no. I just don't think i would put something that i spent all that money on into those tough elements. When it starts to snow i might consider playing in that, but otherwise, no. no rain for me.

I play on an outlaw course that's entirely under tree canopy so I'm fine with it.

only problem I see is rain on goggles but I don't see whny rain-x wouldn't clear that up right away.

Rain and mud combined with paintball add a new level of awesome to playing, especially when it rains during a large game such as a scenario.

Worst case scenario I would be running my A-5 with egrip but then i'd just drop that in the staging area and switch to my tac-8 which is always strapped onto my leg.
Plus it's just straight up good fun to watch all the 'lil agglets run off the field trying to keep their precious electros dry under their jerseys.

I just tape over the holes in my barrel then start playing

I love it except the first time I played I had a non-anti-fog mask so yeah they Fogged up like none other, but now I have my JT Spectra and they won't fog for even the fog god.
