this was done in a tournament once, i saw the video on youtube or something. the guy who was hit by the paintball was called out, it was a legal hit. Not sure if the game was professional level or not, but it still remained an elimiation.

Like others have said, if that happened to me, i would have nothing but respect for the person who did that, its pretty creative. To me, that is more impressive than a barrel tag.

Someone mentioned that in real combat you cant pick up spent ammunition, which is true, but this is a game. If this were real life, none of us would be here because there isnt one person on this forum who has never been shot with a paintball.

Maybe my next game i wont take my marker, just a zip-lock bag full of balls and throw them at people. Should make for a fun day.

We have knife kills at my field. if you sneak up up behind them then and touch them on the chest then they get knifed. Our team likes to whisper "Prism" in their ear when we do this so they know who killed them.

Great kill.

I feel it's a hit... and to rebut this statement...

"Well even if no one wants to admit it this is a game based on war and in war you can't throw a spent round and kill some one so I say no. It's a tie"

But, in war If we are both out of ammo... there would be no tie.

1 Beat him to death with my empty weapon

2 Stab him with one of several combat knives I carry

3 Beat him to death with my kevlar

See what I'm getting at? That one last thrown paint ball is much like the above 3.

Best answer yet. This aint war. But if it were, I dont think Mr Bad Guy is gonna be like, "well that was a good fight. See you tommorow after we get more bullets." I wouldnt give him the opertunity for one. He's gonna get beat swiftly about the head and neck. Dude, I saw Saving Private Ryan. Helmets, stocks, bayonets, 60 mil mortar rounds, what ever you got you better use, or your gonna get waisted.

It's a kill and I even have a source back to the origins of paintball. I ran across this at MNpig check out rule 5. I think I'll try stocking someone and squirt them across the neck rather then a tapout. The citation is below the quote and web address.


1.If you eliminated a player, you could take his paint and CO2. (You had to reimburse them after the game was over.)
2.An eliminated player was obligated to inform the judge at a home base as to the identity of the player that eliminated him.
3.You could wear what you wanted, but only one layer. You could not add or take away any clothing until after your score was totalled.
4.Removing your goggles was an immediate disqualification. (I personally like this one.)
5.You could eliminate an opponent by breaking a paintball on them by hand or squirting them with a punctured paintball.
6.Modifications to the Nel-Spot was limited to $2.00. The restrictions described things that we now call constant air, barrel extensions and quick changes. This was BEFORE these things were INVENTED! You were not allowed to extend the magazine capacity or put a shoulder stock on it.
7.What we call a paintcheck, was then called a "truce". If you thought you marked an opponent, you yelled "TRUCE!". You and your opponent met and you visually inspected his person for a mark. If he was marked, he was out. If he was not, you went your separate ways and were expected to leave sight of one another.

I have heard of people "committing suicide" in a scenario game rather than being captured by biting a ," cyanide pill". its actually just biting a paintball. I say it counts. If the guy has great enough aim to actually do that I would give it to him just because it was awesome!

i played speedball with a bunch of rec players once, we were playing against a d3 team that were having a practice. in a matter of seconds my entire team was slaughtered. i took a paintball out of my hopper, and busted it on my goggles.

im actually a pretty decent speedball player, so i didnt do it to wuss out, i did it cause i thought it would be funny.

If the player has the chutzpa to try it and it works, give 'em the props and call out !!

One of my team mates did this in a final battle at a Mad Ivan game (Markett Gardens 2006 - GO FERRET !!) (his marker went down righ before the start of the final battle). And yes, the OPFOR called out when they got hit with breaks.

At another game I was playing (Viper 'Cold War Reheated' 2005, a kid named Moklahuta gogged a sniper by squirting a busted paintball onto him. Moklahuta had suckered the OPFOR guy into walking him through the enemy area, and the sniper called to his team mates to let them through. When they got through, Moklahuta squirted him in the goggs, and the Ref called it a hit. The whole episode was hilarious !! The OPFOR sniper took it in stride and laughed about it as he shook hands and walked off.

And in actual combat, there's always trash and rocks if I'm out of ammo and weaponry....

So IMHO, yes, it's a hit - it broke.
