*points* Thats me marker, standard Spyder Electra DX.

Bit miffed though, as i have to go and buy a new CO2 system as the one i have is illegal in the EU (damn me for importing from the US). Might splash out on an air system.

Anyone else play? Care to show your photos?

rubbish
if you got hit in the eye, no buts about it, your eye would by aniallated

[Saburn]

that's true.

I've been a few times, strangely enough both times the opposing team was made up of drunken scotsmen, who seem to take on amazing ability whilst inebriated...

[Raziel]

yeah i played, it was fun considering i only got shot twice and hit 4 people in the face. i guess when you play alot of sniping games it comes in handy.

i dont agree....the place were i have played the guns they got wont even make it to the other side u get shot from 35-50 feet away i doubt ur eye would be gone...

[Alix]

You know i do Chris =)
I'm off again next week. Yay!
I was going to buy some equipment of my own, but i don't have the money and my friend backed out so there was not point in it.
Yep, that's about it. However where i play, if you remove your mask they kick you out, after dragging you around then everyone can take shots at you. Haha! Oh and you will go blind if you were shot in the eye. I was shot through the face mask once...well it exploded on my mouth gap thing, and i got lots of paint in my mouth. Eww =\

[Austin]

Just a regular one, Ive been wanting to fix it up for a while but just never had time.

[PhoenixPhlame73]

My brother and some of his friends play, but I've never considered it, I play tennis. :)

Yeah, it seems to be a fast growing sport over here in the US, but it seems expensive! I've heard people discussing what guns they're going to buy, and sometimes they're talking about five hundred dollars and up!!!

[Xmachine]

Lol mate, a $500 marker is at the lower end of the mid-range. The top tourni players get most of their equipment for free due to sponsers and the like but there equipment easily breaks the $1000 barrier for a marker.

[PhoenixPhlame73]

Well, I'm dead certain I'm neve pickin up THAT hobby....

expensive stuff!

And then there's ammunition, I assume.

[Xmachine]

Indeed, we're sponsered by ZAP, so we get our paint a wee bit cheaper than most but still at £40 for a box off 2000 it ain't cheap.

Rec-ballers can expect to pay £5 - £10 for 100 pellets

[PhoenixPhlame73]

And how much would you go through in, say, a day's worth of playing?

Granted, it will fluctuate, but what's the average?

Also, what's the US to UK exchange rate?
