Paintball action is like so cool - but all-consuming

So these guys I know are now well into paintball action and, you know, now they just wanna do and talk about it all the time. Like I’ve been wondering about it. I mean, I like paintball action as much as these dudes but hey, what about the music time, the chill time. Anyway, so I said I’d go to the park with them, do our moves. It’s like everything to them.

Sure, paintball action is a rush you know. Awesome times sometimes. Shooting dudes is cool, and, well, you can make teams and take everybody out. It’s like seriously insane paintball action sometimes, everybody shooting everybody. But we’ve got the moves to win most of the time. Living in Pretoria, we just love going to Gotcha, or to The Woods when we can catch a ride to Fourways, or Blades & Triggers when we visit our cousins in Boksburg.

One time we three took out some tanks. It was so cool. Paintball action mega. Not cause it helped us win or the people in the tank were getting us, just because... Another time, when we were on holiday at Magoebaskloof, my best shot on the day was when I hit somebody in the goggles from the other side of the field. Awesome playball action!

My friends are getting pretty teched up but I prefer to just rent the gear for now. I figure I haven’t been into paintball action often enough, that I haven’t needed to buy my own guns and tech them up like those dudes.

Like, the thing I like about paintball action is the cool parks and fields. What’s really not cool is to get shot in the face and other places where it really hurts. When you first get into paintball action it doesn’t hurt as much, or doesn’t seem to. Then hey, you get tired of getting shot and you get fitter so as to not get shot and to take other guys out.

And the most awesomest paintball action to get into is to play in those games that are close to real, where they act out scenes from wars that really happened. Some are so epic that players come from all over the country to get into it. Real world paintball action is like the ultimate, and you get to meet dudes with similar interests.

Check this out… A game I went to last week that was a re-enactment of a battle from the Vietnam War. There were helicopter drops and pyrotechnics and we were just like soldiers, which my family weren’t so happy about, but hey it was fun and I think we learnt something about life, about working together and fighting as teams to triumph against the odds.

Maybe those friends of mine are right after all. Maybe I should put in more training, gear up with a good gun and stuff, tech up and take on those dudes who’ve been competing at the top level for years. Paintball is here to stay and it’s cool to be the best soldiers we can.
