Paintball - Jamaica Talk

bountyx · #1 (**permalink**) 01-11-2009, 12:20 PM

I have friends in North America who keep telling me how fun paintball is. Well, one of these days, I will finally get a chance to experience it for myself. Paintball has come to Jamaica.

I need to round up some friends and go check it out.

AAAAAHAHAHA!!! They don't have skateboarding but they have paintball???

On the flipside, I just can't help but think its just gonna be like target practice for all the gangsters-in-training.

I wonder if its such a good idea to show them how much fun it is to fake-shoot people.

Let's put it this way, with what the cost is likely to be, I don't see the current crop of "shottas" hoofing it over to St. Thomas for bad man training with paintball guns. More than likely, it'll be the more resourced persons who will pursue that kind of entertainment.

Kids already know how much fun it is to fake-shoot people. They have Quake/Halo/Doom/CounterStrike etc.

Yea you got me there. They can find it anywhere if they want.

LOL @ badman training.

Have fun trying it! I've never done it cuz I'm scared it'll hurt. I like laser tag instead.

Paintball...brings back oh so painful of memories of my younger days...from about twelve to sixteen. My brothers aquired these guns and built a paintball range. Only problem is...between games I apparently made great target practice..and during games I just made a great target. Many times getting hit with no gear on and nursing those stupid painful welts for the next few days.

Only use I ever had for the gun was when I discovered a mouse in my moms basement. Good thing the paint is easily washed away with water..or my mom probably would have died upon seeing her floors and walls!!

My ex decided to take up the "sport" in his 40's. He started buying all kinds of equipment - high-end guns, camo. And he travelled to distant battlegrounds for tournaments, etc. The tab got pretty high.
What he should have been doing was fixing the deck, the driveway, repairing the kitchen floor, putting in new cabinets, etc.
No, I'm not thrilled about paintball.

You need a hobby. Why not go with him to paintball and participate together?
