We had a work event last night and 15 of us went down to Tower Paintball at London Bridge to play a round of 7 games. Had an absolute blast! Managed to win one round for my team but got shot 3 times in the last one 2 shots in my left arm and one on my left hand. The top of my knuckle turned the size of a cherry immediately, so was kinda hard to get my glove on this morning :pinch:
Been there on a work do as well⦠but I work just across the street from there
Good fun but prepare for a lot of crouching and then aching legs the next day⦠well at least thatās what happens if you do as little exercise as me!
Yes, it does hurt but with all that adrenalin in your body itās not too bad at the time. A bit sore this morning, with a few red bruises on my left arm (looks like a hickey) but my finger is definitely the worst.
Serrisan, yes, I was surprised how physically demanding it is, but I exercise quite a lot anyways so muscles are not too bad
I bet the outdoor one is a lot better. The place in London Bridge is quite crammed and groups are big. You couldnāt really play strategically. It was more like shooting the crap out of each other and trying not to get hit
Really?! Thatās brilliant! Would love to have a go at throwing on of those :w00t: Managed to shoot my boss in the butt last night, that was very satisfying :D:cool:
On another note⦠i used to skirmish (airsoft)! The boys used to hunt me on purpose and try and shoot me up!! Loved it! Had my own thompson and still have my own glock at home!
I got shot in the derriĆØre whilst retreating from an ambush!
Iāve only heard and seen these grenades on video - never real life!
Also on one occasion I got hit, Put my hands up to surrender and not be shot as I walked out, gun in one, open palm in another - someone obv did not hear me say Iām out and shot me (by accident) right in the open palm! OUCH!!!
Though a friend of mine did get hit doing the same right in the nuts from about 2metres!!!
Last time I went paint balling was at some place down in kent. Canāt remember the name of it now somting like rapid paintball. Anyway a group of us went (I won obviously) we had to finish early because we all ended up having a massive punch up because someone shot my mate up the arse with a paintball. Was a good day though. They even had Machine paintball guns down there ones like Oziās and AK47ās I had one it fired about 300 painballs a mintue. I was like rambo with that thingā¦oh and they had rocket launcher paintball guns where you rolled a paintball the size of a football into it and aimed it at someone from a distance. I shot one of my pals with itā¦he looked like Mr Blobbyā¦:w00t:
I think they have shut down now though the placeā¦Shame was a good crack
