Went paintballing last night

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 :cool: but got shot 3 times in the last one :blush: 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:

Good fun though, can highly recommend it :slight_smile:

you trooper! I’ve been a couple of times and it hurts like hell when you get shot, never in the hand though!

Been there on a work do as well… but I work just across the street from there :smiley:

Good fun but prepare for a lot of crouching and then aching legs the next day… well at least that’s what happens if you do as little exercise as me! :slight_smile:

Yes, it does hurt but with all that adrenalin in your body it’s 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 :slight_smile:

I’m going paintballing in the summer, at a place in Essex. I can’t wait, it’s a big outdoor one.

I’ve never been before, but I’m almost certain my Call Of Duty experience will be sufficient… :cool:

it does sound fun, & hopefully you’ll lose your ā€œcherryā€ over the weekend :smiley:

I bet the outdoor one is a lot better. The place in London Bridge is quite crammed and groups are big. You couldn’t really play strategically. It was more like shooting the crap out of each other and trying not to get hit :smiley:

Long gone :P:D

also on some courses you can get grenades :woot:

Really?! That’s 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:

You geek :stuck_out_tongue:

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!

I’ve 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 I’m 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. Can’t 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 Ozi’s and AK47’s I had one it fired about 300 painballs a mintue. I was like rambo with that thing…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 it…he looked like Mr Blobby…:w00t:

I think they have shut down now though the place…Shame was a good crack

You can get paintball tanks too, those things fire like crazy…
