It’s hard to be a “popular” paintball blog writer when I have so many bones to pick with paintball in general. It’s no secret that I’m not real happy with the tournament scene and I cringe at the mere mention of mil-sim. I’ve accused certain leading manufacturers of being bottom feeders and I do whatever I can to bring to light some of the “shoot ourselves in the foot” absurdities that occur way to often in this game.

Because this is a paintball blog there are some things on my mind that I don't include here. For instance, today I'm not going to include my thoughts on the capture of Ahmed Hashim Abed who is the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four U.S. Blackwater security guards in Fallujah in 2004 and that three of the Spec Op Navy Seals involved in the capture are now facing criminal charges.
This probably isn't the place to report that after Abed was turned over to Iraqi authorities he was released back into U.S. custody complaining that he had a "bloody lip." Now the three Navy Seals face court martial proceedings.
I like comments. It only takes one or two every now and then to make me happy. Sometimes I hit the comment jackpot. Like I did when I invited my Facebook friends to read this. Fifty four comments resulted on Facebook. Comments can be good for a writer's ego. They can also be distressing. I deleted seven due to dirty language my sailor friend informed me had not been documented yet. Half took the, "I wouldn't touch an 'effing' rental gun ever," direction while the others defended the lowly shooter. I'd show a sample of the comments but they were lost when Facebook disabled my account.
Another time I hit the comment jackpot was on PBNation when I suggested there was no such thing as an "accidental" marker discharge. I suggested you could not pull the trigger by accident and explained how a gun going off when bumped was not an accident but rather a result of someone setting the trigger ridiculously tight. Fourteen forum pages later it was a toss up as to whether I was a moron or a genius.
Comment if you get a chance. I don't think there is a Mom out there who hasn't used the line, "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all." In the case of paintball comments - anything goes!

Read more...Paintball Under Siege In Berlin!!!!!!!!
My friend who is playing a tournament in an big indoor hall in Berlin today just called me. SWAT teams just stormed the paintball hall and right now over 100 paintballers are trapped inside. The police are checking all their guns and the ones that can be adjusted over 220fps (something ) will be taken and destroyed. Might even be some arrests!!!
What kind of country would do this to people who only are out to have fun. Not hurt anyone or do any damage.
The police should be focusing on catching drug dealers, killers and crazy mob people instead.
Germany = free country??? Don´t think so!!!
This whole thing has been filmed and will come up on you tube later on this thread.
Thanks for your time.

A paintball referee walks out on the field with a seeing-eye dog. When the blind ref reaches the center of the field, he snatches the dog up by his collar and starts swinging him around and around.
The head ref speaks up and says "Hey what the hell are you doing?"
The blind ref says, "Just taking a look around.."
This tournament player walks into a Cracker Barrel after a tournament with a frog on his head.
The waitress says, "Hey, what's that?"
To which the frog replies "I don't know. It started as a wart on my bum and this happened."
A paintballer shows up to practice and one of his team mates say, "Hey guy, you've got a steering wheel down your pants."
The guy replies "Yeah I know. Its driving me nuts!"
