Enjoyed looking at this set. Second photo is definitely my favorite. Thanks for sharing these photos!

Cheers!

That don't look like no kind of paintball that I'VE ever played... ;-)

Is this some kind of Idaho-specific local variant of paintball where participants just use their own legally-held assault rifles, rather than splashing out extra cash on guns that fire paint? ;-)

Cracking pictures, either way..

I was tying to make funny by later adding it was "lead" paint. ie real bullets. We shoot at steel targets...

As cheesy as it might be, I like the second one for the simple fact you captured the shell casing in mid-air.

I recently saw (on the Military Channel) that they use a round that still looks similar to a regular one but actually fires a kind of paint ball. I think they referred to it as a marker round. But then again, I think they also said it was only available to the military and police.

Simunitions is the brand name. Pricer than real ammo, civilians can buy it here (ID) but really I only see LE using it because it is expensive. Better than airsoft for force on force stuff..

This is what makes DPS, people posting great images and talking essentially a foreign language (see above ?) and none of it matters when the pictures are this good

What a fantastic selection Bruce, I've never pain balled, airsofted or whatever, but it looks fun and the set were very enjoyable
