Who here does paintball. And if so, what kind of gun do you employ?

I've never participated in a real paintball game (or whatever it would be called, tournament maybe?) but I imagine that I would be pretty good at it. I'd probably like a much longer gun firing at a higher pressure than most people (at the expense of speed, of course, keeping everything even) but I'm not sure if that would even be possible.

Well, I haven't done an actual game, but I had a boyfriend once who had several, so whenever I would go to his house, we'd do paintball. This is fourth grade mind you, but I thought it was fun. You know who always won? Haha, you guessed it! Girls rule!

United States law states you must be firing at no more than 260 fps. So longer barrel, more accuracy. Higher pressure, higher vps.

Since when do you know so much about paintball? I always thought..well..that doesn't matter.
