When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

"btw wat is the diff betwen pb and airsoft?"

I play tournament paintball and am a ref at the local field. I look for a lot of different things in a field, safety being number 1 and knowledgeable staff being right behind that.

I don't want to be critical, but before you get serious with your idea, you should know the game inside out.

If you have any questions about paintball, equipment, paint, field layout, etc. just leave a message on my profile and I'd be glad to help you out.

Edit: Airsoft doesn't hurt much. It can chip teeth but you should be wearing something over your face, a baclava or cloth hanging from your goggles will do just fine.

Airsoft is more military themed, uses realistic guns, and usually appeals to a different player base.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

well.. no paint involved in normal airsoft. small white BBs flying around at 400 fps, but nobody gets splashed with paint.

monty meant you could view the paintball game from the pcs. so the cameras would be pointed at the paintball game, not at the pc screens :P

sounds like a cool idea, but make it airsoft wargames, and not paintball, and i'm in! :P

but then again, it all could be a dream that isnt realistic at all, like in Mice and Men, and in Raisin in the Sun
and the camera thing, you cannot view a computer screen because the machines are set to view different frequencies, so all u'll c if 3 or 4 big fat lines going across the screen

Not really, not alot of business for it, u constantly need to maintain the PCs, and update programs etc.... cant chargew too much cos ISP charge next to nothing for home use, as for paintballing, good idea, again not huge business for it i dont think, and mixing it with PC's hmmmmm, maybe u could have camera's set up and u can view from the PCs if u want hehe
