War Wounds

[Jon Miller]

I went paint balling today.

Got hit really hard at close range in my neck and shoulder (shoulder not pictured here).

It was a lot of fun anyway, anyone else do this activity? (I went with a couple of my friends)

(it was oozing blood earlier)

I actually am really bad at it, and don't know if I hit anyone who wasn't already dead or a Ref...

but it was a lot of rush hiding from enemy 'fire'

a number of the games were really big, with ~30 people on a side

the people who had the fancier guns and equpiment really rocked those of us who were renting...

although same had better rental equipment then others, at one point I figured out that most everyone elses shots were going twice as far as mine before noticeably losing altitude..

(some of the reason I didn't do well)

Yeah I've played paintball a few times. Mainly with work guys. Its a heap of fun really. Just getting out there in the bush pretending to be a real soldier without any fear of death. I've only been hit a few times really, seem to have a knack for missing them. Though I have fallen down gullies into streams and mud many a time. At one game I took a tumble down about a 1m and a half fall into a stream, clogged my bloody gun up. Another time a mate and I had ourselves hidden up nicely watching a small section of the main stream cutting the place in two and just camped there and nobody could get passed or get a medic to get them moving again either, we'd just shoot the medic. It really is a lot of fun. Gonna probably be going again in another few weeks.

you must be really good, or perhaps our games are a little different (usually the game ends when a couple guys on one side haven't been hit (hit = out))

I would enjoy having a whole game set up with my frenids, and their freinds..

(not a general anyone who wants to thing...)

there was a stream in one of the fields for us to...

I just stayed on one side giving cover fire (which was mostly ineffectual because of hte fact that my shots were at least twice as weak as everyone elses..) and two of my frenids chaged across (even got waist deep in the water)

Paintball

I have my own gun...

I once played for 16 hours straight. And that was after I had been up for 36 already!!

here's your chance to get a girl - show her

[Nostromo]

So you found out today you're not Jack Bauer. How do you feel?

[MrFun]

Looks more like you got slightly scratched/grazed by a lightsaber.

[Jon Miller]

It bled for a while first...

doesn't look like much in that photo I agree..

still, I am proud of it

worse wound I saw of anybody else out there... (most were just quarter size bruises)

[Alexander's Horse]

Jon!

Go and show it to a girl!

[Lancer]

If you were in a war, you would be talking to saint Peter.

[Agathon]

That's not Jon Miller.

The picture doesn't have his name on it.

[Alexander's Horse]

and I can't see a bar code

[Ted Striker]

It's all good till you get paint in your goggles.

[Alexander's Horse]

but isn't this just another example of how clueless jon is with girls? (God love him)

He gets a nice big bruise to show off. What does he do? He comes here to tell us
