I played a little paintball, and the most impressive game was when I had sprinted along the perimeter to get a sniper angle on a path, wait 20 seconds, and have a Marine Recon AD barrel roll from behind a tree 30 feet from me that I never heard and put a single round in my goggles before I knew what was happening. It bounced but I wasn’t about to call that anything but legit AF.
I saw the military haircut and asked him after the round.
I’m great against paper targets…but that’s not the same as combat and I am crystal clear about it.

You sometimes hear about the paintballers winning, but when you’re not actually at risk of death you take more chances.
