Welcome!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Daniel Mor and I want to introduce what you are about to look at. My buddy Eli and I are huge fans of paintballing as he told you all already. We are two kids who live on Long Island and are really interested in playing this game. Let me tell you what you could experience from this web site. First of all, we would love to answer any questions that you guys might have. Seriously don't be shy, we want to answer any question any one of you guys or gals have. It could be anything, even if it really has nothing to do with paintball (although it probably will or you wouldn't be asking us :P). Also, since my buddy and I have actually had a lot of experience paintballing, we would end up sharing stories and some tricks we have learned in our years. Since we live in the northeast part of the country, we will update you guys on events, tournaments, or just great places to stop by and play.

Okay since Eli has already given you guys his list of equipment I think I might as well share mine. I own a Proto SLG 08 (the one with the roll back problem if anyone needs help fixing it ask me and I'll tell you how, I fixed mine very easily) with a 48 ci 4500 psi ninja tank, and a Torque hopper. I kind of want to update my equipment but paintballing is an expensive sport...

Well for now that's all I could think of informing you. Please question or comment and trust me we will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

So ladies and gentlemen good night and good paintballing!

Pros and Cons


There are many pros and cons between indoor (aka speedball) and outdoor paintball (aka woodsball) fields. I cant tell you one is better than the other because everyone has different preferences but what I can do is tell you about each and so you can make your decision on which one you prefer. First of all let me give you a slight description of each. An indoor paintball field is generally very small and the bunkers are generally mostly made of inflatables. Indoor games also tend to be really quick in pace so the faster your marker shoots the more chance you will have in winning the game. An outdoor field in contrast is usually bigger and the bunkers can be anything from wooden structures to the trees around you. Outdoor fields are also much slower and so a more accurate marker is best for it.

Indoor fields:

Pros:
1. You can fit more games in a day
2. There are usually many fields around
3. Teaches you how to power slide
4. Helps you communicate and work as a team
5. Teaches you how to snap shoot

Cons:
1. You are more likely to get out early in the game
2. Often very loud
3. Usually no good cover
4. It gets very crowded

Outdoor fields:

Pros:
1. Games last longer
2. You are more free to move around
3. More people can fit in one game
4. There are theme based fields
5. Teaches you how to flank
6. Helps you learn how to play with a bigger team

Cons:
1. Running around with a lot of gear for a long time
2. Sometimes not enough refs to have a fair game
3. Team confusion which can cause friendly fire

I hope this helped you figure out which fields you like the best if not then you are just going to have to go out and find out by yourself.

A Blog Emerges


Seven years ago, I stepped foot onto a paintball field for the first time. I was eleven years old at the time, unaware of the way that this activity would drag me in. I played this game at Cousins Paintball in Coram. The field was outdoors but small, and the rental equipment was hapless and cheap. I entered the game feeling nervous, yet excited.

When the whistle rang, I began to panic. My friend got shot in the mask within seconds, which set me off into a frenzy of blind fire. However, when I saw a guy get shot up and the walk off the field unmoved, something in my mind clicked. All of a sudden, the chance of pain did not scare me anymore. For the rest of that day, I was fearless.

I have continued to go paintballing in recent years, and it has truly become a passion of mine. I am now 18 and have gotten serious about this hobby. I own a Tippmann A-5 with a 20" barrel, which I use as often as I can.

On this blog, I will examine everything in the realm of paintball. There will be stories of certain experiences, and analysis of new equipment. I hope you all follow this blog, and enjoy its content.
