I play paintball religously with a team of marines, LEO's and various other combat trained people. Ive been playing for about 9 years and I think its a realistic and fun training excerise. I know this brings up alot of debate. Paintballs dont go as far or as fast as bullets and they dont penetrate brush very well at all. This is true. However, I feel that having that disadvantage, it makes you use camoflauge, cover, suppressing fire and various other tactical movements to hone your skills. My military friends love it and prefer it over real combat any day . We try to use real gun parts or mods for out paintball guns and weigh them down to real weight as much as possible. I also limit the amount of paint I use (30-40 rds in a hopper) and only fire in semi-auto mode.
Having not been in combat, I cant compare the two or really say how effective the skill would be if applied to combat. So I guess I just wanted to gauge reactions and see what you guys think.
