Got my step dad into paintball
He's 57 and bought a paintball marker last week 
he watched me unload a hopper in the backyard last month and immediatley got bit by the bug so last week we took a trip to the paintball shop and he ended up buying a Pirahna. Bastard got an E-marker with burst and full auto modes where-as my Spyder is fully mechanical  Guess i'll just have to rely on my superior eyesight to beat him

Don't try and church it up son, it's a gun. 
Thats cool though, I wish my friends and I would play more often. It's been forever. Make sure to get him in the hands at least once, that hurts.

Yes, I know. They used them to mark trees that needed to be cut down. I've just always found it funny that people call them markers.

^Damn, and the folks at UT MARA are offering up paintball as a possible activity at Australs next year: http://www.utmara.com/australs/Socials.htm. Maybe I should stick to the futsal or the jungle hiking.
