bunkering

[tokyo_WA]

hey all!

tell me, is it legal to grab someone's barrel, and shoot them with their own marker?
if so, it could lead to some very entertaining paintball.

if anyone has anything else to add, please post some stuff on this thread, someone has to know this kinda stuff don't they?

:hammer: :armed: :cool:

[Kahnage]

tokyo!!!
how long have you played paintball for?

man this is a non contact sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it would be entertaining cuz i bet if you tried to grab someones pride and joy they would kick your arse and give you some bonus balls on your way to the dead ##ne!!!!!!!

there are many other points i could mention... but i'll let someone else do that for me!!

:hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :armed:

[Bill]

lol, no its non contact so you cant grab their gear.

But that brings up an interesting story.
A few years ago (quite a few) we (Kaditcha) were playing at a tourney in Dubbo.
Animal ran out of paint so the crazy bastard walked straight up the center of the field, suck his empty SL68II in someones chest, toldthem to surrender, then grabbed their market and opened up on the rest of their team with their marker:D

[Cpt.Krunch]

Any form of physical contact, intentional or not, and you'll be called out instantly in an APPL event. I pretty sure it's the same rule for everyone.

JD

[Knackers]

someone tries to do that to me on the feild & they should expect a 114ci bottle clonked across their noggin:hammer:

[TYDDY]

If you realy had to ask this question paintball aint for you.
If you arent that dumb and real play and are good enough to play at a tourney. (judging by the question) your a long way from that.
I hope i get the chance to put you in the dead ##ne for wasting 4 minute of my (i am bored at the moment) time. taken to respond to your thread.

[ian]

mate go straight to jail do not pass go...do not collect $200.
A question you had to ask , but a question few will answer
Take up tugg of war or something at least thats a hands on sport you seem to be leaning towards.;)

[tokyo_WA]

i'm only very nerw to the sport. sorry if i have pulled on a few emotional chords, but all I'm after is answers to what may seem very trivial questions. sorry if i have annoyed anyonje, but we all had to start somewhere, and if it means asking some dumb questions, thats where I start.

[Kahnage]

thats cool man !!!!
next?:D :D :D

[Jamie_Cracker]

yeah ask the next stupid question i am ready for it now:D
just dont ever touch anyone on the paintball field cause you will be shown the door and if it is someone like me you will have to get your marker removed from somewhere not nice:D
it is definetly better to ask here than to try something on the field:D

[minihux]

I remember watching some american dvd where some one jumbs the snake and lands on the other teams player and then shoots him and keep on playing lol............ohhhhhhhh americans they sure are leading the way.........

peace minihux

[Jamie_Cracker]

thats why we dont allow jumping of barricades:D :D

[Deadeye]

are you allowed to dive over snakes in APPL tournies?

[Bill]

Nah but you can step.

That means that one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times.

[Bozo]

the best one iv seen is Rocky Cagnony, (Push vid I think)
they show it in slomo and he dives full length over the snake hori##ntal to the ground.

his path takes him directly over the other player lying behind the snake...
Rocky drills him in mid flight with a vertical single shot to the back and then slams down at full stretch behind the guy and starts to shoot at someone further up the field.

the guy lying behind him is in shock and best of all Rocky did not even look over his shoulder to check the guy...

I tried a bit of that the other day while training with the boys and I got the jump part down but the shooting part was really more of a barrel stab.... into the ground...:D:D:D
lucky I use a good ole SS Boomy...hehehe

[ian]

nah can''t do that either .
You can cross the snake as long as one foot is touching the ground at all times ...;)

[Pompous Frog]

Well, there have been accounts of this in recent American tournaments and it is a tactic that has been talked about in PGI:

When your marker goes down but you still have paint in it, grab a handful and try to sneak up on the opposition and slap the paint onto one of the other team's players. Taking him, and yourself out.

Or you could throw it at them....keeping them behind a bunker....seen that happen, it's funny.

[HellSpawn]

I recon it's week no to be able to jump your barricade's. I expect to put my body on the line everytime I play.
If you don't, you dont love this sport enough.

[Crazy]

I agree Hellspawn but it's probably an insurance problem.

[HellSpawn]

I dont love insurance either...

[Bozo]

too right

and

yeah comes close behind telstra, banks and the taxman
:D

[Cpt.Krunch]

Sorry pompus my man, but a paintball must be "fired" from a marker or it doesn't count if you get hit. No throwing.

JD

[TTAM]

Not being able to jump barricades is for the safety of all not just yourself, imagine your lying behind the snake and someone jumps over with their knee landing square in your lower back :eek: not my idea of fun..

[Deadeye]

my idea of fun: sliding across a snake shooting someone while you do and then dropping off the side to safety:D

now heres my plan: is it APPL legal; grab a handful of balls throw them in the air so they land on the dude your about to bunker, while hes looking up to see where they are coming from run past and shoot him?:armed:

[Tom]

no jumping is also there so you dont put a huge tear in the barricade incase you fall short, The barricades have a harder enough life as it is, Sup Air fields dont come cheap i believe
Cheers

[Jamie_Cracker]

you treat the filed bad like jumping on barricades and stuff and you will kicked off the field:D they are definetly not cheap, deadeye no you can not throw things at other people at all:hammer:
can you imagine be or big gav jumping over a barricade and you being on the other side:eek: use a little common sense please

[Pompous Frog]

Well then the NPPL must have alot better insurance than us.

At Hunington Beach (videos) I saw guys do tonnes of dives over the snake. But ohwell.

Also I've got some nice footage of over bunker moves. These Americans are mad....well, if we wanna play like them and not sue when some one gets injured we need to play in Tasi because no one sues any one in Tasi....but then again...we would have to go to Tasi.

[Cpt.Krunch]

Hey pompus my man, they DO have better insurance than us. We've got the ONLY insurance company we could find that would insure us. Sucks but true.

JD

[Pompous Frog]

You guys should just get people to sign and agreement that says they can't sue. Hell, I'd do it. I don't care if I don't get composation for breaking my leg while leaping over a trapezoid, just aslong as it looked cool while I did it.

[Big Gav]

Sorry Jamie but that is a bad example. Unfortunatly there are only two animials on this planet thet cannot jump Me and elepanhts (must have somthing to do with our big trunks or saggy arses:confused: )

[Deadeye]

if someone signs a waver form that voids there right to sue..they can still sue:( the court will still say that a duty of care must have been provided by law.

waivers arn worth the paper they r written on

[CDG]

yeah...wavers don't mean squat.....:(

The person who got hurt can always say they didn't know the full implications of what they were signing and the feild owners didn't fully imform then of the consquences....:( :( :(

Are you going to the Lionel Hutz school of law DeadEye:D

[Souse]

funny you guys should mention jumping on people.

a few years back i fell( other people reckon i launched but i'm sticking to my story) off about the 5 step on top of some guy.

i landed on his chest in the sitting position. and i may say i was a few kilos lighter.

the poor fello was unconcious for around 20 minutes until the ambulance got there. i never did find out how badly injured he was but he wasnt breathing to well.

now if that story doesnt explain why you cant jump barricades your on you own.

[Deadeye]

Absoulutely:D

[Jamie_Cracker]

my point exactly souse:D
Big Gav I will be nice and say it must be the trunk although I dont need confirmation on that thanks all the same:D
kermit it will never happen the insurance company would never allow it and yes waiver forms can work sometimes if you do it right although there are still heaps of loop holes:D

[Jamie_Cracker]

What about the Johnny Cochrane school of law:D :D :D

[Kahnage]

thats ok as long as there is still diving and sliding!
anyway the sliding is way more fun on grass:D

[The Buddhist]

Amen to that Bunker Monkey :D :D

[CHEEZAL]

I dont know about the jumping rule,I mean i've played by it but sometimes i've questioned it..
I always thought it was just a safety issue or dont risk damaging the sup air field by tripping on it and ripping it out of the ground.

although it's always been around,you've never been able to jump barricades.
I got out once for hurdling a sandbag wall off the break to cut time on getting to the bunker i wanted to get too.
When it was clear no one in that bunker directly in front,and it was no problem to hurdle it...
That was at Helensburgh.

I personally think it should be discretionary,i mean yes saftey wise leaping onto someone is bad and if you know someone is there you shouldnt jump.

but how many times has it come down to the last few guys on the field and someone just goes to cut across the field to get to the flag by leaping the snake and Bam "your outta there!"
In that case in my opinion is stupid.No one is in danger,Minimal chance to the field equipment being damage and it's only a minor rule infraction that has caused that person to be out,when he/she has survived the entire game.

Call me wrong! but as i said it's only my opinion.
Later ppl.

:hammer:

obviously the jumping rule is there for a reason, but i dont see how it should apply to non-sup air equip.
i mean, if there is no threat of injury to another player, why not jump some tyres or sandbags to get to a bunker. of course this doesn't apply to sup-air fields, but tourneys held at non-sup air fields, has this rule ever been even a little leniant int his circumstance?
the goddamn americans do it all the time, but that comes down to insurance i spose.

:armed:

[Toopy]

at the tourney in rocky we were allowed to jump the barracades on the non sup air fields.

[TTAM]

No jumping isnt that big a deal. If you get too carried away and jump the snake too bad, it adds another element of game play.

[Jamie_Cracker]

yep it is just another rule to deal with,i cant see a problem with it:D It is pretty simple and it wont change:D and if you are the last on the field and jump the snake to get the flag and get eliminated for it tough luck:D I have seen it and laughed my arse off when it happened:D :D

[GAV WA]

Cheezal, it's no use changing the rule so that if you don't land on someone then it's ok, I think most people would only jump a barricade if they thought nobody was on the other side so penlisising them after they have landed on someone and maybe hurt them is too late, especially for the guy on the ground. It is also a deterant to stop possible accidents. If you speed down a street but don't hit anyone the police will still book you, same theory.

[HellSpawn]

week pricks

[GAV WA]

no, WE just don't enjoy having other men crawling all over us. But if you do that's up to you.

[HellSpawn]

WEEK!!!!!

[Yzo]

[GAV WA]

well jump over a barricade and land on me and we'll all see who's a week prick and it won't cost you money like the other times you've layed on boys.

[tokyo_WA]

:D good one Gav!

gross, but good!

[HellSpawn]

Good one Gav. :cool:

[GAV WA]

anyway it's all up to the APPL, and I just wish we were still playing the next round. Any new news, Is there still hope to play the Sydney round.

[Cpt.Krunch]

So does everyone here Gav. We're doing what we can. 50/50 at this stage. Depends what our polies have to say to us about our laws.

BTW, the main reason there's no jumping is insurance. The secondary reason is damage to the field.
