I'm a referee at a couple recreational fields and many of the things you mentioned are rules we do go over with beginner players before they head to the staging area, and while I do find it entertaining when I see newer players doing barrel rolls, I wouldn't suggest it because I would be worried about paint breaking in the loader or even possibly accidentally breaking the marker feedneck off especially if it's a marker with a weaker style feed neck. Overall this was a great video with a lot of great tips for newer players.
For the newbies, biggest hurdles are mask fogging and ball chopping. Solutions are: buy a double pane mask(eliminates fogging if the seal of sound), and buy barrels which fit the paint. That plus having a marker with anti ball chop technology is important. Mask is more important though. Nothing worse than being in a tick but you can’t see anything.
That's true. After I decided I liked paintball, I immediately bought the Empire EVS. Much bigger field of vision, more comfortable, no fogging, my glasses fit inside properly, I can breath properly.. it's like three technology tiers above the rental mask.
@@eclous_1459 Look up thermal masks, if you have any paintball stores near you go in person often they have some sort of sale going for at least one of their masks and you can make sure it fits you well. I use the dye i4 while it's around $150 it's the best money spent, easy to take apart to clean and change out visors, never fogs.
only ever went and play paintball once. Was taking cover and a dude sprinted around one of our flanks and shot me 6 times in the same spot on my side in under a second. Never wanted to fight someone so bad before lmao
Probably good that you don't play this sport because this happens a LOT. I myself have a rule that if shoot at a target until they put their hand up because sometimes people go WAY overboard on padding their clothes and it can take forever at times for them to finally know when they're hit.
I put tape on my dye pods so they don't just slide out of my bunker kings strapless LOL used to have that problem when I ran full speed. Good tips, thanks to your channel and friends I already do most of these. I really should make up a pressure tester. Thanks Brad ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
3:08, alright story time. I use to play the pewpew nearly every weekend as a Teen for years, but that can be EXSPENSIVE. So my first shift was to playing pump, theoretically less paint shot = less cost. But then it still was too expensive. So gradually I started breaking the cardinal sin of picking paint shot off the ground, especially the fresh ones that were shot from really far away that bounced off me. And eventually I started going with ZERO paint for a very long time and making it my absolute goal to get an insane KD at my local rec ball field with zero paint at the start. I eventually had to stop because it became a known factor and people would run up on me, but let me tell you that took a very long time to happen lmfao.
Yeah, I had a guy UNLOAD on my back. I had a guy covering that spot and he ducked out without saying anything. Left me with about a dozen bleeding welts. Once the judge saw the damage he went to make the guy chrono again, and the dude drove off with his gear rather than re-chrono. In other words he KNEW he was shooting over the limit and still overshooting at short ranges. BAD Sportsmanship sucks.
I really liked the 'Dont take your mask off' tip, right at the beginning. Too many movies/shows over the years, have people taking off their masks for dialog, but it puts forth a horrible habit for the average player. Eyes are important!! Also, so are Masks. Not just goggles. I thought Bob Long was awesome in the 90's, running around with just JT goggles.... well, I took a paintball to the mouth, and was spittin blood for an hour. Lesson be learned! lol
Brothers and I loved playing woods balls and doing bill Baileys WWII scenarios. Our old team name was Team RamRod we ran the Titman X7 phenom with I believe the 16in hammer head barrel kit the only rifled barrel I believe that’s the only rifle barrel out there. We always dropped our air to 255-260 shot the best without zipping on ya, we had a major advantage on how much further we could shoot and break balls vs every one else. Had several guys bitch to refs that we had to be shooting hot until they see a consistent 255-260 Chrono
hi can I get a few advices on what to get to start playing? mainly on : marker , tank , paint, and kneepads and various accessories that I might need to start and be ok for a while. I know you already made a video but I wanted an updated to 2022 version of that in short words, so that it won't take much of ur time.
0:51 as a ref for my local field I can 100% say we hate blind fire I’ve been shot in the head more times than I can count by people who are blind firing
@@PaintballRuinedMyLife Aren't you like 6'3? What other options do you even have to be low? You're taller sitting in a chair than I am standing on my toes, man!
Dang it Greg, I'm sick and tired of you jacking my pods! Jokes aside man, this is a great video. I just started paintballing again after over a decade and there's always something new and exciting to learn. Thanks for sharing and keep em' coming!
Some I would add: buy a nice folding gun stand so you're not laying your stuff on filth. Get a rolling gear bag if you go often and get tired of carrying all your stuff in your arms or back. Get cases for your mask, tank, loader, gun.
When you have an open bag of paint that you want to save for the next time, put it in a ziplock some paper towel and if they come with a silica pack then use that too. Then suck the air out with a straw then keep it in a stable temp area. Had paint kept like this for like 6 months and was still as good as before.
I’ve got a mag fed Tippman stormer with a 16 inch barrel that I’ve been using for quite a while. I love the gun, for me it’s the compromise between the ergonomics of an airsoft gun and the accuracy of a paintball gun.
Get a Squirrel Sack. It's a large microfiber "bag" with a zipper enclosure. Dump your nasty paint in, zip close, roll around, dump the clean paint out into a clean pod.
What paintball gun do you recommend for a casual paintballer? I’m going to start trying to play more paintball and I’m thinking of buying a Tippmann 98
"... But there's no reason to destroy someone like this and shoot them 6 or 7 times..." My thoughts: "yeah that's pretty standard though in any type of speedball, no but he's right it's just rec ball you probably shouldn't... Wait is that a Giants shirt he's wearing? Hell naw light him up those are the only hits the Giants will ever see!" Hahahahaha Go Dodgers baby! Hey great video though! I haven't played since NPPL Championships here in Vegas in 2011 or 2012 and just bought a marker and hopper the other day at a local pawn shop here and wanted to see some refresher training stuff, tips funny shit etc. and your video popped up and it was really well done, keep 'em coming and if you're ever in Vegas with your gear hmu!
9:00 what kind of kneepads are the best, i've talked to my dad and he says that he wouldn't wear them because it could make it harder to run, but aren't there "flexible" kneepads?
I mean, cleats are a must with some of the fields with artificial turf, the layer of paint on everything will make regular shoes turn the field into a giant slip and slide and nothing is nastier than being full of months old busted paint the whole time.
I stick to playing scenario games. Use to try to play recall twice a month but just too expensive, and all local fields have closed. So now I'm lucky if I manage to play 2 or 3 times a year. RIP challenge park extreme.
"Paintball literally might be the easiest sport to cheat at" "just wipe the paint off" 👀 Airsoft and nerfers: "should we tell him?" 😕 (I know there are 6mm paintball that some people use with airsoft guns and magnetic Nerf etc but that is very niche)
Tomorrow I am playing paintball for the first time with a group of friends, the field we found has a Nuketown area, considering everyone in the group grew up with nuketown it will be fun.
What is the name of the paintball place you go to it looks very familiar to the one I always go to And I also saw someone filming at the turf field doing what you usually do
Hi I'm just getting into speedball/paintball will be buying some entry level stuff to get my foot in the door and need help. What lasts longer if shot the same. 1 65/4800 HK army aerolite tank OR 2 HK army 48/3000 tanks?
A rough way to know is a little math.You can multiple the tank size by either 10 for 3000psi or 15 for 4500psi. 68*15 = 1020 shots and 48*10 = 480 shots
Not only like the other comment said but between the 2 sizes you said which should've been 68/4500* and 48/3000, the first number is the volume of air the tank will hold followed by at what max pressure or the 2nd number. In the question you asked not only is the first tank bigger volume wise but also is able to be pressurized 50% more than the 2nd tank you listed. Last but definitely not least, not only will you get quite a bit more shots with the first tank but I also don't think I've ever seen the size of the 2nd tank made from anything other than a heavy metal like steel or maybe aluminum making them quite heavy. However the first tank you listed should be made of a much much lighter fiber composite material that makes a huge night and day difference to the weight and balance of your marker set-up!
Welp thinking about the virtue n-charge and a 9V rechargeable battery now. Right now still using the batteries that came with my marker and rotor but that would keep costs low over time.
Putting a slight amount of grease and I mean less then usual on a barrel might be better than smacking it on something so you don’t have a chance of bending the barrel

That barrel role scene KILLED ME man! 😂🤣
I heard he's still rollin' as I type this.
As a newbie these tips where so helpful, thanks man, keep making bomb vids
Ensure your barrel has an oring on it at the threaded end. It will help the barrel from becoming either stuck or rattling loose during play.
Really good one 👍

I remember the the drop forward day. Man was so glad with bottom mount with a 68ci tank on a dm5
Yo, thanks, i watched this litteraly the day before i went to do my first round of paintball ever!
What are is your best tip?
Bring an extra pair of socks. After a whole day of running and sliding your socks sure are contaminated with dirt and smell.
barrel roll forsure
When you have an open bag of paint that you want to save for the next time, put it in a ziplock some paper towel and if they come with a silica pack then use that too. Then suck the air out with a straw then keep it in a stable temp area. Had paint kept like this for like 6 months and was still as good as before.
Also if water is an option I always wash my barrel out, don't just squeegee. And clean your squeegee too
Clean your gear
13:59 OOOOh how I wish I thought of that or learned about it before buying a new hopper. That was the only reason I got it. Old one was loose.
Back in the early 2000’s you knew you were going to take at least 10 on your way out.

Years ago when I did play I was running snap shot drill with a buddy .....got him on the top of his foot.
