So to get people out to play and have fun lets share some tips and tricks.
1. Fogged masks sucks. Being stuck in the woods with paint flying and your completely blind. I use anti-perspirant on my face then i rub dish soap on my glasses and mask lens then rub it clear with a micro-fiber cloth. Then let the foam dry out at lunch when I'm at the field all day. |

I spent 29.99 on my Proto EL mask and it works fine. The soap trick is good for any type of mask.
Here is another tip. Always carry a sqeegee. They are inexpensive and invaluable. Also, having a basic understanding of how your gun works and how to clean it can save a lot of headaches when the marker stops working. Edited by Hunter - Jun/16/2011 at 8:05am |

Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.

I had a proto mask as well, it worked fine as long as i had a fan running, other than that it pretty much sucked. I never tried the soap trick

Another tip. Find young people that want to be on your team, and convince them that helping you carry all your heavy sh*t will further their "career" within the Team. This shows that you are creative and charismatic and will give you the power to make others act as lemming meat-shields by running in front of you when you attack an objective. Class Dismissed

Get some good waterproof boots. And if you want to protect your junk get a cup. |

Has anyone tried to Rain-X your barrel? I heard that it makes cleaning paint easier on the field.

From what I have read put some Rain-X on a barrel swab then run it though your barrel. Than you let it dry for a few minutes then buff it out with the dry side of the swab. Paint is supposed to bead up and slide out of your barrel like rain off your windshield.

Avoiding Friendly Fire 101:
Armbands: Red on right, blue on left. That way your team can identifiy you even if only half your body is showing.
Uniform: Don't wear a red jersey if your team is blue... and vice versa... just sayin'... Edited by Hades - Jun/20/2011 at 12:00am |

 and if you can afford it get yourself a spare marker so if your main gun goes down you can grab the backup and keep playing

Don't try customizing your marker if you don't even know how it works. I watched one guy with a full AK-47 kit on his marker screw on his CO2 tank and the gun started spraying gas out everywhere. I asked him if he used any Teflon tape or thread locker and he didn't know what that was.

Heat and humidity will destroy paintballs. Bring a cooler to keep your extra paintball in they will last longer and be a more consistent size.
