I used to play every weekend a few years back. When I moved, I had to stop. Now ive been back but work and school got in the way. Finally going back tomorrow. This is my gun.... Tippmann US Army Alpha Black with electronic hopper and rifled barrel. Hope it goes well.

I started playing when it was getting big back in the early 2000's and a bit in highschool. I still have my tippman 98 custom with a collapsible stock and a flatline barrel.

Used to play pretty competitively back in middle school(now in my late 20s) and every year I still bust out my old autococker(the name still doesn't sound right 10+ years later) and reminisce about all the fun I had. Even though I don't really have a need to play I still appreciate the intricacies of the gun itself and think about some of my more interesting in-game experiences.
I still have my gmail account based on my other gun(defiant) as well too.

I played tournaments back in the autococker days as well. I still have my beautiful Karnivor and turned my '04 Prostock into a pump gun. I've gone a few times in the past few years, mostly taking my girlfriend's little brother out. Not like the old days. I miss it

I was super into it for about 2-3 years in the mid-late 90's. I ran a tricked out Spyder with a Dye 16" barrel, multi-stage expansion chamber, and upgraded bolt. At that time Tippmann was a bottom tier gun, but they were indestructible, so all the fields around used them as rental guns. Most of us who had our own guns had Spyders. Some of us, especially the kids with rich parents, had Automags. A few ran Autocockers. And there was always one or two guys who showed up with Angels. I don't even know if any of this stuff exists anymore.
When I was in the Navy, stationed in South Carolina, I got back into it for a while because we had a really awesome spot to play down there. This was back in 2004-5. I had sold all my gear when I was in high school, so I had to start again. The Tippmans had come a long way, so I started running an A-5, with the cyclone feeder, and the flatline barrel. It was awesome because it could really reach out and touch people from distances I never thought possible. After I left SC, I had nowhere to play so I ended up selling all my gear again, and haven't done it since.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed your paintball history lesson. Best of luck tomorrow.

Sounds like you did enjoy it!
Rentals are all like base model Tippmanns at this point. The higher ups all use Spyders now (usually converted to automatic which scares the Hell out of anyone you are playing with)
We have a really nice field here which is in the woods full of nature and a few wooden structures.
Therifled barrel on mine gives this gun a scary amount of range which along with running compressed air over CO2 makes things even more fun.
If I. Have a good time I'm gonna try and make it a weekly thing.Sucks it's so pricey though.
