The Top 4 Worst Moments in Paintball

We've all had them, and chances are, will have them again. These are the moments in paintball we dread, they keep us from our hour of glory, and make us question "why? Why THEN, why ME, Why!?"

1. You make a miraculous move and get to an advantage point, the other team is ready for the taking, unaware you are about to waste them. You take a deep breath, exhale and come out from behind your cover ready to waste everyone in sight, only to break a paintball in your barrel turning it into a salad shooter. The worst part is... your teammates aren't there to help, and now the entire enemy team knows your position.

2. You go lone wolf and sneak up behind the enemy team.  Unsuspecting and just within your grasp you move a little closer to guarantee you don't miss.  Just as you are getting close, either you make too much noise or someone's 6th sense goes off.  You get blasted.

3. You slide after a big move, only to break paintballs in your hopper or something awesome on your paintball gun.  You lose focus on the game because lets face it, you lost money.  Pissed vaguely describes how you feel.  You wish you never dove in the first place.

4. Your entire team gets eliminated, leaving you alone against a full enemy team.  Your bunker is getting wasted, I mean wasted, leaving you stuck behind it.  The sheer excitement of the other team causes a race to get the last one out.  You.  It ends in a massive drive by.

You know you are really having a bad day if all 4 instances happen.  If they do, just set down your gun and try to think of all the times you've been on the giving end.  After all, they don't happen that often... unless you suck.
