I get tickled thinking about a bunch of keyed up adults, showing off their new toys on the drive and POW! After the first paintball goes off, and everyone’s had a nice laugh, and the adrenaline starts to sour in their bloodstreams… then the second shot, then the mayhem.

Pretty much every “accidental” skirmish starts with an oops. Some have said the American Revolution between the States and Britain was just some green kid with a rifle having a moment of the jitters that went Very wrong.
One shot and nobody’s Really sure it Was an accident and then off they go… Murder and mayhem. Or in this case, paintball and mayhem.
Hmmm methinks Hubris is gonna have to invent a paintball gun that shoots barrel plugs!
That didn’t go so well eh?
Five year old 35 year olds keyed up worse than 4:30 am Christmas morning. What else would you have expected. Had I been the transport company I would have put a clamshell on the roof and made every single weapon be ‘secured’ before the rider could get in.
Maybe they should have chose laser tag. But that’s not outdoors, so Hubie wouldn’t do it. Besides, it legend that bankers have thick skins (like flint?), so all should be well.
When WOW went belly up because they targeted the wrong market (too young and stuff too expensive) I and a lot of other adult friends snapped a bunch of that stuff up. We played outdoors, you bet we did. Before the days of ‘mazes’ and ‘halls’. In, out, parks, the downtown skyway (we usually made arrangements well in advance, clearly marked public zones as you were entering a game zone and people were carrying weapons (and a good drawing of one of us holding a rifle and a handgun, with the wrist, arm, and headbands we wore to identify ourselves). We also warned the city’s finest. Being responsible, being safe, and warning those that might get crazy (the Saturday that we used the skyway, one hall was in plain sight of the downtown Police Dept, and they put up a window sign saying WE KNOW to try to cut the citizen calls (last time we used that venue but it was fun) Laser tag is harder because it’s not visible, and until and if someone hits your chest sensor, you don’t know where they’re at, even then it can be hard to guess.
and the fun begins now. separate line for those who want to get swindled by paste
