Came here for an event entitled Police Life 101. There wasn't a whole lot of pre-shootemup tactical training, but it was a really good time nonetheless.
We were split up into two groups. I spotted a couple of winners and sided with them on the blue team... and we proceeded to kick red team's ass all night. It was vicious and wonderful, even as I shot that one girl in the face over and over again when she wouldn't acknowledge that I got her in body shots... like going after a real life PCP addict with a gun!
Ya, I got hit in every game, and I felt like a bit of a loser for 15 seconds at a time as I was sent to the respond area... but the games were fun and interesting and it was well run. They say paintball hurts much more than these little plastic bullets, but I have a couple of minor booboos on my hands tonight, and I wear them with pride!
After the games were over, we shot some targets to waste our ammo, and retired into the lobby area... where I learned that 3 of my teammates had been in the military before tonight... I'm glad I can pick a winning team... or this review may have been very different!
I would take a point off for their not having cups for water, but I understand that they make money by selling gatorade and candy... I cupped my hands under the faucet and drank like a caveman... then went back into the arena to kill some imaginary aliens in the dark!
Quick tips: bring gloves because theirs are not washed. Wear a turtleneck or scarf to cover your neck (bare skin will sting a lot when struck), bring water, choose your team wisely!
Pros: You get to shoot fake guns and run around acting like Rambo
Cons: No cups for water when you're parched
