The last few days have been extremely rough for me. I'm not going to get into why, just know that ive been upset, stressed, all around crapola.
As some of you know i have had a really junky paintball gun for a few months, but never got to play a REAL game. Well my gun is from walmart its a brass eagle pump one, i got it as a gift.
The other day, sunday, my buddy will bought a semi-auto paintball gun on the condition that i agreed to play. Well this inspired a few friends to buy up guns, all semi-auto's.
So we go out to the field, i turn my cell off (which was hard for me because i was waiting on my problem to call me) and we load up the hopper's (paintball gun's container). Mine holds bout 20 paintballs so im like crap. I throw a few lil Co2 cartridges in my pocket, and a nut-driver because i need to loosen the hoseclamp holding my gun together before i can change the co2.
The horn blows, we all dive right in. I dont think i have ever been hit by so many paintballs before, and crap it hurt. Now, paintball isnt a painful sport, but im out there in shorts and a tee shirt, and i come to find out my one friend didnt tune his Rebel gun and was pushing 310FPS....and thats painful, we were told to tune em down to 300. I didnt have too, i was pushing 215.....
So anyway i got my ass kicked, but its the only thing that has releaved my stress. Well, we are supposed to have a HUGE game saturday, but i have a problem. My guns broke, the Co2 finished off the cracks.
The new semi auto i can get is 54.00. Then add in the air tank (24oz) that i can get for 25, the 500 paintballs for 15.00, the helmet for 30.00, and the laser pointer fromt he dollar store, 1.99, and were talking a total cost of....
drum roll please....
126.00!! I have 20.00 in my pocket. I owe my dad 200.00 but im going to beg him for the money, i need to play. Not only is it really fun, but its really helping me take my mind somewhere else, and i get to hang with friends.
Heres hoping i can get the money...
