	Actually, depends on what team you're thinking of.  In 86-87, the
	lineup was Maxwell, Moten, Montgomery (the M&M boyz), Pat

companies aren't serial numbered! Lighten up, people. I would
be willing to bet a nice sum that a very small few, if ANY, of
the companies manufacturing silencers for paintball guns actually
have permits or have even looked into getting one.  For Christ's

We used to end days with standoffs--this was purely up to those
who wanted to; very few people actually played it; it was fun to
watch.  The rules were very simple; two people, fixed amount of paint,
(usually 10 or 20 rds), about 50 feet apart, give or take 25 feet.

You both start shooting, and keep shooting until one or the other person
is out of paint, at which point you BOTH stop shooting.  The person
with the most amount of paint on them loses.  We played in an open
field.

I thought it was a blast.  It also cured me of flinching when I am
hit (an asset on those bouncers) and when under a hail-storm of
paint.  Not for the light-hearted, but simply standing through the
experience made me feel giddy.

Dumb game #2: A particulary dumb person enters the game as a zombie;
they are required to ham it up fully (moaning, teeth gnashing, no
running, walk right up to the person tactics), and they can take people
out by either touching them or shooting them.  It takes a special
kind of dumb person to do this right.  Of course the zombie can't die.

Please note--these were games among a group of friends who had
played together 50+ times.

Now I can look at people right in the eye and tell them with a straight face 
that I always knew paintball was a "clean" sport.  Guess there's more than one
way to "clean" up professional paintball  (^-^)
And as for not smelling like a forest, for the last game we could have everyone
switch to Pot-Pouri or Pine oil scented paintballs to restore nature.

I have talked with them and they said they werre working on a paintball
with a plastic biodegradable shell.  This gives them the ability to
make as perfect a paintball, because the shell will be the same thickness
and size in each case.  The shell will supposedly biodegrade from sunlight.

 How about adding a couple of things to each field's listing, such as:

 - HIGHLIGHTS:  A brief description of any outstanding features (mazes, towers,
                boats, number of fields, etc.).

 - EVENTS:  A list of any special events (24-hour, night, or mission games.

 	Honestly, I think it is downright foolish for anyone to
worry about the FFL's laws on paintball silencers. What are they 
going to do? Send special agents after you and arrest you???
NOT!!! In a previous posting by Jim Foster, he writes that his
field will not let you play with homemade silencers. This has 
got to be the most absurd thing that I've heard in a while. For
one thing, I usually prefer to use my homemade silencer. How are
they going to tell that it's homemade? (ask to see a receipt, maybe?)
On my phantom, I find that my homemade silencer works far better than
my HASTINGS brand commercial model, and it sure doesn't appear
homemade. They are really very simple to construct, and as long
as you do a decent job, they'll never have to know that you
didn't buy it!  All I used to build mine was few small pieces
of PVC pipe, and some misc. fittings from the plumbing supply
house. With a little bit of lathe work, and a can of that
pvc glue, they're simple!

I don't know when it's supposed to be available.   It's reportedly going
to have a plastic shell that is biodegradeable by sunlight.  I just want the
99% consistent roundness for phenomenal accuracy.........

I got my 8" crown point shorty in the mail and shot about 80 rounds....
it shoots REAL nice.   It does give off a metallic ping sound at each
shot due to the crown point machining.  An Automag with a remote setup,
30mm ultra dot, Lapco combat grips, power feed, and this 8" barrel LOOKS
and shoots great.

 I've played a similar game we called alien.  Usally one player would
 volunteer to be the alien, but 2 or 3 would work with a large group
 of players.  The alien wears as much protection as possible.  This
 is because like the zombie, it can't die (head shots are highly
 discouraged).  It also tucks a small flag or rag under it's belt
 just like flag football.  The alien is allowed a head start to get
 away or to set up an ambush.  The rules are that the players hunt
 the alien (or is it the other way around!).  If a player is shot
 (oh yeah, the alien is well armed) he is out.  The alien can take
 as many hits as it can stand.  A player can only kill the alien by
 pulling the flag from its's belt.  This game is fast paced if the
 group is agressive.  It also tends to weed out the wimps because
 in order to kill the alien, you have to get close enough to grap
 the flag...OUCH!

I was speaking to the folks at Air Gun Designs re barrel lengths
and discovered that they (or someone they are very closely
associated with) will be coming out with a new (revolutionary if
it does what they say) type of paintball.  It will be 99% round and
will NOT be affected by moisture.  They advertise it in the bottom
of a fish bowl.  
Regarding barrel length, they felt is was not all that critical.
I ended up getting the 8" crown point shorty for my automag.  They
felt that the roundness of the paint was the most critical factor
in accuracy.  Incidentally, this guy had 16 different barrels that
he tried out/played with, and his 2 favorite ate the CP shorty and 
the 12 inch Smart Parts (which are the same ones I happen to have!!!!!)
