Ep 9 Circus Shots, out of the air

A requested show on two fronts. "csskiller" asked "Make a video of you demonstrating/teaching us how to throw a paintball in the air and shooting it." AND I got a question in video form (I can't find your video! Sorry!) asking what would happen if two paintballs collided in mid air. So, we'll show you both at one time.

Filmed at CMP Paintball near Milwaukee, WI! http://www.cmpaintball.com/ for more info on this field!

the gun is an AGD Tac-1, using a warp feed and an old school revvy loader. And because someone will ask, 2 takes. The FIRST take my hits glanced off the balls in the air, and didn't make good video. And no, it's not "shopped" or "CG'd", if I could afford that technology I would be playing paintball more often.

This was a show request! If you have a show request, have a comment about this show, or like what you see, feel free to rate / comment! This is an interactive forum, and we can't do this without you!

It's more fun when you do it with a pump, and pump the gun after you toss the ball up...

If people think highly of pumpers, they go ballistic if you can do this!

But it's just, as Tyger put it, a neat party trick and if you actually practice it enough to nail it on every try, then you better be damn good at doing every other skill paintball requires...

good job tyger!

another cool video would mabey get a camera and do some game action?

once i was playing at camp pendleton paintball, their tourny park, and i was right, laning to the back left, my friend was on the left, shooting at the snake, my paint colided with his paint and made a nice soup in the air for a couple secs, it was hilarious

Actually it does happen when your shooting at a guy in back left quaderant of the field there is a guy in the back right quaderant of the field and you can try to do this in the 50 area of the field

slightly off-topic: I had only 2 awesome hits in my life (both by luck and completely unintended).

1. Playing soccer in school I kicked the ball from over 20 meter distance in a basketball basket.

2. Playing pool / billiard years later I let the ball jump over a group of balls to hit a ball behind them. I hit the ball strange somehow, it FLEW over to the side and fell into a hole. Too bad no one was recording this 'cause WE HAD A CAMERA WITH US.

I wouldn't argue that it's a completely useless skill, it does help you learn how to track a small moving target. But pretty much any other drill that you can do would work just as well if not better.

Plus it's a great way to weasel a beer or two from gullible ballers. And that's always useful.

ollie lang made a video about it. thats why he wants it

[Cavdragoneb12]

Yeah, I'll probablty try it between games when I need to re-air. But that will be if I'm playing with the Ghost and even then I'd more likely run 4oz in this weather.

I'll be most likely out with my T2 for the first time. I'll keep it in mind, though.

This happened to me 1 time in 11 years of playing, it was actually in a one on one game of pump vs my brother, and we both snap shot and they hit eachother almost exactly in the center between my self and him.

Let me emphasize it was completly unintentional, and we couldn't do it again if we tried (with pumps) but it was very awesome none the less!

Wouldn't have effected any part of the game neither shot would have eliminated us, it was just very very cool to experience!

I will probably end up trying it as well with my Phantom. That is if I remember to do it, the only bad problem is you only get one shot at doing the whole thing right.
