Guns a Blazin’

Photos by Splatshots They set the duel for 4:30 PM, behind the Marshal’s office.   Two gunfighters stood thirty feet apart, hands behind their backs - on a stool in front of each of them, a pistol holding a single shot.   At the end of the count they would grab iron, turn, and blast.   Only one gunslinger was walking away – the other earned a quick trip to the bone orchard. ( Click here or here for a guide to 1860s American western slang.) In three seconds it was time to shoot, Luke, or give up the gun.   What brought these men to this spot?   Had one scooped the other in poker?   Maybe one got roostered up on the oh-be-joyful and nailed the other to the counter.   No, nothing as serious as that – this was the quick drawn competition at Line-of-Fire Paintball’s Wild West Theme Day! Line-of-Fire is a creative paintball field near Asheville, North Carolina.   Every couple of months they host a Theme Day, like a paintball scenario only condensed to 6 hours.   They go all out

The Wasteland . . . . . . . . .

Image
As we approach the End of Days, the world is split into two factions: Alphas and Omegas, each vying for items to survive.   When given release, we run into the Wasteland looking for items for our leader while trying to keep the other faction at bay.   In this post-apocalyptic world, as it is now, there is one thing that universally helps one acquire items: gold.   Instead of looking for gold, we set about doing our duty: causing destruction and wreaking havoc. This game, produced by MPP Games’ own BenTorricelli at Bearclaw Paintball in Fayetteville, TN, was a different direction then any of his previous games.   Instead of missions, the generals were to hunt out items on the field and either turn them in for points, barter them with the other team, or trade them in at the Bartertown for specials (such as tanks, medics, demolitions).   The gods of paintball blessed us with beautiful weather for both playing and merriment afterwards.   We had an awesome time between playi

All Roads Lead to No Ends

Image
By Jason ' Foolybear' Photos by Matt “ColMustard” Leonard and Dwayne Humphries Once again February rolls around and paintballers drive to Adventure Beach for their annual scenario throwdown, the Road to No Ends.   This year Kevin Shimwell set up a classic confrontation, selling the game as Eclipse vs. Dye.   Hambo, from Dye-sponsored WCP , faced off against Ripper, from Eclipse-sponsored SSK .   The lure of a hot game on one of the best fields drew record numbers to this year’s event, and the way the scenario played out will probably set Adventure Beach up for another record-breaker in 2015.   Spoiler – Eclipse won, and the game was intense from start to finish! The game’s storyline pulls in some classic fantasy elements, but the scenario itself plays out as pure paintball action.   Both sides, The Hidden (Dye team) and The Knowing (Eclipse team), fight for bases, missions, and props.   The Hidden recruited a tank from Team ODX, and the Knowing countered with thei
