Everyone makes mistakes as a newbie paintballer, but some missteps are more forgivable than others. Would you rather go down fighting in a blaze of glory or running away like a yellow-bellied coward? In order to excel in paintball, you must demonstrate a certain level of fearlessness; you can’t be victorious without taking a few risks, and being hit with paintballs doesn’t hurt all that much.

When you’re pinned down behind a tree or a brush pile, focus on finding ways to move forward. If you’re not encroaching into enemy territory, you’re rocking back on your heels and displaying vulnerability. On the other hand, if you stay moving, you will be more likely to escape capture. Don’t give your enemies the satisfaction of shooting you at point-blank range. Lob a few paintball grenades their way and keep moving.

    I was deep in the middle of a woodsball match at Liberty Paintball-NY with two of my teammates, Paul Damiano and Brendan Smith.  During this one match in a place on the field called “ The Crypt,” I was almost certain that I heard and saw a flashbang grenade go off on the opposite side of the field.  It made an extraordinarily bright white flash, along with a loud bang sort of sound.  There was a staff member reffing the game who was standing about 30 feet away from me who immediately began freaking out and then ran through the crossfire of the two teams to get over to the other side of te field and find out if a flashbang actually just went off.

     Flashbangs are grenades meant to stun and disorient their victims by use of the flash or bright light and loud blast.  Although this firecracker-like explosive sounds very dangerous, it does not contain any incendiaries or shrapnel, so it is not deadly.  But the main point of a flashbang grenade is to temporarily deafen and blind the enemy, so consequently, they are almost completely banned from the sport of competitive paintball, in the woods, and in speedball courses.  I guess the powers that be who decide what’s right and what’s wrong in paintball feel this type of gear isn’t fair for whatever reason.

When it comes to paintball war games, strategy is king. All players have access to the same selection of guns and equipment; the cerebral aspects of the game set the elite players apart. One of keys to planning for a paintball match is positioning your men according to the weaponry they are carrying.

For a good formula, look to old military strategies that were employed when two opposing armies used to meet head-to-head on the battlefield. Typically it was the foot soldiers wielding small arms that were in the front ranks. Your heavy and long-range artillery, such as paintball grenade launchers, should be positioned in the rear, as they will be protected and still have the range necessary to attack.
