Commander Harris Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 just don't take your mask off lest you repeat this great moment in TV history:p in all seriousness, it's a good lark. don't quite know if it's worth the money to be honest but good for a laugh.

lookoutjoe Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Wear lots of loose layers. It hurts. Nonsense. It only stings a little bit. Unless you get hit on the knuckle. That really hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nonsense. It only stings a little bit. Unless you get hit on the knuckle. That really hurts. Or the inside of the thigh. Or the cheek, or the end of your toes. Or the top of your head. Or the back of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Went a few weeks ago. Great laugh but expensive! You get about 7 or 8 games all in different settings, they give you 50 balls to start and they run out in about 5 minutes. Then you go the shop for more and its about a tenner for 100. You use them quickly and its another tenner and so on. It ****ing hurts if yo get hit from a close range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Root Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Choose your targets, it's better twatting someone 3x than shooting 30 off and getting nowt. Watch out for the kids too, little *******s seem to have hundreds to spend on balls and fire them all off in around the first minute of every game. Good thing though is you can shoot them back when they are defenceless too And another thing, if they play with the old "one hit and your out rule" don't fall for it, you're only there for a day and standing on the sidelines after being hit 20secs in is pointless. Brush yerself down and remember the mantra "the ball never burst, this was from the game before" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I got told a story about a chap who shot his mate from close range when he was bent over and ruptured his testicle. Have fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Last time I went there was a game when someone had to be the medic. The role of the medic was to save everyone else, after they would shot they screamed 'MEDIIIIIIIIIIC' and the medic had to go and touch them to bring them back into the game. The only way to kill the medic was to hit him/her on the head. I volunteered. It hurt. But it was the best fun I had all day. The bruises die down fairly quickly. I was covered in them but the next day they were pretty much gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 it is a great laugh and you end up running around feeling like rambo. use your pellets carefully and don't just panic and unleash the lot or you will spend a fortune. i like to go off on my own and sneak about like a sniper from the undergrowth. it is great shooting someone who has no idea where it came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Everyone cheated when I was there. I remember being hit on the toe once. That was pretty sore. And if they're not looking, it's always funny to shoot the marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 If you wear a hooded top you will be fine. You don't want to be to hot because the goggles steam up after about a second and you can't see a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest juvehearts Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 we weont to the one at south queensferry. dont know if that was bedlam. the balls are expensive there like someone said ?10 for 100 or so & theyre gone within 1 game if youre not careful. 8 games ?10 for a round of 100 = ?80, plus the entrance fee & that looking at an easy ?100. its a good laugh IF you get the right people to come along. youre there all day so i siggest a few beers to take with you & wrap up warm. finally dont be a woose, get out there on the front line & take the pain otherwise whats the point in going?!

Randle P McMurphy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 They do a Dunkirk landings type thing at the end make sure you are on the defending team as you get absolutely slaughtered crossing the bridge if you are attacking. Yes it does hurt especially if you get shot 15 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
