Ah…. ok. We went for paintball yet again. This afternoon. Kinda bit addicted. This time really 7 of us in the field, shooting like there’s no tomorrow. We’ll go again soon… for the jungle terrain assault. LiEw was interested but sadly I didn’t inform him earlier and he was not free this afternoon.

Now, after watching numerous war films… from Saving Private Ryan to Band of Brothers to Thin Red Line to Enemy at the Gates to Saints and Soldiers (just to name a few)…. I now know what its like in the battlefield when it scared the shit out of you. In the films, we would see some soldiers like lost in his own world and dreaming and was so afraid and was like having a mental disorder. I now know why. Although it is just a paintball game, confronting an enemy (opponent) needs very big guts. And tactical skills is very important. You need the teamwork of everyone. Although you may say… “ai yah, its only just a paintball game, kena shoot, so what?”, getting a shot is like no restart in real life.

I now know that actually I’m so scared of heavy crossfire. I would be hiding somewhere camping and hoping to get some dead chicken. I would never make a good soldier. Perhaps I need some military training. Being a soldier in the battlefield is never an easy feat. I think it is a fact.

The most crucial safety device of the entire game. Face mask save your eyes from being blinded by accidental headshots.
The marker. Paint marker. In normal speak, it is the fucking gun that you use to shoot your foes…. and friends (like what MC did. He shot Johnson, his team mate in the assault)
Safety plug of the marker. When the game is over, you MUST plug the barrel. You don’t want accident(s) to happen.

NOS ? Nope. Its filled with CO2 to project the pellets (bullet).

Cooling off.

Fuck. I got a headshot.
