Regarding your mounting such on a trophy wall, and besides being quite a conversation piece (both ways),...such would also give new meaning to the hunting expression of: "What-a-nice-rack". Don't you think? Hell, you don't even need a license (Fish or Game) either.

I don't agree with this...granted paintball is a sport, but it's not meant to be played in this manner.

Many of us who play are sickened by this. We offer it as a sport with scenarios and we push the point that it helps with leadership qualities and promotes teamwork.

Some of us, former vets, have even found paintball to be a "sort-of" return to some of our combat training, which was fun.

I really hope that no one here in this board supports or condones this kind of behavior.

We are avid "ballers" here and we even have our own group:
http://www.geocities.com/evanchance/bcpb.html : here in South Alabama.

From terrorists using paintball as a training ground, to kids in LA shooting innocent folks to idiots in Las Vegas hunting women, this really puts a bad light on those of us, 7.1 million players to be exact in the US, Canada, and Europe, who play this SPORT as just that, a sport. The Bambi Hunts are not a sport...it's a few idiots with airguns trying to make a buck by exploiting our sport by using nude women as game. What a shame.

My two cents are free...
