10 Things You Don’t Want To Hear When…
We’ve all been in that walk-on game when all your teammates are in their pre-teens or younger, and are asking in rather shaky voices, questions that would have been better answered before the game countdown had begun. Too late you try and give them some last second advice only to be shot off the break yourself, because you weren’t ready.
Here are ten things guaranteed to make you shake your head and knock on wood in the hopes that you will never hear them yourself.
10. Do paintballs hurt?
9. Does this *indicates starting box* count as a bunker?
8. *peering into a hopper* Twenty paintballs is enough to kill somebody, right?
7. Do gun hits count?
6. Where am I going again? Wait, where’s the back left?
5. When do we shoot?
4. I’m gonna shoot straight up in the air to try and arc it to kill them, is that okay?
3. Can I be the sniper?
2. If he gets to be the sniper, what am I?
1. Did you say to look out for snakes on the field?

“Can I follow you? You look like you’re good.”
“Are you like ex-military or something?”
“Can we take the thingie off the front yet?”
or my favorite, not a question but I always wonder.
“Mah gat is gonna POWN these dudes!” I call these guys grenades. When it all goes down, they go to pieces so fast that teammates are wounded by the shrapnel.

Nice list… I think everyone has had that experience before. As frustrating as it can be on the field, I find that sometimes I have to step back and realize that everyone asked those questions at one time or another.
