Paintball Barrels DON’T come in all shapes and sizes

Imagine getting home from school to see a brown cardboard box on your front porch with the return address of PaintBallOnline.com addressed to you.  Are you excited that new paintball barrel has come in?  You betcha!!  But an unexpected delivery made Connor blush in front of his mom.  At first, the 14 yr old kid even thought it some kind of joke.

“I don’t order enhancement pills or body oil or DVDs or anything, why would I?” said Connor Whelihan.

But that’s exactly what he got in the mail instead of a new barrel he had ordered for his paintball gun. “It wasn’t like I ordered a brush and got a comb. It was, he ordered a barrel for a paintball gun and got male enhancement stuff in the mail, so a 14-year-old kid,” said Debra Whelihan, Connor’s mother. Inside the package a DVD labeled “For Men Only,” boxes of Viagra and performance enhancing oils.

Connor insists that he will be getting a new barrel, but will order it from a different company.

“At first I guess it was embarrassing, things I was opening up in front of my mom and my brother was also standing right next to me,” said Connor. Connor ordered the barrel online from the site PaintBallOnline.com, which is believed to be based in Vancouver, Wash. The package seems completely legitimate — the Whelihan’s name and PaintBallOnline.com on the address label.

“There was no packing slip in the box. There were just these items and a bag with somebody else’s name on it,” said Debra. The name on that bag says “Ship To: Tokyo Nerimaku.”

“I got this and some guy in, what, Tokyo has my barrel,” said Connor.

Connor did get his money back. Debra said when they called the company; it didn’t take any responsibility or give an explanation for the mix-up.

Do you think the US govrnment should look into this?  Is this some kind of enhancement drug ring going on between Canada and the US?

 

Business Suits and Paintball

Was just wandering around the posts on Google + for paintball and came across this epic pic. (Thank you Rick Ramos). Looks like time for a caption contest, what should it say? Please comment below!!

Creative groomsman photos? Business Suits & Paintball guns

I’m trying to figure out the purpose of the picture? Are these the best men from a wedding party trying to create some kind of original photo?  If so…. it WORKS!! This rocks, most wedding photography is retarded, predictable, & boring.  What would make this photo 10x better?  If they were ambushed by guys in full paintball gear tearing them up and the guys just kept walking…. That would be awesome!!

Guys holding paintball guns for a wedding looks cool.  A bride lit up with colored paintballs…..not as cool.

A bride's wedding dress is brightly decorated with paintballs

I wander if the guys over at http://www.paintballphotography.com/ have ever thought of doing a photoshoot like this. It would create some interesting buzz around their image. Of course this might be a downgrade for them. They are the Offical Photographers for the World Chamption Russian Legion Paintball team and the Offical Photography sire of the NPPL and PSP Paintball Leauges.

Dont’ forget I want to see your recommended captions!!

Best slow motion Paintball video ever

Have you seen the recent paintball video on YouTube titled – Porter Robinson – Spitfire (Exclusive ‘Capture The Can’ Live Action Paintball Multiplayer) – BTW, Skrillex was wise to sign this Porter guy.  It’s almost a perfect paintball video from Machinima.com, besides one guy having no hopper on his gun at the 1 minute mark (of course he could still have up to 2 rounds even if his hopper had fallen off). My favorite moment is when the aggressive paintballer jumps over the trunk of the car and tags the guy hiding in the head with one shot.  Of course, the new track from Porter Robinson in the background would pump up anybody before a weekend match against their friends or long time rivals.

This is the whole purpose of 1000 fps video.  So you can slow down the video at the most interesting point and enjoy it in a whole new way. In fact, if Paintball action was really this intense this sport would be more popular than soccer or football combines….. OK, maybe not, we both know it’s a hell of alot more expensive.

Out of curiosity can anyone name all the gear they see in the video.  There is no doubt that Paintball Gear Canada has anything you see. In fact whenever you are looking for paintball guns, they should be the first guys that come to mind. Here’s a few pieces of gear I did recognize:

40 seconds – The guy who is sliding has a Empire AXE with the Empire Prophecy.

Anyone see a Viper Sniper Rifle in this video? Tell me where…

What’s up with the blue team having Tippman 98 Customs but still getting Powned? Red team seems to be using DYE equipment and killing them.

The most often seen comments (out of 2500) on this video were these:

1. What video card does my computer need to play this?
2. When is this coming out for Xbox 360/PS3/Wii?
3. This reminds me of the movie “Gamer”
4. Could somebody recreate this in Halo 3?
5. Man, if ONLY video games were this epic!
6. Cameraman is cheating, he must have GOD mode enabled.
7. 180 Quick Scope
8. obvious winner was La Pooch, la P00ch – (Travis Barker – Bad Ass Dog)
9. They need to make one for AirSoft like this
10. Boom-Headshot, BOOM-headshot, Boom-Headshot.
