$30 worth of win

On the fishing trip, one of the goals is to actually, finally, catch some damn fish. Since it's mid-July, the best fishing times will probably be early in the morning, while it's still cool, and in the evening (maybe even at night). This leaves a lot of play time during the day. I've passed this idea by a number of people already, now its time to open it up to everyone.

Paintball. Capture The Freaking Flag.

We're camping on an island. We're on the small island, because the big island is occupied Friday and Saturday nights. We're probably getting there Wednesday.

Multi-island, amphibious capture the freaking flag.

So full of win it leaves quarter-sized welts.

$30 at Walmart, takes 12 gram co2 cartridges, .68 caliber paint balls. Pump action,very cool. The walls of my garage are fairly well splattered with orange now. Seems like these are more or less equivalent:

This model looks to be fairly equivalent, and can be had for $25 at that link, or at Sports Authority, or any of the similar stores.

I intend to pick up a few to have around, but I probably won't be looking to pick up 10. I'll have some around that indigents can use (assuming not everyone is indigent), or if you have your own paint ball equipment, that's great, too.

This doesn't come with anything like goggles or a mask. Those would be well worth picking up, but I intend to have several sets of safety glasses. If you want to come back and not have any major facial injuries, yea, get a mask.

So, I guess this is the thing -- I'm willing to pick up, say (exclusive of my own):

• 3 guns
• 4 safety glasses
• 12 co2 cylinders (at least) -- should be more than enough
• 1000 rounds of paint (at least) -- should be more than enough for everyone, these are pump-action guns, we won't be able to shoot that many rounds.

I'd like if others who are willing to pick up equipment would chime in with what they'll get, even if that's just "I'll get my own". Like I said, I'll plan to have some extra available, my hope is that one or more others will do the same to help balance the cost out a bit. Anyone who wants to grab their own equipment is awesome, as well.
