    Paintball accident

    Hello all! Long time no post but im back now

    Was paintballing this weekend in a tournament (Sup-Air and not in the woods)over near Grantham with my team and had a bit of an accident

    I was diving into a bunker in about the 3rd game of the day after running full tilt at it, mistimed my dive and subsequently the barrel dug right into the ground. Not only this but the High Pressure Air bottle on the back (which was lodged into my shoulder) rode up into my neck as i fell on the gun.

    Fortunately for me my wrist and neck shared the brunt of the shock and I didn't break either (people have done this before and broken collar bones, wrists clavicals etc etc). After being on the ground for about a minute shocked I managed to get up with the help of the marshalls to the sight of my lovely expensive gun.....

    Before



    After



    As you can see the barrel bent and the 90 degree grip is now more like a 110 degree frame

    My credit card came into save the day though and I now have a suitable replacement



    So alls happy in the end (even if my bank balance isn't )

    Take it to the fairground, there's plenty of stalls using similar barrels.
