In this paintball comic strip, our intrepid hero, Jamma, finally gets the new paintball gun of his dreams. He scrimped and saved his pennies, to buy the ultimate paint hosing machine, knowing that it would make him unstoppable.
Unlike Jamma I bought my first paintball marker weeks before I ever played the game. I had not even heard of paintball until I stumbled across that Nel Spot 007 (Which I still have) in the Army Surplus store. I bought it, a few 12 grams and a bag of 100 balls (Which was A Lot of paint back then).
When I finally got to play the game, I felt like Jamma with his fluffy Bunny Pump master. Everyone at the field had Phantoms and Worr Game Snipers, a few even had Tippman 68 specials (SEMI AUTO WOW). I only played a few times with the Nel Spot before I bought a phantom with a 6 pack rapid 12 gram changer. I then bought a high capacity 45 round hopper… Man I could shoot all DAY!
It is funny to look back now at the progression of the technology through the game. In 1994 I bought a Bob Long Autococker, it was my super gun. I loved that gun, named it Penelope. I thought it would make me a great player. But as we all know I already was… Actually what we all know is that the player not the gun determines how good you are, the Man not the Marker.
