It was actually quite fun. Sounds fun! I went to a friend's Bachelor party paintball day about 10 years ago. I remember one of the scenarios being the Buck hunt... the last five minutes everyone switched to attacking just him... poor bastard had soooo many welts on his body that afternoon. Yeah, we pretty much did the same thing during the last game. He was smart and dressed in multiple layers, though, so welts were minimal. I, however, have a little red mark this morning on my throat  Ouch! Did you look up as you got hit? Or did it just come in from the side or sumpin'? The neck is one of the worst places to be hit. We're going to go paintballing on 11/11. Haven't done it in around 10 years. I'm sure the guns are much better these days. Taking the knee pads for sure! Most courses still use the Tippman 98 markers. They're reliable, easy to service, and hold their own. A remarkable marker considering how long it's been around. With practice you can get anywhere from 12 - 17 shots off per second. We had tippmans, not sure what model. No way you can get 12 shots persecond on a semi-auto...
I've been witness to 24/sec on a spider.
It's a technique thing to get <10/sec. I think my best was 16 on a Tippman.
Did your markers look like this:
They're the stock marker for most fields.
Serious folks get something with a 2 finger trigger that is electronically assisted. Though match-play requires them to be semi-auto, non assisted. You'd be amazed at the rate of fire a pro-am or a collegiate player can get with a bare bones semi-auto. Basically if you practice enough, you can go through unthinkable amounts of paint per minute.
