My experience with paintball

(If you are new to paintball, you may want to read this introduction to get some background info.)

My first encounter with paintball was in May 1996. I'd just discovered that a new army surplus shop across the street from where I lived was into paintball equipment as well as all the usual stuff. I hired everything I needed and headed out to find the place I was adviced to go. The people I met there really surprised me with their helpfulness as I was taught the basics of paintball. It didn't take more than 5 minutes of the first game before I realized that paintball was my kind of thing (guess some people never grow up, eh?)

Spyder..not the best marker, but excellent value for money.

The paintball scene in Trondheim

The scene in Trondheim is not very well organized. There are a couple of loosely organized teams, but most players don't belong to any team at all. At least not in any other way than the formal (to get discounts on equipment and paint). Despite the fact that there must be at least 50-100 people having their own equipment, I've never seen more than 25-30 playing at the same time.

There's a lot of paintball resources available online. A few that I find especially valuable are:
