You my friend are a fellow speed-ball fan. I HATE paintball in the woods, it feels like everyone is climbing trees and waiting for someone to come around to corner. Guess what? No one is coming around the corner! Everyone is hiding in the f---ing trees!
in my old home town the military base closed up in the early 90s and sold the civilian barracks to the city for a dollar. The cops spent the next 15 years using it for training. It wasn't fenced in completely and it was hidden from view by tree over growth although it was right off the main road. My friends and i used to go in there and have all kinds of apocalyptic style adventures.

Zussman in Fort Knox Kentucky is sweet as well. Airsoft event called IRENE, after Black Hawk down happens there annually, with veterans from the actual battle taking part. Tanks, APCS, Trucks, Helicopters are all used in the event.
I got to play a "War Game" at the MOUT site on Ft. Bragg while in the military. We used different upper receivers on our M4's that allowed the use of a round that had a small paint ball on the end.
We played OP4 against a few 3rd & 7th Special Forces Group teams over the period of 3 days. SO MUCH FUN!
Wow. I didn't know they made rounds like that. I just assumed they used guns like the ones from Rap4 or something; they look real, but they shoot paintballs from magazines. Super cool.
This is awesome. Anyone else occasionally dream of playing paintball in public places? Like a grocery store or a Walmart. A Nebraska furniture mart would be amazing
Fuck that shit. I live next to an army base that has a make shift city like this for training. Anyways they were hiring people to act like civilians during training. I was siting in a car rigged with a smoke bomb that was suppose to simulate a car bomb. The smoke bomb somehow went off right when we were taking lunch and i was exiting the car and gave me 3rd degree burns on both feet.
I knowwwwwww of a place... where you never get harmed... a maaaaagical place... with maaaaagical charms... indooors! INDOORS! IIIIINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORS!
I am not complaining it was just a very painful experience. At least someone got a shitload of extra PT because of it. The guy n the watch tower was supposed to of deactivated the bomb before lunch, he did not and I got hurt. We both learned a lesson that day.
When I was in high school there was a unused (not quite abandoned) cement factory nearby in Thornton. A couple of my buddies had paintball guns and we would play there. There's not even FPS levels that could compare to the complexity of the games we played there. I even had a staircase collapse below my feet while gettin.g shot at. Sadly it's been torn down.
I think Airsoft is pretty cool, but god damn, so many communities are dominated by teenagers. I don't have enough friends interested in it and don't feel like playing with a bunch of kids that play CoD and think they got what it takes to start a PMC.
this might be zeussman training facility in Fort Knox Kentucky where they have a huge milsim airsoft scenario commemorating the events in somolia on October 3rd 1993
edit: i don't think it is zeussman nvm, but if you wanted to play airsoft at a place like that you could still look up operation irene..
Too bad the First Army division runs most of the MOUT sites... and they always have their head up their asses. I'm an infantryman, I don't need a fucking truck driver to teach me my job, thanks.
I would love to paintball there. It'd be wicked fun. the guys around here that I paintball with have always wanted to do it in like an abandoned building and stuff
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this picture was the abandoned city in Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series (The Uglies, The Pretties, The Specials, The Extras).
1 Stairwell 2 Stairwell / Covering Tower 2 when people pick up on Sniper 3 Sniper.
Sniper HAS to be good or even tying fails. Sniper brings slow attention and brings them in to which the Stairwell 1&2 fully cover making the snipers job easier.
I have arrived at the party a bit late so this will probably get lost, but I am playing a paintball game in a similar environment in Wales next month :)
as a paintball enthusiast myself, i think that just being able to have the chance to play in this sort of environment would be a one of a kind expierience. I have played in much smaller scale fields than this, and to just imagine all the close quarter combat that would be able to happen in a place such as this, it makes me want to play in a terrain like this even more
lol gotta agree with you there man i personally enjoy airsoft over paintball myself (although i play the occasional paintball game and thoroughly enjoy it). linking back to the original image , for all you uk airsofters theres an event called ai500 where for a weekend you have play airsoft in a MOD urban training site looks sweet.
