Raining is bad for paintball...

...your pellets get all soft and sticky, your shots are not consistent, your mask fogs up, the field gets muddy and slippery, and lorries get stuck...


Yup, rain brings trouble when you're paintballing. Last week the field was muddy all over due to several days of rain. In the morning around 10, the lorry that delivers the gas canisters got stuck in the mud. From the morning until the evening, they tried all sorts of ways to get it unstuck - sticking wooden planks under the tire, unloading the canisters to lighten the lorry, pulling the lorry with a 4x4, and then with a bigger lorry - all in vain.

The ground was so soft, the lorry left a 'longkang' of
muddy water wherever it passes...


Finally they had to call in a tractor to pull it out from the mud. Apparently the situation was a serious one for them, cause even their 'boss' (the one with the tie) came along with the tractor to have a look.

"I'm wearing a tie, I have to walk yeng-ly..."

Those lorry drivers are really not environmental friendly. During the long wait for the tractor, they left the engine running for a few hours!! OMG, petrol price now really cheap meh? Tsk tsk tsk...

All the mud, laundry time is going to be tiring...
