I was there working for trademygun. From the vendor side of things, we were blown away. The staff always made sure we had a trash bag or if we needed anything and when it rained, they came by and squeegeed off the turf for us and put back the tots we had. And usually we here people complain about the event at nxls. We heard none of it from the players at this event

[@MattTheGymRat]

That's amazing. That really says alot about Chris and the other organizers.

[@eligreer2636]

My first time going paintballing was like two months ago now it is addictive matt just makes everything more fun I'm not scared to get hit by the paint anymore

Love to hear that! Glad you're having fun playing paintball dude 💪

I played bunkerfest 2005 and it was a fantastic tournament then. They did a North Texas vs South Texas exhibition game that was a lot of fun to watch. Glad to see it's still going strong, and glad to see you enjoyed it!

[@MattTheGymRat]

The history is intresting! I had no clue it was an event before 2021. This is the first year it has a full series instead of a 1 off event since Chris started it back up in 2021.

[@n00601482]

​@@MattTheGymRat I walked away from the sport in 2006 until recently so I am definitely missing most of the history myself. Logo looks the same. I want to say it had 100+ teams, but it was a standard 5 man tournament back then on the old 100 point scoring system

At least you didn't have broken paint in your hopper, asa off, marker off, hopper off. Hope Bunkerfest was still fun.

[@thepaintballlounge6518]

We actually piggyback the stream and going to do the whole series. Both the main field and young guns. Bunkerfest is an awesome time and an amazing event to play. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@MattTheGymRat]

It was a good time and it made for a great video

[@djonespaintball]

Proedge is a houston based team and they are at my field often and we play them regularly. Damn good team. Good win

Aye! Got to play against the homies then! It was a good match 💪

[@inthepitspaintballpodcast]

Excellent video. Great to see you at this event! Was wondering what you thought about how we do it here in Texas

[@MattTheGymRat]

I enjoyed it man. The field is definitely nicer than any in the carolinas. Besides that it was the biggest regional tournament I had been to. Competition was solid too!

Man I love watching your videos but I’m just too scared to actually start doing paintball

[@jesskennison3094]

Since the angles and autocockers

[@MrBlonde88]

This layout was hard for everyone to get out wide. A lot of waiting and just hoping someone got bored and tried to make a move.

[@MattTheGymRat]

Yeah I was not a fan of it but it was very rewarding once you were able to get out wide.

[@ryanhilse8100]

What gun are you using for this tournament, because your showing how it's done!

[@MattTheGymRat]

CS2. But it not the gun doing the work 💪

@@MattTheGymRat Them bunkers do be putting in work and thanks for letting me have a good one!

[@moisespenguin9937]

Hey do you know what would be a good gun for a begginner? Im looking for something reliable with good firerate and range. I have in mind a mini gs with a 48/4500 psi tank. I also saw that the emek 100 seemed good but it had a shorter barrel, what are your thoughts? Which one should i get or is there a better one than those 2 for beginners

[@theZappsarchive]

if you are looking for something reliable for a good price get a etha 3 mini gs are good too if you are worried abt barrel length you can always get a different barrel

[@MattTheGymRat]

I always recomend the Etha 3. I used one a few weeks ago so I will drop a video on it in about a month.

[@CDC210]

It was an awesome tournament! Definitely some kinks to work out however

[@MattTheGymRat]

I agree. Nothing is perfect but the variable they could control I feel like they did very well

[@schloemo]

Didn’t know paintball was still a thing. I played in the late 90s but all the fields I’ve ever played at are gone.

[@MattTheGymRat]

It's 10 times bigger than it was in the 90s. And everything g has changed and improved so much. It's still just as fun too

[@mymomhatespaintball4240]

This was my first like big event (I’ve only played in the usxbl series) but it was a blast well managed and very attentive staff they definitely did a great job nxl eh not so much lone star had a better layout but the experience was just kinda meh but we came home with some hardware from nxl so can’t complain

[@MattTheGymRat]

There you go! Hardware is always a good sign of a good time 🤟

[@roryn4869]

Hey I’m looking to get into paintball I have play a bit and looking into getting my own gun for a decent price what do you recommend

[@MattTheGymRat]

Etha 3 or a Emek! I did a whole video for what I think is the best beginner gun

[@Gavyn_Hosfelt]

Rough day on the breakouts man😅

@@MattTheGymRat Way to power through it! I know it can get in my head getting shot out a few times in a row as a front player. Gotta just keep sending it and break em!

When you actually wore the carbon zero how did you like it, im thinking about picking one up and would like some feedback from a avid user. Fire video btw 🔥

[@MattTheGymRat]

It's a good mask. It breathes great and is light weight. Issues I had were the screws rusted out and the lenses had fogging issues in the winter.

I think WCPPL is the best to do it and bunkerfest just took ideas from them but wcppl has a higher division

[@MattTheGymRat]

Bunkerfest had a premiere division just like WC. If you listen to Chris's interview he said he took what he liked from all the tournaments he's been to. Also I wouldn't judge the tournament before you play it

[@Taintedmind]

Tournament organizers said pink on red lol

[@MEEK93]

I’ve played a good bit of paintball in my day… what is he doing a 5:09?

[@MattTheGymRat]

You shoot the top of your bunker to make the opponent shoot high because he thinks you are standing up and then you come out low.

[@steveireno]

Try WCPPL next

[@MattTheGymRat]

It's on the list!

[@beebs024]

Did you stop using the CRBN Zero Pro mask? Looked like you used the proflex this whole video.

[@Ryan-jt9nz]

thats the way to go!

[@MattTheGymRat]

Yeah. The mask fell apart on me so I have been borrowing these.

[@beebs024]

@@MattTheGymRat Thats too bad. I love the mask (how it looks and breathes), but I am only occasionally a weekend warrior with the occasional speedball and a lot of woodsball/mag-fed. I was worried about how soft the mask itself felt.
