As a kid had this video on VHS. Watched it till the tape would not track. My 4 best friends. Will always remember Canadian nationals in Calgary when I was 14 * now 41

I was a kid back then! I LOVED the mags and cockers. I still rock them today and it's amazing the questions that are asked about them. I let people hold my mag or cocker and they are like OMG it's so heavy:) Still my older ones shoot laser beams and tear up whenever I go reccball with it. Thanks for uploading this old school goodness!

[@fubaredmatt2486]

[@jmccaffery1]

semi auto mech fire, dudes of all ages, everyone is having fun! this is the way it was intended to be played once the game evolved past the pump/woodsball pure form of the sport. I love this game!

[@jasonbugznoll9250]

Did anyone notice Angels the oh-no’s were shooting???? If I remember can you correctly they were the first in the US to us them. What awesome historic video!!!!

[@fubaredmatt2486]

Sure did!

[@Acc0rd79]

Besides the lack of sound throughout the video, I would love to see more of this broadcast on TV. I love seeing the old school mechanical guns as well. I was a teen in the 90's and remember going out with a church group the first time, good fun!

[@dingdingding4033]

[@okignite1802]

so much vintage

[@ArchonXzero]

what happened to the audio?

[@FREAKSHOW762X39]

I love Getting old school and vintage Paintball guns for super cheap and then brining them back to life! I'm from the golden age back in the day and STILL will only use gravity fed/non electric hoppers and gas blowback guns! It's allot of fun after refurbing one of these oldie but goodie guns and just owning bunches of little bastards with modern guns and electric everything who don't have a clue. Vintage style Paintball 4 life!

[@mikelong2756]

Ahh..shoebox shockers lol. Memories

Pov: it’s 1998 and there’s a team called the diggers, creativity was a struggle back then

[@frankthespank]

Oooooh tickets to watch…. paintball. 😆🤣

[@geebee3d]

Cockers, Mags, and Revy's....old school paintball at its best. I still shoot my Cocker and Mag from back in the day. Half these new kids playing have no idea what a Cocker is, or why they are still awesome.

[@mikelong2756]

geebee3d I bought a used cocker and man it was just steady breaking down. Then I got an original impulse and was crushing

[@maxfernandez8424]

geebee3d I’m actually looking to get a cocker. What’s a good first in your opinion?
