What is your best memory playing the game on the field ?
THE TIME TOM KAYE KILLED 12 COPS them . My first volley through a crack went out into the grass and instantly took out all of the snipers . When one of the two front groups took their eye off the front door , I swung it open using it as a shield against the group behind me at the other corner and took out three more in seconds . Dashing back inside I saw the rear group hear the commotion and move off to the side of the building to see what was going on leaving the back door unprotected . I dashed out the back door and circled back around to the front and took out the remaining front defenders from behind since they were focused on the front door .
My most “ interesting ” memory playing paintball was in the mid ‘ 90s when I had just met officer Sgt . Chuck Shroeder who was very interested in trying paintball training with police . We eventually partnered up and created a police training facility that we ran for eight years . The first time we got his people together to “ train ” we met at Paintball Sam ’ s in Wisconsin . Chuck not knowing my skill level or how paintball players play , sent me alone into a large wooden structure with several rooms . The “ police ” were told to surround the building and get me out , dead or alive .
The officers mirrored what you would see in the movies , several went out and laid down in the grass as “ snipers .” One team of four went to the back , the other five to the front , posting at each front corner . Looking through the cracks in the building I could see all of
I dashed back in the front door and non-stop out again through the back door and caught several talking to each other with guns down . They were gone instantly , and the last guy alive started running away . I chased him and when he tried to turn and shoot me , he fell down and I shot him in the back within feet of the rest of his team standing in the dead zone . I actually felt bad about the whole thing and offered to help the guy up but he refused . I went up to Chuck to apologize for beating his guys up but he said , “ don ’ t apologize , they needed to learn how easy it is to die .”
The police have an extremely hard job to do and must make life changing and often legally decisive decisions in a split second in uncontrolled conditions against crazy people ( like me that day ). That day forever changed my mind about the job of a police officer and led to AGD having a long history in police protection with the FN303 and Pepperball ’ s still saving lives on both sides today .
