subject: Bunker In To Win Paintball Games [print this page] The enemy is encroachingThe enemy is encroaching. There is ammunition whizzing by overhead. You can hear your heartbeat in your ears. Your team has been forced to divide and you find yourself alone and outnumbered. The only thing that you have on your side is a vantage point to hide behind and assess the situation. You dive behind the second the enemy fires in your direction. The bunker has saved you, at least for this moment.
Strategy
Paintball can have the feel of warfare. However, while the severity is not there the fierce competition and strategy still exists. One strategy is to use paintball bunkers whenever possible. The bunkers allow a player to hide and watch the opposition. Opponents can shoot at each other as much as they'd like as one hides behind a bunker. However, that bunker will absorb all of the splattering paintball markers and leave the bunkered competitor unharmed. The player already has enough to worry about as they are trying to juggle a paintball gun, gun pack, markers and enemies. Paintball bunkers make coverage one less thing to worry over during paintball warfare.
Players can dart among the paintball bunkers as they make their way from one side of the arena to another. If the purpose is to capture the opponent's flag, the bunkers can be used as protection. Many players learn to roll between the gaps of the bunkers. The rolling motion leaves the players in an upright position with their paintball guns ready to fire.
Types
Paintball bunkers can come in a variety of forms. They can be formed like simple shapes; squares, circles or triangles. They can also be made in complex formations. Complex paintball bunkers can include windows and have long extensions and even walls that form small rooms. The bunkers can be stacked and placed however the players see fit.
The paintball bunkers take most of the abuse as players fire the paintball markers at their opponents. Instead of being a sitting duck, the paintball bunkers provide the protection and coverage that the wilderness or crumbling buildings can.
Bunkers also provide for a fast and convenient method of setting up a paintball arena. All the players need is an open area and they can inflate and construct the playing field however they see fit. The paintball bunkers can also help in blocking stray paintball markers from making their way out of the arena. The paintball bunkers are practical, fun and tactical components that are necessary for an intense paintball war.
