Paintball - The Weekend Warriors

The Weekend Warriors The Weekend Warriors is NOT a "How to Play Paintball" book. It's just a chronicle of one man's paintball war stories. There have been incredible changes in the sport and the players over the years. Stories range from the early days of single-shot breach loading pistols to today's digitally enhanced full-auto marvels of technology. There's a lot to be learned from listening to the tales of how it was back in the old days, and new paintballers might just be able to learn from someone else's mistakes!
Customer Review: Excellent
This is excellent casual reading for any paintball fan. Although most of the experiences were woodsball, a lot of it applies to speedball as well. Easy to read, despite a few grammatical and typographical errors. Definitely reinforces the idea that many paintball players are "average" and not a bunch of loons. Fun reading.
Customer Review: Go play the game yourself.
I guess my expectations of this book would be that I would learn about paintball history, tactics, and the evolution of paintball equipment all in the context of interesting paintball stories. Although there was a little of that, the book is really just a chronicle of the author's paintball experiences given in a diary like format. Some of the experiences were interesting but NOT that interesting. Unless you can't get out save your money and time and play a game of paintball yourself.
