What are the numbers in the paintball harness?
Say you have a 3+2+2 pod pack. The first number means that there are 3 main pod compartments. The second number usually means the number of loops you have on top of the main compartments. The loop is a piece of material to hold more pods, but aren't as secure at the main pockets. These are usually in between two of the main pod compartments. And lastly, the third number is the number of loops found on the side.

OK I know a few tips on how to not get hit in paintball. for one, don't ever where bright colors when you go. You don't want to be the only loser in neon colors because that pretty much telling people you are there and your practically say shoot at me. Another tip is to be aggressive. It may sound dumb as hell but it really isn't. The moment you sit behind cover the whole time and not move, looking out every time is either going to make you an easier target to hit because your not moving, or the rest of your team would get out and then they would bunker you, which isn't fun on your side. One more is that when you go from one bunker to another, don't run while aiming, just sprint to it. There are less chances of you getting hit if you sprint to the bunk then aiming for someone while running. The last tip that I have for you is that when your behind cover, don't just stand up straight looking for someone. Either call out "POSITION" or take quick looks out of your bunker with your gun ready to fire. Other than this, getting hit is part of the game and there is no way to not get hit. Hope this helped.
if you are playing woodsball color does nothing, camo is WAY over-rated, motion is what really gives you away, you could be head to toe in a ghilli suit but if your out there waving your arms around it does no good, I played woodsball for about 3 years with a bright red marker and hopper and nobody found me until i started shooting, not moving makes you very hard to find. Speedball on the other hand, again colors do not matter but there is no hiding in speedball, be aggressive. Nomatter what you do you will eventually get hit, don't be scared its not so bad, wear a few layers and they will soak up a lot of it.
What clothes should you wear for paintball in the summer?

How do you adjust velocity on a JT tac 5 paintball gun?
It is the exact same velocity adjustment style as the Tippmann 98. One the side of the marker there will be a screw that goes into the gun. Get the hexagonal key that fits it and turn it in to decrease and out to increase. What this does is moves a screw physically in the way of the airflow of the shot, causing it to loose energy.

What is S1 and S2 in paintball?
This is slang in paintball for the "snake" bunkers. S1 is the first part of the set of bunkers and S2 is usually towards the middle of the field. Players commonly yell this out to let the rest of the team to let them know where the players are.
gennerally the number refers to the "knuckles" or divisions in the snake rather than a half way point, so s1 is the first knuckle, meaning there is a player behind that, and s2 is the second etc, there can be many knuckles in a snake

Should I buy body jewelry online?
Yes you can, it is the same or better quality that you would get in a retail store. As long as you purchase from a reputable and specialist body jewellery website, body jewellery online is at least as good as the stuff you get from shops. A specialist body jewellery website will offer a much wider selection of styles and sizes than a store has space to display, and the staff will be more knowledgeable. It's likely to be of the same quality but a much better price than buying from a piercing studio or tattoo shop, as online based retailers do not have the same overheads as a retail store or shop so do not need to pass on these costs to the customer.
