    Kilted Paintball

    I've taken to playing paintball kilted...



    This was taken at the west point combat classic last weekend. I'm not sure where my marker is...

    I think the member, Cloves, used to paint ball in kilts. I know she had threads about it.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    More information needed. What is your kilt made of? Does it get stained (assuming you get hit)? No sporran? What's a marker?

    Regards

    Awesome--in theory. I would imagine it is painful when hit in the legs.

    A 'marker' is the 'gun'. To try and remove the 'warfare' and militaria connections, the governing bodies, certainly in the UK, decided to rename them 'markers' as the project 'marks' your 'target', so mummy wouldn't complain that her little Johnny is going around shooting people.
    Pure semantics of course but...

    Yeah! Awesome! You might want to go in an alkilt or something like it. Less noticeable in the woods and sturdier. Less ouch if you take a hit to the kilt area.
    God bless the kilted everywhere and all who see them!

    The kilt! It gets in your blood and cannae be removed through medicine or magic.

    Thanks, Martin.

    So either, you're good at this or you're a "marked man".
