Hey, I'm also a stock class paintball player. I use a CCI Phantom.
My most unlikely paintball story happened during a 3v1 game, everyone versus me. We were playing on a 4 acre field, a town surrounded by woods. They had a tendency to stick to the 'town' section of the field, never really venturing into the surrounding woods.
My strategy so far had been hit and run, trying to find a good angle on them, firing a few shots, then getting the hell out of there. About two minutes into the game, I had already eliminated one of them. By this point, I was in the trenches which was dug 4ish feet deep along one side of the town. I took a few shots from the right side of the trenches, then ran to the left. One of my opponents was shooting at me from about 50 feet away, so I decided to climb out of the trench and make my way to the nearby forest.
In my effort to very quickly leave the trench, I cocked my Phantom, jumped up onto the edge of the trench, took aim at my opponent, and began a sprint. Unfortunately for me, I had not yet cleared the small mound of dirt in front of the trench, so I tripped. I hit the ground while unintentionally somersaulting... Mid somersault, I accidentally took a shot. *Splat*
I had hit my opponent in the lens. This convinced that player and the two refs who were watching that I am a paintball God.
