Nashville/Mid TN Meetups

[nerdcore]

Garrett was actually shooting an Emek.
That's how fast they are with the upgraded trigger parts.

Is he using any of the wonky valves, or is that just one of the nicer 3ways + secret pin?

HAHA! I was wondering where all your gameplay footage was! Also thought that one dude at the startbox/net was just wearing socks, but they were just miraculously clean white cleats.

Man, I forget what it's like playing with electros. Not sure I like it now...

They always had it.
We ended up playing at Nashville Paintball today, though- Garrett and I drove to X-Treme but there was no one else there- the owner says they really never get anyone on Sundays but they had 60 people yesterday.
We ended up going to NPI and met up with Kevin and some other people.

Might head that way one of these days. Fields with more tree cover would be nice during the summer. Played at NPI a couple saturdays ago and sweat so much in one hour that it didn't feel any different when the rain came (after which everyone left).

Do they have walk-on play now? Or did they always have it?

Last minute notice, but there's going to be some pumpers/MCB-ers at XTreme paintball in Lebanon this Sunday, 7/13/25

Speaking of Xtreme, are you going to make Spring Pump Event weekend after next?

Oh, and if not, Insane near Chattanooga is having an old school mech meetup day on the 27th. I'll be in Florida but otherwise I'd totally be there.

Haven't been keeping up with meetups & events, tbh. I have nerdier plans both of those weekends (D&D).

Right now the plan is just showing up for recball @ NPI the next time my knees don't hurt & it's less than 80°, which is a lot to ask, lol.

Awesome video, you got some great shooting skills.
Really liked the voice overs from Metal Slug too.

Thanks! It makes me so happy to know that someone actually got some of the jokes!

I've been to the new location a couple times. But after playing at Xtreme in Millstadt for one of the meetups (2023?), it was hard going back to NPI. So few fields. I miss the old hyperball & tower fields. It's good to hear the crowds are still there, though; gives them a reason to keep investing in the place.

Yeah, the new location is an overall downgrade, but it's still a dependable location for local pickup ball.

It's a real bummer that Nashville doesn't have a big scenario-ready field.

Don't know if you've been to the new location behind the Target yet, but it's a mixed bag. Their new cars field isn't even a shadow of the old one, and is much too narrow. The concrete field is surprisingly good, though, and is really well balanced to promote movement. They just opened up a new wooded field 2 weeks ago and I've barely gotten a chance to play it but it's much wider and longer than anything else they've got. There's lots of trees, but they're skinny, and there's quite a bit of plastic tubing bunkers sprinkled throughout. Also, normal weekend crowds remain strong, so if I were able to play regularly (and with a 3-year-old, I'm not) NPI would still be my pick.

Nice. Saw the clip of the renter with your pump on reddit, lol.

I'm considering a return to the field after going MIA for 2 yrs. How is NPI doing? Any significant changes?
