Dogfight Red Baron style idea.

Recommended Posts

Well you still one hand free to hold the laser/gun whatever.
This whole idea is a wrap waiting to happen.
If you've ever done any crew then having a snagalicious thing like a pellet gun or laser pistol on your wrist, probably on a lanyard, then you'll quickly realise that this is probably an idea best kept to the campfire.....

Canopy "Laser Tag" might be a better idea.

Trouble is that in dogfighting, one seeks the advantage of being above and behind one's opponent. Kinda tough to do without power.

That is part of what makes it such a blast, Jerking on the toggles then rears to try to spin on him, then float. It was wild.

But...you won't be succesful too many times, before you're not...

i can pretty securely say this will probably happen in the near future, since a certain swoopers birthday paintball guns are starting to appear at our DZ...

the question is how much damage can you do to your canopies and lines?



We have a lot of guys here at Raeford with Painball equipment and when it's shitty outside, they all go into the woods behind the main hangar and fight. Hadn't thought about taking them up on a jump. I can tell you that I won't be doing any of that, not with my gear.
