Through My Lenses
The "Through My Lenses" series of articles are strictly, "Through My Lenses". These write-ups are based strictly through my view and opinion of the sport of paintball in general in Malaysia, as an official M-PRO marshal, and the head marshal of Tanamera Paintball Park. Any questions or criticisms should be brought forward directly to me, not the Tanamera Paintball Park management.

Through My Lenses: Over-Chrono
A paintball exits the muzzle of a marker's barrel at about 300feet per second (FPS), or 90 meters per second. That translates to about 200 miles per hour, or about 320kilometers per hour. At those velocities, most paintballs break on impact. It is considered a "safe" limit for the game, and is followed all over the world.
Paintball markers, from Tippmanns, to Dyes, to Planet Eclipses, to MacDevs, are designed to work at its best if the velocity is set BELOW 300fps. Infact, the recommended velocity for the infamous(but often over-rated, i know because i have one) BT Apex barrels is 275-285fps and the flatline is recommended to be used at 275fps to be effective. Experienced ballers would know, if the marker is over-chronoed, the accuracy drops, balls break more often, and they hurt a hell load more. Paintball masks, from V-Force to i4's to Jt's, all paintball mask manufacturers, provide a little booklet on mask maintenance. If you still have yours, please open it. Every mask that i know of, have a disclaimer. "This mask cannot protect you from paintballs flying at over 300fps." or something that carries almost the same meaning to that.
The reasons that i always get from people that over-chrono: It shoots further. Yes, it does give you a few additional meters when shooting, but at what cost? Safety? Accuracy? What's the point of having a marker with that sorta range but you're unable to actually hit the target?
I personally believe that all paintball barrel kits and markers are designed to work best at speeds below 300fps. So there's no point for you to spend Rm500-600 on a barrel kit if you're going to over-chrono your marker. It will not give you improved accuracy, it will not make you play paintball better, it would just brand you as a "kiasu" guy that has more money then he can spend.
You will be surprised that on normal play days, how many people over-chrono their markers. Although this problem is slowly a thing of the past in Tanamera Paintball Park due to our random spot-check sessions, it is still rampant in other fields. Some fields actually does not have a chrono limit(no, i'm not telling which field) The owner himself told me that he wants his customer to have fun, and he said paintball is not fun without the pain. So all his house markers(Bravo Ones and Spyder Extras) are chronoed to 320-340fps. He also told me with much self satisfaction that before he ditched the chrono limit, he shot a few of his rental masks close range and they stood fast. But ask your selfs. How much more the mask can take? And how many accidents does it take for our favorite sport to be in the firing squad of the Rakyat, and the government. Yes, it only takes ONE(1) accident.
Some people actually take fun from seeing another's misery. When he see people bleed. Ask your self again. Are you one of those people? One of those who does not want new players? One who scares all the newbies away by making them bleed? Or the one that would cause the very first "mask break" accident in Malaysia? Stop being so kiasu and childish la...
Those velocity limits, and those disclaimer on the masks are there for a reason. They're designed that way after years of accidents, trials, and errors. Its a very simple thing to follow, its there for a reason, in fact, the most important reason and rule of them all, safety first, safety last.
Over-chono-ing players in Tanamera, you guys better watch out. I'll be getting you very very soon.

Through My Lenses: Overshooting
in·tent (ĭn-těnt') - Intent. to or for all intents and purposes, for all practical purposes; practically speaking; virtually: The book is, to all intents and purposes, a duplication of earlier efforts.
I start this article by asking you guys a question. What is your intention of playing paintball? For fun? As a weekend exercise? A pastime? To hurt? To make people feel pain?
A paintball "hit" is defined as a hit or a mark made by a paintball which leaves a(singular) paint mark on a player to define the player as "dead" or "out". Yes. You only need to hit a player once for him to be dead or out. Paintball is not brutal. Its a professionally played game worldwide. It brings up back to the point of this write-up. Why overshoot?
Every weekend, countless players, regulars and newbies alike comes to me to complain. "I out already they still shoot me." Some players keep quiet but the effects of overshooting can be clearly seen on their clothing. It is further reinforced by the bruises on their body. Overshooting makes the sport of paintball brutal. Newbies who get overshot, do you think they would ever come back? Do you think their friends would tryout paintball after seeing the bruises?
Put your self in a scenario like this, this has just happened to one of my close friends who played paintball twice and playing the first time with his own marker. He's laying in a fox hole in Viet-Cong. He's the last man standing. A group of 15 regulars surrounds him and marked him "firing squad" style. He got bathed in paint with at least 20 shots to his body, marker, mask and head. What am i supposed to tell him to expect? As usual, the only thing i can say to him and the countless people who have been overshot, "Suck it up, it comes with the sport" but for how long more do i have to use the suck-it-up line? If you guys would just look at the playing style of really professional players. Go YouTube- PaintBorg. Look at his quake cams and learn because that how paintball should be played.
I do admit that the overshooting comes because of certain players who wipes and plays on. But if a guy, any guy. And that guy could be you yourself. If that guy were to be the last man standing, and he's one against 15, what's the point of shooting the poor guy? Can he wipe if there's 15 barrels pointed to his face? Can you? Again i come back to the word intent. What is your intent?
I know its fun and its reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyyyy tempting to give that guy 1 or 2 more shots "just to make sure" but come on guys. 20 shots? That's a bit over already la. Play like an adult because "most" of you are. Play fair, and if you don't want overshooting to happen to you, do not overshoot in the first place. Its karma. What goes around comes around.
If you wanna hurt people and bruise people real bad, quit paintball and take up boxing, so that you can go back whining to your ugly girlfriend saying people hurt you. =(

Through My Lenses: Wiping
Arguably, wiping has long since been a problem in Paintball. "Wiping" as the name implies, is when a player attempts to remove or "wipe" a mark made by a broken paintball on themselves in order to hide the hits and thus play on. Paintballs are designed and made to leave a visible, clear mark on a hit player to "mark" them out. It is an effective system, but it is not a fool proof system.
In Tanamera Paintball Park, wipers are a common sight. I ain't pointing no fingers here, but c'mon guys, do you think i'm blind or what? The way that you guys play weekend games, with no Rm5000 for the winning team reflects on how you lead your personal life. In my humble opinion, if you cheat in Paintball, you will and have been cheating your self on your life. You're not cheating me. Nor you're cheating Abu, the one you're lying to is your self.
Marshals
To be honest, marshals in a rec-ball game are not there to call you out. Not that we bother, as if we could stop you guys (again, i ain't mentioning names here) from wiping? What's the point to give penalties to enforce those rules? I mentioned earlier, it is not that the games pay Rm5000 to the winning team right? Our job on the field is to give a fair game to all the players standing there on that day. All we can do is split up an even team, and make sure the game is safe and enjoyable for everyone, newbies and regulars alike. We can't be next to every player on the field at one go, again, we're not god. And as much as me loving to imagine having eyeballs that can zoom, i don't have them, and no i can't look and see what's happening on the far side of Lake Placid.
Bitching
Every weekend, players come to me and complain, "That guy kena shoot then dowan go out!, Like that play mat lan oh?" Wipers, and honest players alike. Sometimes i do wonder, you sendiri wipe, i've seen you doing it countless times, and now you're here bitching to me that the opposing players are wiping? Honest players, c'mon guys. Now look me in the eyes and tell me you have not wiped even one single shoot from the first day that you took up a paintball marker. Who cares if you have a 50 foot banner saying that you're against wiping? I surely don't, and don't come bitching to me at Tanamera saying "Wah lan eh, everyone also you tembak, i know you damn good you don't wipe one..." If you're thinking to do that or considering that at this point, read the post again. No where in this post mentions that i do not cheat and wipe. Am i a honest player or a wiper, i'll leave that to your consideration. Those who played with me and against me knows.
Advices
Wiping is an art, if you wanna be dishonest with yourself and wipe, please do it without me seeing it or the opposing players seeing it. If you wanna wipe also, you do it more professionally right? Watching those players in the US-PL wipe(in replayed YouTube Videos, with a red circle indicating when they wiped) You guys are a total useless noobs in wiping. Of course, if you're not a paintball noob in the first place you won't be the one wiping as you'll be the one shooting people out.
Can't take losing playing Paintball? Go play bowling. Or get a Nintendo Wii and play Cooking Mama with your ugly girlfriend at home with cheat codes and quit Paintball.

Tanamera Paintball Park
Tanamera Paintball Park first started in December 2007 by Omar Mazlan and Dean CK Lau. It all begin when all of our friends joined together to play with their own markers. After 2 weeks, Omar and Dean decided to rent some markers to try out the recball business. Those days we only had two fields which is only Vietcong Village and the Jungle Warfare.
They rented 20 markers from a friend who is also a field operator. People started coming in by groups. Team Feskilla those days which has no name yet started being our first customers. Then came in RJB which also has no name back then as well. From then on, words was spread around about our field and slowly more people started to come in.
In February 2008, Tanamera opened up another two more fields which is Lake Placid and Killhouse. When two more fields were opened, more customers flogged in. From renting the house markers, we bought our first 40 Tippman Custom 98 Rental Markers. Our first public link was created in Facebook. The group, Tanamera Paintball Fellaz is the only source of advertisement and promotion back then until now. In February 17th, an event - Company Of Heroes was created by Paintball Maniacs where 80 over players attended which made this event the first largest group for Tanamera. Also on the same month, Dogg brought in his group, ESP as a resident team in Tanamera.
In March 2008, we moved the seating area which is currently the briefing area to the current cafe which has a seating capacity of over 100 people. Customers from all areas and company's began to come in bigger groups. Paintball Maniacs created another larger scale of event by Cookie Monster, Hasrul and Prem. With the help of their group in Facebook brought in another 120 players which mark another record breaking number of players for Tanamera.
In May 2008, we received overwhelming bookings which made us buy another 40 markers adding up to the total of 80 markers. On the same month, we held our first Tanamera Paintball House League where 9 teams of 12 men compete against each other. Those teams are :
1. RJB
2. El Juego - 1
3. Kejahatan
4. PBM
5. Traitors
6. Shadow
7. CMX
8. Ghost Squad
9. Delta
The team that won the first Tanamera Paintball House League was team Paintball Maniacs. Came runner up was team Traitors. Team Kejahatan won the Best Sportsmanship Team where the whole team was using Tippman Custom 98 where others had their electronic markers. Since then, paintballers have requested Tanamera to make another league but due to timing and cost factor, we could only do it in 2009.
On the same day, Tanamera Paintball Field was also declared and officiated by Datuk Mazlan Harun as Tanamera Paintball Park. We are officially the largest Paintball Park in Malaysia and Asia with 7 Scenario Fields with 80 acres land.
On 31st August 2008, marked another history breaking number of players where 200 players came to support our Merdeka Event.
From then on, bookings that we received from corporate sectors, teams and newbies came in heavily. We started off with our Regular Customers as Marshals where our management would like to thank them for making Tanamera Paintball Park a success in the Paintball industry. People of the below mentioned are the first few people who helped built up Tanamera Paintball Park :
1. David Guch
2. Alfie Othman
3. Sham
4. Cindy
5. Jason Lai
6. Darren Ooi
7. Weeliam
Tanamera Paintball Park owes our gratitute to you guys,Thank You Very Much.
With the good relationship with the players, some of them came during the weekends to help us out marshaling in Tanamera Paintball Park. Dogg was appointed as the Chief De Mission in Tanamera for being one of the most outstanding marshals.
Our current regular Marshals such as Dogg and team ESP, Sani, Goh, Hasrul and team PBM, Abu, Phat, Najib and team El Juego(EJPC), Wan, David Blood, and our Secretariat, Dina has helped brought our 1st Anniversary a success event of the year in paintball history in Malaysia which was held on 21st December 2008. More than 360 players attended the event where 4 games were created.
The first big game was at Lake Placid where 170 VS 170 players which was led by 2 Generals, Tunku Alizan from team EJPC and Ujang from team Apache. The second game was Heart Attack where 80 players defended the Hill and 280 people attacking from below. The third game was Search and Destroy, a combination of Vietcong Village and the Jungle where again with the same amount of players defending the Jungle. The fourth game was held at the Polo Field and also one of a kind which has never been played in Malaysia, the Civil War where 120 VS 120 players on a 10 acres polo Field. The event ended with a big success.
