Hi,
I've always though that hobby might just be fun and a
way to take out aggression and tension. In looking at
those pictures, I find myself wondering if you lug that
whole mess around while "hunting" or, do you just take the
gun itself, and leave the tank, etc. behind for breaks when
you refill the gun with CO2?

Nice paintball gun, dude!

Nope... ya gotta carry the whole load around. It's usually rather balanced tho, and the whole gun is usually made of aluminum, with the tank being made of fiberglass or aluminum.

It's a fun sport, if you could call it that. It starts to be non-fun when people crank their guns all the way up when they're shooting close range...that just hurts...

as poison said, u carry it all. BUT, the whole setup is roughly the weight of a shotgun, its not as heavy as it looks. plus when your aiming the air tank basically becomes a stock so it helps steady the gun and supports most of the weight once pulled in tight. i tell ya what Frank, find a cheap place to play in ur area give it a couple tries n u might just have a new sport of choice. i dont suggest trying to get in the spirit by watching the paintball matches on like ESPN n stuff tho. its just not really a spectator sport. i love paintball, I REALLY LOVE PAINTBALL. but i can only watch paintball on tv more for strategy n technique not to actually watch the game. anyway, give it a shot...pun intended... its a fun, adrenaline pumping, addictive sport.
