It definitely isn't impossible.
I spoke to Julian (other one) yesterday about 'hijacking' the place they use for 'Beirut' (coming up on 5 September).
He's got no problems with us (read: me) using it for team practices, challenging other teams, etc. but standard range fees will apply (R60/person with own marker).
That would be ideal for a 'Battlefield 2/BC2' game, as it has both ruined buildings and bush to hunt each other down in.
Here's the catch/es:
Chances are, very few of you lot have your own markers, cammos, masks, neck guards, and all that sort of thing. Try flying a marker to Jhb... if it's a MilSim marker like mine, an M4-A1 replica, it's just not gonna happen.
Women MUST wear armour (it's like covert flak jacket, only made out of foam rubber), so for Nite, Onny, and Paul, they will need to be arranged. I have a spare padded tac. vest, which provides
some protection, but you really don't want to get shot on the tit! Breast cancer is no one's friend.
We'd need to arrange CO2 or CA (compressed Air. Mike can help there) beforehand. I have 3 CO2 bottles, but we'd need a lot more than that.
We'd also need paint. AT R375/2000 balls for 3-2 (I was well-pleased with their performance yesterday, and they're local!)
Water... lots and lots of it. You'd be amazed how quickly you dehydrate running around hunting each other. Time flies. Next thing you know, you've been at it for 5 hours.
So... how many people are interested? And not like the usual "Ja. We'll all be at practice", but no one pitches grrr thing. If we need to rent markers, we need definite numbers beforehand. Maybe Mike has some...?
The other, far easier way of doing it would be to just invade a field like Field 19/The Woods/Green Boots/River Raiders en mass. Pretty sure, if we have the numbers, I can arrange to have the field closed to the general public for the day, if it's one of Julian's.
Then, rent your gear for R 100/person, which includes overalls (and armour for women), masks, markers, gas, paint... everything you need to play social paintball.
Try get a feel from your peeps, as to how many are keen, from grrr and other clans, maybe?. Once we've got real numbers, and some time to work in, I'm sure we can do something fun and painful.
Don't be afraid of the pain. Ja, it hurts when you get tagged, but the bruises aside, it really only stings for a few seconds. Once you've finished swearing, the pain is gone.
Here is a link to Field 19's site, so you can see the ranges, etc.

My legs especially look like I have chicken pox, and I have some beauts on my torso too. There is a really good one, just below my left shoulder, all blue, green, yellow and red, which correlates to a blue mark on my marpat, so that could only have been you.
