Was there actually a supplemental paintball instructional video, or did the TV just happen to be in the composition?
There was a video playing. It was called, "The Paintball Sniper."
Col. Havoc (Who likes to refer to himself in the third person) did not see it. I think a few guys watched part of it while we were out shooting the markers.)
By the way, good videos about woodland games are hard to come by. If anyone has suggestions, please let us know.

Haha, is that an invitation to make one?
If we did, it would be hard to break out of the "mock-war" cliche. Showing a bunch of guys writhing on the ground with "paint" blood has been done, at the very least, a billion times.
The joy of such a video would be identifying the nuances and frustrations of combat that are distinctly paintball related and milking them for all they're worth.
Broader questions arise as well. Why are these two forces (pink and blue) pitted against each other? What is ultimately accomplished in victory? What really is the significance of The Flag?
Could be fun.
(And if that wasn't an invitation to make a video, I just waited about ten pages of comment space. Sorry.)
Yes, that is an invitation to make a paintball video.
I hadn't really thought it through that far, but yes, what an wexcellent idea!
