Gogged - Paintball Definitions
Gogged means getting hit in the face mask or goggles. Gogged also means getting hit in the lens of the goggles. Usually, the player who is Gogged is eliminated from the game, as getting hit in any part of the body takes you out of the game. The player is knocked out of the game if he is hit in any part of his uniform, mask, goggles, or marker system. Typically the paintball must hit the player, break, and leave a mark of paint on the player for him to be out of the game. The need for the paintball to break when it hits its target illustrates the need for quality paint when playing the game. Good quality paintballs are designed to break on their targets, and not inside of the barrel or chamber of the marker. Also, quality paintballs have a thick film, so that there will be no doubt that the shot came from a direct hit. Some quality paintball brands include Proball Paintballs from Archon Paintball, Black Ops Premium paintballs from Armotech, and Sterling Game Paintballs from Arrow Precision. When you get Gogged by Sterling game paintballs, your face mask will be smothered in a thick paint fill.
There are a number of strategic tactics that you will need to use on the field to avoid getting caught. The first tactic involves playing tight. Playing tight means using your body, marker, and buffer zone to keep as low a profile as possible in order to avoid getting hit by racing paintballs. Playing tight means keeping your body tight so that you give your opponents a much smaller target to aim at. Playing tight will keep you alive so that you can still make an impact in the game. Tactics such as playing tight are used at paintball fields such as Element Paintball Field and Anchorage Alaska and Blood and fire paintball in Gap Pennsylvania. If a player gets gogged at Blood & Fire Paintball, he will be lucky to be wearing a good quality head protection system that keeps his face safe. There are several great fields to play on at Blood & Fire paintball, and enough energy between the players to keep you fired up all day. At the B&F website, www.bloodandfirepaintball.com, visitors can find out about the fields calendar of events and check out some exciting action photos from past events. One of the action photos even show a player getting Gogged in the face mask and masks lens. Another action photo shows three players lined up side by side, and holding their fully armed Action markers.
Players at Blood & Fire paintball have used markers such as the Mongoos from 32 Degrees and the Mars EVO Gold from Armotech. The Mars Evil Gold may be listed as a low-end electronic marker, but it has a long list of high performance features and parts. Some of these features include a sight rail, Steel Braided Line, push Button controls, and double trigger. The Mars EVO Gold fires straight shots and will get your opponent Gogged any time. If you do get Gogged, then you will want a mask like the Head Case Mask to keep your eyes and ears safe.
