Running For Cover
Running for cover in paintball means taking some kind of evasive action to not get hit by a paintball. When a player is running for cover, he is usually in the act of running behind a natural, manmade, or inflatable bunker. Natural bunkers include things that a player would use in a natural environment to avoid getting hit. Natural bunkers may include logs, overturned trees, rocky formations, and big mounds of sand. Manmade bunkers may include forts, wirespools, and tanks. Inflatable bunkers are the bunkers of choice in woodsball and speedball games. Some examples of inflatable bunkers include inflatable bunkers from Balzlistic Inc.. The Balzlistic Inc. Bunkers are designed to make a great boom sound when hit by paintballs, and they are designed in a series of unique square and triangular shapes to give players a variety of angles for shooting from and running for cover.
Inflatable bunkers by Balzlistic offer game organizers setting up fields an unlimited number of choices for setting up fields, with their unique combination of shapes and angles. These bunkers are made with materials that are durable and will not be easy to break. This is an interesting bunker system that gives players a new look that they may not have seen in other bunker systems. Other popular bunker systems include paintball bunkers from Ameri-Brand Products Inflatable bunkers from Ameri-Brand Products are available in a variety of different sizes, including square and triangular. These Ameri-Brand bunkers can be set up in a matter of minutes, and they can be purchased for 3 man, 5 man, and 7 man fields. These are good bunkers that players can run for it and they're running for cover.
There are several manufacturers of bunkers made specifically for paintball, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some common bunker names and shapes include can, rollie, and dorito. The dorito is a three sided pyramid-like bunker. The rollie is shaped like a long cylinder and is usually layed flat. Players running for cover towards the rollie often begin a slider or dive just before reaching this inflatable sanctuary. The Can is long and barrel shaped and is layed vertical. Players stand straight when running behind this bunker, or shooting out of the side of it. Another common bunker shape players see is the tombstone. The tombstone is long and rectangular shaped, but curved at the corners on the top end of the inflatable. The temple is a four-sided pyramid with the top cut off. These bunkers have a variety of shapes and all present interesting challenges for players as they go behind them as they are running for cover, and shoot from behind from.
Running for cover means finding an object that will keep players from getting hit by a paintball. Players must consider the shapes of these bunkers so that they do not take a dome shot or get gogged. Getting gogged means taking paintball splat to the goggles or head protection system. Other ways of warding off player eliminations include running and shooting and having another teammate flank you as you move your way towards the enemy flag.
