Aside from this impending little bit of fun, it should also be noted that this was before VHOLDR one-touch hands-free helmet cameras. I had a Viosport helmet camera the size and weight of a roll of quarters, jury rigged on my mask. It was powered by 8 AA batteries with no ON/OFF switch or low battery indicator, and then I had it plugged into an 8mm camcorder as a recording device in a fanny pack. It was a miracle I got anything at all...the slightest bump in the wrong way would dislodge a battery or pop a connection out and I'd be shooting diddly squat and have absolutely no idea.
Fortunately everything worked fine and the result is probably the biggest paintball ass-beating ever caught on film. For those of you just joining us, this was at the invasion of Normandy Scenario at Skirmish USA. A bunch of us got into a bus and decided to "soften up" the German front lines before the ramps went down. I was pleased to see there was room for me in there, fool that I was.
Coming Soon: Part 2!
