are in the news. Live-Paintball is for entertainment purposes
only. Not all scenarios will be available to play until the
Live-Paintball System testing is complete.
ANSWERS
to Those Million Questions YOU May Have...
In
recent weeks, these are questions that people just like you
have submitted to us. These aren't in any particular order, but
here goes:
Q:
Will the
targets, models, actors, actresses be wearing eye
protection?
Yes, absolutely. In some of our promotion video previews,
the targets aren't wearing eye protection, but will be
wearing proper safety protection during actual member sessions.
Q:
Is
this legal?
Yes, this is perfectly legal. This is a new form of
online entertainment using a proprietary method for
shooting a real paintball gun online, in real-time,
with simply the click of a mouse.
Q:
Can the live
targets get hurt?
The LIVE human targets can have a welt from the 200mph
paintballs that may hit them. However, this is nothing different
from playing at a paintball field. The targets / models / actors
/ actresses are fully aware what they've signed up for and love
their exciting job as a live target!
Q:
How does the
Live-Paintball System work?
Using a proprietary method for shooting a real
paintball gun online, you simply sign up to gain
access to our Live-Paintball.com Members Area. You
then schedule a shooting session time for one of the
themes or scenarios you like. During your scheduled
time, you will have full control over the
Live-Paintball System and can shoot at the LIVE human
target trying to dodge your shots. Rapid fire as fast
as you can click the button. It's as easy as playing
your favorite video games! Point, click, shoot, all
with your mouse.
Q:
How will you deal
with the lag time with the live camera view?
We're
using similar technology that live video chat
companies use, for the camera view. At this point,
there is an ever so slight lag time of a split second.
In other words, if you see a Live Human target moving
and you shoot, the target may or may not be at that
exact spot in that split second. This is overcome by
you when you get more practice with the Live-Paintball
System. This had no effect on stationary targets
though. Within months, the technology will be
virtually lag time free.
Q:
Do you
shoot targets or people?
Actually both. You choose
the scenario you want. Whether it's just stationary
targets, or LIVE Human targets trying to avoid your
paintball shots.
Q:
Can I do it
anytime of day or night?
As quickly as the Live-Paintball
System is tested and fine-tuned by YOU, our members,
by the response rate from members, we'll schedule
convenient session times 7 days per week, at the
various times of day and night.
Q:
How accurate are
the guns used?
After the first few shots, you have a
gauge on where you are shooting the paintball gun.
Plus, there are cross hairs on the camera view for
more accuracy.
Q:
Is this equipped
to play with multiple players like online video games?
Yes, absolutely. Once we have everything thoroughly
tested and fine-tuned, multiple system scenarios will
be put in place, including 1 on 1, 3 on 3, and 5 on 5
scenarios. Plus, the World's First Online Paintball
Tournament will be announced soon!
Q:
What will stop me
from shooting the gun at places I'm not suppose to shoot?
The Live-Paintball System is very
safe and has someone standing behind the system at all
times, making sure the paintball gun is working
properly. It would be impossible to spin the system
around 360 degrees as we've placed limitations on the
system so you will shoot only in the scenario field of
view, which is about 180 degrees.
Q:
I see this
blowing up big time. Do you have an affiliate program?
Yes,
however it's available only to active participants in
Live-Paintball. Why? We feel that it's far better to
promote our affiliate program as an active member.
That way, you know what our product, service, and
company is all about. Affiliate sign-up will be
available in the members area.
Q:
What
do you shoot at?
You shoot
at our live, human targets in various themes and
scenarios. Plus, practice on stationary targets to
sharpen your Live-Paintball skills.
Q:
What
are all the costs for a month?
Membership
is FREE each month with the purchase of each shooting
session. The shooting session is only $1. Why? Because
we're crazy! Really though, we wanted to take away any
objections you may have for trying Live-Paintball.
Each additional monthly shooting session is only
$29.95 and is conveniently billed for you. You may easily
cancel at any time. If you wish to further customize
your shooting session, such as adding extra ammo,
extended session time, etc., this is possible for a
small additional fee. You're encouraged to customize
your shooting session at time of scheduling.
Q:
What
happens after my first free month?
The $1 trial was designed to take away any objection
you may have to try Live-Paintball. As a convenience,
your credit card will be automatically billed $29.95
each month, on the same day you signed up. You may easily
cancel at any time.
Q:
What
do I get as a member?
Full access to our exclusive members area. Watch all
the Live-Paintball sessions in progress, view video
clips of past member shooting sessions, watch the
how-to video tutorials to maximize your shooting
sessions, join our affiliate program to make some
serious paintball profits, submit your ideas for new
themes and scenarios.
Q:
Do you have
to be in the USA to play? (I'm in Israel)
No, you do
not have to be in the USA. You can be anywhere in the
world, as long as you have a computer and an Internet
connection. A high speed or broadband Internet
connection is recommended.
Q:
How are the
graphics?
The
graphics are actual live video feeds for the live
shooting sessions. You will also be able to view video
clips recorded from all previous member
sessions.
Q:
Can I have
my wife run through the field so I can paintball her?
It's
surprising how many requests we've had for this one!
Including, girlfriends, husbands, significant others.
Also, exes. Hey, we have a new theme here! Send them
out to us, or send a blow up of their picture for
target practice, and send her / him a copy of your
session on DVD!
Q:
I am a
frequent (in-person) paintballer. What paintball markers
are used?
While
their is no exclusive brand of paintball marker / gun
being used as of yet, we're currently reviewing
several manufacturer sponsorship requests.
Q:
How
accurate is the scope in comparison to the camera?
After
several shots, you tend to get acquainted to the
accuracy of the gun. There are cross hairs on the
scope view to help with pinpointing your exact
shot.
Q:
Do
you have to pay for extra ammo?
Our initial plan is that you will get 25 shots with
each paintball session. If you want to further
customize your paintball experience, you may add /
reload more ammo, before or during your session. Add
more ammo to unload and rapid-fire at the live human
target!
Q:
Does the
scenery change, or is every paintball session in the
same setting?
Within the
upcoming months, our ultimate plan is to have a giant
warehouse to bring all operations indoors. Imagine
mini-movie sets with all of the multiple themes and
scenery, running 365 days per year, 24 hours per day,
7 days per week! Live-Paintball entertainment on
demand!
Q:
Can you
have battles against other armed people (paintball gun
armed people) shooting back at me?
Yes, this
is one of the planed scenarios. You are sitting in
front of your computer aiming at an armed live human
target, while they are firing back at you. Watch out
before they disarm your gun or obstruct your view! A
clear plexiglas sheet will protect your paintball gun,
but the armed target can blind your view with
paintball splats! Talk about a challenging scenario!
Q:
Do
you have free online paintball games?
Membership
to Live-Paintball is free with each session purchased.
And, your very first session is only $1. So, it's
virtually free!
Q:
Are you
trying to advertise towards both men and women?
Yes. We've
had a lot of interest from women, and men, who never
played paintball before. Some of the women think it's
great because they won't even break a nail!
Q:
Do you
shoot real people with paintballs?
Yes! This
is the whole point of Live-Paintball. Multiple themes
and scenarios. The World's first live human
interactive video game!
Q:
How do I know my actual
session is really "live" and the live human
targets are actually there?
Each time
you click the fire button, the paintball gun fires,
paintballs splat where you're aiming. It would be
impossible to fake this! The live human targets will
be running around trying to dodge your paintballs
firing at them.
Q:
Can groups
of friends schedule times to play?
Yes. Once
we've finished testing and fine tuning, we'lll have
customized requests for you and your friends to play 1
on 1, 3 on 3, 5 on 5.
Q:
I
realize you may have so many people scheduling session
times, there may not be a convenient time for me. What
happens to my potentially unused session times each
month?
Have you heard of all the major cellular phone
companies using roll-over minutes? You won't loose
your session times! You can combined them into longer
session times, or wait until there are convenient
dates and times to use them. They will roll over each
month until you use them. And, with the major
expansion plans in the upcoming months, there will be
many Live-Paintball Systems all under one giant roof.
This will make it where you can virtually schedule
session times immediately. Choose your theme and
scenario.
Q:
How did you
come up with this idea????
The
original idea started almost two years ago. Then, with
almost a year of programming and proprietary
inventing, Live-Shot was born. This is where you can
shoot a real live, fully loaded, with real bullets,
gun online. Since many states in the USA have moved to
ban Internet hunting before it really starts, Marty
teamed up with John Lockwood, the creator and inventor
of Live-Shot, to create a new, safe, more
entertaining, and wider audience appeal, spin off of
the technology utilizing paintball. The launch of
Live-Paintball.com Company was the result.
Q:

It
only costs $1 for your first shooting session!
Are
we nuts? Are we crazy? Yes and no. Maybe and somewhat.
"Marty,
Why in the Hell Would You
Let
Me Sign Up for Only $1 !"
Great
question. The $1 Trial allows you to try Live-Paintball for
virtually FREE!
Realizing there will be a huge demand for this new form of online
entertainment, at any time, we can pull the $1 trial offer.
But what
excuse would you possibly have for not investing only one buck
to try this?
Is it a fair offer?
You bet it is!
After the
first 30 days, it will be $29.95 per monthly shooting session.
Your credit card will be conveniently billed every 30 days on the
same day each month. You may also sign up for additional shooting

"Ok Marty. What happens if all the
time slots are filled and I don't get to use my shooting
session that month?"
Your shooting session
will roll-over into the next month. You will never lose unused or
unscheduled shooting sessions. Just like some cell phone companies
are doing today - "roll-over minutes".
Well, your shooting
sessions will roll-over until you use them. Combine them into longer
session times if you wish.
As you
can see, $1 for the first shooting session, and
FREE
access to the Members Area is
a great bargain!
(We
actually lose our shorts the first month!)
Each
additional shooting session / month is only $29.95.
This is
extremelyfair considering YOU can:
