One December afternoon, we caught up with Brian Wilson, the captain of BGB, to ask him a few questions. Here are his answers:

Q. What is your gun of choice?

A. I have to pick a free flow autococker, because they're highly reliable, and they look incredibly awesome. I also like to support professional paintball.

Q. What is most exciting about tournament speedball?

A. The adrenaline of close combat such as when you're face to face with an opponent on the other side of a bunker. Being a flag man is the most adrenaline pumping thing you can do, because your so damn close...

Q. Being a team captain yourself, what advice can you give new captains just starting out?

A. Try to bond with all the players in a personal way, so they respect you. This way you can easily tell the players where to be for the next match, and what positions to play. Don't be forceful.

Q. What do you enjoy most about the game of paintball?

A. The moment when you get someone out, you realize you've just used your personal skills, along with your mental abilities to hit that person with a paintball. Bunkering someone has to come in a close second.

Q. What is the key aspect of keeping a team together?

A. After each match, talk about your strengths of the game, but also your weaknesses, so you don't get cocky, saying they did this and shot so many players. This way players won't get discouraged and they'll feel that they are worthwhile to the team.

Q. What are you most excited for in the upcoming season?

A. The wins of course. I feel we'll be able to rack in at least three...

Q. Finally, If you had to choose a team/players to accompany BGB in a 10 man tournament, what individuals, or team, would you pick?

A. The members of LOCKOUT [professional paintball]. They are some of the top players in the nation, and all around nice guys.
