Staff Member Auburn Ma

Justin Riopel works at the Auburn X Fire Paintball store and he is a full time student at West Boylston High School. He is involved in many extracurricular activities that keep him busy when he isn’t on the field or at the store.

Justin has been playing paintball for four years. He started off with a PMI Piranha that he used for over a year. He says that he would have upgraded it but buying paint was his priority. He then bought a Rebel LE Deluxe which was a great gun………… until he tried to play with it. After the Rebel and the Piranha, Justin purchased a Bob Long Intimidator Classic.

With this new gun, and his amazing paintball skills, Justin was able to make the X Fire Novice team. He currently owns a black to gold fade DM4 that is powered by a 68ci 4500psi Crossfire Nitro system. A Viewloader Evolution feeds his gun, though it can hardly keep up with its appetite.

Justin has been playing tournament paintball for one full season. He played on the X Fire Novice team for the 2004 season. While playing on the Novice team, Justin played many tournaments. His team came in third in a Hogan’s Alley tournament, played many Friendly Fire Tournaments, came in fourth at the last PNL tournament of the season and had enough points to finish the PNL Series in 6th place.

For the 2005 season, Justin is playing for the X Fire 7-Man Intermediate Team. He is looking forward to competing in this new aspect of paintball.

He plays a mid/front position but is capable of shooting it out in the back, if the situation calls for it.

“If you let me shoot you in the leg, then you won’t feel the 10 balls that I just put on your back”
