BLACK KINGS

The Black Kings tactical paintball team is the only magazine fed paintball team in Las Vegas, Nevada. And have six dedicated teammates. The Kings originally started out as MIB.

The Originals:

Jesus “Loco” Carvajal; one of our main tacticians, having three years of experience in paintball has a tremendous amount of skill with military tactics along with the ability to read and find weaknesses with opposing teams. His play style is a blend of support and assault. He uses the Tiberius Arms T15 and a T8.1 as a backup.

In the beginning Loco ran a Tippmann 98 with minor upgrades. Greatly enjoying the sport, he wanted more out of it, he wanted the sport to evolve in a more milsim form.

Seeing the team, MIB at the time, he wanted in. Hooked now, Loco has grown to be a force to be reckoned with, especially in the Southern California area.

Next Hector “Deadpool” Austad; played for nine years and found himself starting at Camp Pendleton. Jumping in feet first starting with a Tippmann A5, he charged into playing paintball.

Evolving his play style many times over, in which he still finds himself doing. Changing his load out with the Black Kings from running dual pistols to three pistols, then to a pistol and rifle setup. And then to a PDW. He has become a jack of all trades.

His ambition is to give the sport of paintball a big spot in the sports world. Being recognized in the online community, Deadpool is known all around.

Last of the originals Cody “Radar” Volk. Having the most experience, playing for 14 years, is the only teammate to play in the SPPL.

Graduating from a simple JT marker to Tippmann. Then from there to SmartParts, and transitioned to a Tac 8 pistol. Even now running a Tiberius Arms T15, he finds himself going back to his roots using a pistol. His main load out changes depending on the role he needs to fill. But excels at doing what he does best, recon.

Radar is known for his master recon work. These skills at Fulda Gap for the past two years have caught the eye of MUD (Mag-fed United Division). Starting on the East coast, Radar took the name MUD to the Pacific.
