SWAT Socially – Paintball in Brazil

Want to see the (real) face of SWAT Brazil ? John and I went on a trip to Brazil very recently, and joined the team for a paintball battle and an excellent post-war dinner at Braz – arguably the best chain of pizzerias on the planet. This post is mostly pictures, putting a face on the Brazilian SWAT team. You may have seen the movie “Elite Squad”, or “Tropa de Elite” as it is known in Brazil.  The contestants in the epic paint-ball battle in Morumbi were certainly inspired by the movie…

    I also think it was a tie…whats this with the yellow team being the victors…. ? :)

  • Jacques van Niekerk

    @John @Tadeu ….pen and sword and all that. But i will admit – the red team won SOME of the battles. 50% of them, if you absolutely insist on extreme numerical accuracy.
