Super-tip-extraordinaire: Paintballs bounce of water!

it doesnt hurt too much, you might get a bruise but its part of the fun, just don't try going rambo unless you want to get shot, some bloke done that and he got shot from three different directions

I done that and won the game for my team :cool:

its not nice whena paint ball hits the slats through which you breath, bursts and the paint goes in ** mouth!! it happened so many times!

and someone dislocated their arm trying to rambo it all over the place

BUT ITS AWESOME!

have fun

Omg it hurts liek so much. My supple geeky complection got haxored.

Nah, be a man. Pain is just weakness leaving the body and it really doesn't hurt.

Unless it's in the face....with no mask on :/

They taste like anti-freeze so I've been told lol, obviously it's in there to stop people freezing the balls.

Avoid being shot at point blank range by some tard who forgot to put the safty on and left the bung in, now that bloody hurt.

Sirrel Squirrel · 22 May 2006 at 20:25

Also don't keep firing when you run out of ammo, a lot of people can tell you have run out of ammo by the noise, I saw one guy do it then one of my team mates just started running over to him laughing out loud all the way, the guy surrended lol.

Desmo · 22 May 2006 at 20:25

Wehey, you'll have a great laugh

I'm off again in a few weeks on my mates stag do. Gonna be superb

georges · 22 May 2006 at 20:33

Make sure you pop a few covert shots at the marshalls. They love it

Grenades in buildings are great fun..

At the one near me, theres a "map" with trenches round the sides and a village in the centre(wooden chipboard walls etc)... Loads in one building.. pain nade.. funny as hell watching them all walk out coated in paint

Good stuff.

Don't buy smoke grenades they suck. Just buy a load of balls and you're set. Remember, if you survive on the last round, everyone gives you theirs.

question, who on earth would try tasting anti-freeze :s

hyper_piper45 · 22 May 2006 at 20:38

My advice is take some gloves. Getting shot in the hand hurts especially if its cold.

not got a clue lol but someone got paint in their mouth and said it tasted sweet and the marhsall said it was the anti-freeze.

Or! hold the gun so the paint popper is upside down fire a few shots off nothing will come out when said person comes running into the open thinking he's got an easy kill turn gun right side up and let him have it

worked many a time for me! also take some fairy liquid for your goggles when you get hot they steam up badly, smear some liquid on the inside and just dry off with some clean tissue any steam just goes to little water droplets

never take your goggles off but importantly enjoy! only way of explaining how it hurts is to get a plastic ruler and slap yourself very hard!! thats failry close

Hilly · 22 May 2006 at 21:11

It doesn't really hurt that much ! You don't notice it at the time... does leave a few marks though as you can see from this "fresh" picture:

I've linked to it, for the squirmish people

DJammyRasta · 22 May 2006 at 22:14

in the heat of the moment i shot a guy at point blank range in the top of the head... he was none to pleased

paintballs sting if its cold and they dont break... but just enough to make u not want to get shot they wont actually do any damage

dont expect pinpoint accuracy with ** gun... the paintballs go a lot slower than bullets so expect to have to modify ** aim a reasonable amount when firing at distance... they are quite large so u should be able to walk ** fire onto ** target

Wear mountain biking or motocross gloves - padded across the knuckles but not too thick on the palms
