[B]Alright, first of all I'm going to tell you guys that the tl;dr version is actually a video. So scroll down to that if you don't want to read this. [/B] Ok, my friends and I were hanging out on the weekend and were pretty bored. Usually we like to do at least one stupid or odd thing when we're together. Well this time it was paintballing. We started by getting a CO4 (or 2?) tank so we could shoot. Well after a little ordeal, which I won't go into, we could start. I was supposed to go first. I'd boasted about wanting to go first and get it over with. Well, we shot off a couple test shots to see the power. Guys, I pussied out big time. "No Edgar, why don't you go first". So we're going, and Edgar, then Eric go. Both make it seem like it hurts. Ah well, I have to go now. Well before I go further, I need to tell you guys about our little pact. We agreed that if you got shot in the head, or neck, or anywhere in that region, you get to take a free swing at the offender. Yup, you guessed it. First I hear a sharp whizz past my ear as the first paint pellet flies past my ear. "Oh shit", Im thinking, "maybe I should rethink this". Too late. Right in the neck I get a fat yellow paint mark. No, I didn't hit him. Anyway from there we just keep on shooting, two hits a piece. I got shot in the wrist the second time. What really pissed me off was that after all that, my battle scars were invisible in the after-pictures. Great, now Im stuck looking like I got a hicky, and I get no credit. Overall, it was a great day though. Each of us had a nice little feature in the video: Eric (the guy with the beanie but no shirt) was closer than both of us so his wounds were bleeding for a couple days, making him a beast; Edgar (big guy) performed what possibly was the funniest dance ever at that time when he got hit; and of course I got hit in the neck. Getting hit with the paintball didn't hurt as much as I thought it would at first. It was just like getting stung by a bee. But as time went on, it started to burn more and more as rain pitter-pattered on them. Anyway, thanks for reading, or watching, or whatever you're gonna do.

Paintball isn't about pain, it's about tactics and overcoming the opposing team. Anyone who says "ITS PAINFUL I AM A MAN!" Is a masochist.
I don't wear shirts when I play. But it also isn't point blank, and we're actually playing a game.
Did it for my birthday, it's hell of fun, the rush is awesome you really don't even notice the pain. Of course until 2 days later and you have purple spots forming on you.

We're going to try to get a team together once we get jobs. We were just standing there.Nothing tactical about it. It wasn't really about the pain, it was mainly for the experience.
I got a a good amount of paintball gear myself, but i don't know anyone that plays anymore. I hate moving all the time. As for the people that buy guns and just take turns shooting each other with no shirt...it's just plain stupid.
You must be a huge dumbass if you go paintballing without a shirt or proper overall cover
oh my that was a horrible idea
this whole thread is dumb
Holy crap, your whiter than the KKK :tinfoil:
The guy at the left in the end of the video, I can't help but feel that you all are jealous of his sexiness.
Brotip: Never fry bacon in the buff, either.

nice laughs
Dude, if you can't take the welts then play airsoft or laser tag, I play with a thin bandolier vest and no sleeves when i woodsball, or a thin dye jersey in speedball.

I hope you get hit in the eye for not wearing a mask... dumbass.
I felt my IQ drop watching this video.
You killed paintball with that story. [editline]12:38AM[/editline] Also, paintballs do not hurt that much. I've been playing since I was 10 and even then it did not hurt enough, except first time when I cried a little :crying: . Seriously though, paintballs are too puny. Play speedball, it doesn't hurt :smile:.
What the fuck? It's like playing baseball, but instead of playing baseball, you take turns hitting each other with the bats the see who can "stand the pain and be a man" the longest.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;19970873]Paintball isn't about pain, it's about tactics and overcoming the opposing team. Anyone who says "ITS PAINFUL I AM A MAN!" Is a masochist.[/QUOTE] It's about going out into the woods into a proper organised area with some guns that shoot paint, getting some overalls and a mask on then having a run about with your mates while having a proper giggle.

That's not how you do it.
Rednecks spreading north aye. Bunker up.
I actually play paintball. You killed my favorite sport with this thread. Unrelated noteI play with t-shirts on. My setup is the Promaster, witha halo hopper and a CO2 gas tank. I am that sexsy. :D
Paintballing with only helmet, normal t-shirt or long sleeved shirt, or a hooder. And shorts of course + shoes. That equals awesomeness. Only true Paintball nerds disagree.
i once played in crosscountry shorts and underarmor. was p intense. [editline]01:12PM[/editline] i've also played in the snow a few times... not so fun. especially when you play ctf with unlimited hits and decide to give your friend your gun and sprint to the front screaming wildly.

Sir I think you are a pussy.
CO4? Seriously? This is why we have protective gear. It's idiots like you who make this sport look bad. Sometimes I'm ashamed to call myself a paintballer.
