how much does it hurt?

it will leave a welt i know a gril who is ten and plays

my friend who isnt that good at paintball and is small and has a low threshold of pain said that he uses a life jacket and puts a shirt over it and he says it dont hurt a bit but he gets called a pansy and stuff all teh time

pretty much like everyone else says, if your having a good time and your getting really into it you will only notice it the first time you get shot.  maybe you wont even notice it right away.  this is all because of addrenaline (sp).  the more fun you have, the less it hurts.  so go have a terrible time, just for me

iT HuRTs So BaD THaT You JuSt WaNNA FaLL DoWN aND Die,THeN PLeaD FoR YouR Foe To FiNiSH You oFF,To PuT You out oF YouR DeeP MiSeRy aND SoRRoW,aS You SLoWLy DRoWN iN SeLF HaTe FoR eVeR CoMiNG To THiS HoRRiD PLaCe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........but you'll get over it in a few mins, and after the first time, its not so bad.

If you just started it hurts about as much as looking at benmorse's avatar

after you get hit once youll never want to play again lol just kidding iff your really concerned go to your local John Claude Penoir "JC pennys" and pick up a puffy goose down vest that prevents you from getting hit dead in the sternum not only does it hurt like hell but its dangerous too but everyones right adrenaline makes a big difference to my suggestion is have a friend throw rocks at you while jumping of the world trade center into a pack of rabbit wolverines while osama is flying a plane into u thatll do it  

i made a post do i get a cookie?

Everybody is missing a few facts.

1) Getting hit by a paintball is no where near as painfull as a bee sting.

2) Along with the stinging sensation that lasts for a few seconds, there is also a feeling of high pressure. Think of it as getting punched then slapped at the same time in the same place. Only the mark will be no bigger than a quarter and the pain 100x less.

mindboggling

less than a bee sting (i got stung yesterday doing yardwork ).

If I had to describe it... It's like a charlie horse, but with a little more sting, and it doesn't hurt afterwards. It's only about 3 seconds of pain. The more brutal ones will hurt for a minute or so, but you get over it in the heat of the next game.

It's nothing to be scared of. I think Airsoft BBs hurt worse... So do BB guns with steel BBs. I shot myself in the leg once to see what it felt like, lol.

Don't try to put too many layers on... It makes you less flexible in a game. I go with the Dye pants and a sleeveless shirt made of Climalite (i think that's the name. in simple terms, a semi-fancy workout shirt.)

Edit: worst place I've been hit is the neck, but I haven't bought a neck protector yet, so it doesn't worry me too much. Paintballs seem to bounce off my crotch with my dye pants, lol.

Buying a gun before you play? Not smart.
