Does here play paintball? (called gotcha in some countries I think) What kind of equipment do you have? What leve do you play? How long have you been playing? Etc...
I have all crappy stuff because i just got into it this summer. I have a crappy VL Triad marker from walmart :worried: . I only play for fun tho so its no big deal, if I got into n e tournys or n e thing i'd get a different gun! I have a JT Elite Mask & (comming soon) Thermal Lenses. I have a 20 oz Pure Energy Co2 Tank. I have the worst hopper in the world, the VL Quantum :depressed: ...absolutly horrible... I only play for fun and have only been playing since this summer (and once this winter). I cant think of n e other questions but if you can feel free to shout em out (or just type them) :cap: .

I play regularly at paintball centres, but I don't have any of my own equipment or anything like that. It is really good fun though.

Yeah, i went during the summer and one of the paintballs went through the little mask and hit my cousin in the face.

Well ure cousin either wasn't wearing a paintball mask, wasn't wearing it right, or it was a strange shot cause that doesnt happen very often.

It was a weird mask. The part where you breath through looked like a football helmets cage. It had metal bars where the paintball could easily go theough.

I played Paintball for a while but I quit because my gun broke and im sure as hell not gonna waste money on expensive ***ken paintball guns.
I still have a bruise from my first time ever hit by a paintball, which was 6 months ago.

That's the only part I'm not looking forward to - getting all shot up and dealing with bruises.

If you get hit by a paintball, how long does the bruise stay on you??

Depends where, from how far away, and if you bruise easily. Most don't last longer than over night. If they do they can last from anywhere from a week to a couple months. It's not bad tho, and you can tell good stories :p

I play every once in a while, usually with a Spyder Imagine :)

Yup! Tipman and a Spyder, one's mine, the other's my brothers!
I usually don't get shot, because I usually only play at my friends house (and I know their land really well) and know all the good hiding places, so I'm the one that gets them!
The worst place I ever got shot was in the neck from about 10ft away. Everybody from the opposing team was out, and we were all walking back to the base (to re-equip) and Brandon, the guy who said he was out but wasn't, shot me in the neck, and I didn't have a face mask on or nothing...That hurt like hell.

Saber I gotta say that was dumb of the kid to shoot you with out a mask on. If that hit you in the eye you could have gone blind or die... Just be careful next time. We don't need any news articles about people getting blinded from paintball. It's working on getting a better public image.
