Yes it does bruise and it does hurt.
Same. I would wear much clothes for padding though
Dress up like the Michelin Man
Got 8 tickets ready for 7 lucky friends to go for my 21st in June. Can't Wait. Only cost me £50 as well.
To answer that question is would have to answer YES!!!!! the first time i played i was scared like everyone else about the bruises and getting hit but once the game started, the adrenoline took over and had an amazing time and have been addicted to it ever since.
Introducing different types of guns might be an idea. A slower rate of fire would lead to far better games imo.
Yeah i agree with you on the paintballs. they are the biggest rip off in the world.... not really though. but there are different types of guns and not only those that fire 20 balls per second, there are pumps and semi autos that can only fire so fast. Pumps are a lot more skill because you have to place your shot right because you have limited amount, its all about accuracy.
I remember my mates stag do and for the final game we played hunt the stag. Stripped him down to his undies, stuck a mask on him and gave him a 2 minute head start. You should have seen the bruises on his back, chest, legs, arms, ...........
Can't remember how much it was though, think it was expensive to buy more paintballs though. Didn't think the grenades were that effective though!
It was a bloody funny experience. We were all bruised to hell! And *unfortunetly for me* though a mistake and a bad aim, I got hit on the mask I had on... I couldnt see for paint and the force of it hitting the mask gave me a black eye :impissed:
The girls won though!
Yeah i know i really enjoy playing. its always a great stress reliever and agression release. YEah the paintballs arent cheap for the really good ones or for field paintball but they are a heck of a lot cheap than they were when painbtball started out. yeah the grades dont seem that great, they seem to just spray paint and now explode.
About the black eye thing.... was the mask too tight? or was it just not padded around the eyes? i know all of the masks i have worn have padded areas on the inside around the lens.
I have seen quite a few girls that can kick the guy's butts at a few games of paintball. they can get behind smaller things and be sheltered easier than the normal guy can. as for me i can say the bruises and momentary pain is well worth the experience.
Hahaha, girls are better at the game, they're sneakier
Your mate sounds a bit old fashioned.... sort of "its not a womans place to be taking part in violent games"?? I won't judge though. Us girls were better when we went
You wish. In my experience they got shot more, and they whinge about it more. True.
But that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it? Paintballs a good craic because everybody can do it - blokes, birds, kids, dead granny's etc
Of course they get wasted their first game, like almost everyone does. but after that first game and they get the hang of it, the ones ive seen are perdy crazy and can hide behind a lot smaller cover.
I wen once ... the bruises lasted about 3 weeks though :eek2:
