Does Paintball Hurt?

April 8, 2009 1:28pm CST
I was thinking of trying out paintballing and taking my boyfriend out so we can do somthing different. But I think we are both a little wussy that it might really hurt hehe. Unless they give you like some clothes to wear that stop you from getting any bruises. Its just because I saw this Jack As* movie and it had him getting hit by paintballs but he was naked xD But it looks so painfull!Anways, Does it hurt? Or know of anyone who has said it hurts?

i think it all depends on your pain tollerance. if you can take more pain any other time then this should not effect you. if it is your first time then expect to get some welts. but if you are good you won't even get hit, so set that as your goal. if you have played a few time, and the more you play the less you feel it.

I agree, you will not mind the pain if you have high pain tolerance. Anyway, you will only feel the pain just for a mins. Also when adrenaline is rushing over your body, you'll surely enjoy and wont mind the pain it will cause you. ;)

hi, im playing paintbll 3 4 times a week!its not that bad, i think, ok for the girls i think its..... but if you have got the good equipment than you can play without problems! the adrenalin rush is so big that you cant feel anything(ex. wen you are hit with a paintball) but dont go play if you dont like the sport:)

Kinda hurt depends on its range. If you hit in a little closer range, it will surely do hurt and leave a mark like a size of a quarter dime size. :D Airsoft on the other hand, just like paintball but using smaller type of ammo, it gives little pain not like paintball, but who cares, you will surely enjoyed both sports. Love the adrenaline it gives. No pain No gain. =)

If you want it to not hurt here is what you need to do. Don't go out and just be waiting to get hit. If that's all your thinking about, Yeah of course its gonna hurt. When I play tournaments I try to keep my adrenaline going. All I think about is shooting the opponents before they shoot me. I generally don't even know when I've been hit if I can keep my adrenaline going unless I've been shot in the mask. So next time you go paintballing, just get pumped. Hope that helps. Shoot, Kill, Win

It can hurt regardless of the clothing they give you to wear, and it can still leave bruises. But it's not too bad if you are a far distance away from eachother. But still, it's a ball of paint being shot at you, of course it's going to hurt some, haha. I refuse to go, but my boyfriend and his friends go often, and they get hurt. But they survive, it's not like the worst pain ever. Just bring some painkillers with you, lol :)
