AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I have seen those. I believe they are just for airsoft. At least the one I looked at said it was only for airsoft. You certainly won't be allowed to wear something like that at any official field. There were too many incidents of a paintball slipping up under the goggles.
LOL, I used to wear just the goggles back in the day, and that was when the velocity was 300fps everywhere. Although there wasn't anyone shooting above 6-8bps then either. I still have my old JT goggles that the area around the mouth is the only thing left, I cut everything else off the frame.
One of my buddies has been playing paintball since the paint was oil, and goggles were optional. He was struck in the ear with a direct hit, and is deaf in that ear from his eardrum being destroyed.
He actually had the color of that paint come out of his ear for years following that.
I, for one, am glad that face and head protection have gotten so much better.
