Worst Paintball Bruise ?

[going_home]

Whats the worst paintball bruise you've ever had ?
(post a pic if you gottee)

Saturday took a very close proximity couple of forehead shots thru a military one size fits all type cap.
Goose egg city. Iced in between games.
Next day the eye started getting a bit black.
This morning worse.




Needless to say, even though its still pretty warm here in sunny Florida, I'm on a mission
to find meself a nice thick beanie.

Where's that pic of Cyberave from Tunaball 3?
Seriously, I think he has a vitamin deficiency

GH, that sucks
I've taken a shot between my hat and top of my mask before but nothing that looked like that.

My worst bruise is usually my pride but damn that actually might be an improvement GH

I got drilled pretty good in the temple this past PIU. Looked like a 3rd eye.

Looks better now tho.

Yeah it swelled out a good half inch, it looked bad right after it happened.
I was in a good spot right on the tape line where advancing enemy couldnt see me.
And had already surrendered one guy.
I could have lit this kid up because he didnt know I was there.
I knew there was a lot of new players out so being the nice guy I am I told him to surrender and he lit me up.
The sun was glaring on me goggles, if I'd seen his Ego I would have just shot him.
We were both prone.

Needless to say nice guys finish last, and even though knowing lots of new players were out,
and I did do the right thing.....I wont be surrendering anyone ever again

Got clocked by a first strike round at 40' once. My girlfriend wanted to draw eyes and a mouth on my welt, she said "it'd look more normal"

Took a shot from about 8-10 feet away, when one of my friends rushed into the castle when he wasn't supposed to. Nailed me right in the back, by my left shoulderblade.

If you don't mind wearing a helmet of sorts you can always pick up a Pro-Tec A-Alpha Half Shell... I wear one for night games because I hate catching a paintball to the melon after dark... They are vented very well and lets a nice breeze flow through... I live in TN and play also down around Tampa Fl from time to time when visiting my in-laws who live there...

Here is a pic of the one I wear for night games


There are other players that I know that wear one all day because they hate catching bouncers to the melon as well...

Here's a link if you are interested : http://www.protechelmet.com/proddeta...d=4811931HSmil

Hope that helps with the melon protection if not try a Hundredth Monkey Turtle Cap : http://hundredthmonkeypaintball.com/...=cap&col=black

Now to stay on topic the worst for mine would have to be one I caught in the inside left bicep at OK D-Day in '08... Turned the whole inside of my bicep a nice bright red to purple color and took a month for it to go away...

Yowser...I don't think I've ever been hit in the head so bad that my eye bruised. That looks painful.

I regrettably never took a picture of my worst paintball bruise. It happened just this year. I got shot out and I raised my hands up, calling myself out. I got bonus-balled about 4 times, including one to my fingertip with no gloves on. My finger swelled up like a grape.

I've had my junk turn purple because of some painful shots. You'd think Id learn to wear a cup after that.

It turned a few shades darker by the next week...

Hey Twilight heres your vitamins...

[cockerpunk]

more like lots of bruises.

[Ando]

O'my Christ!?!?!?

Can you say overkill

[wimag]

more like if you get that shot up you must really suck at paintball. get a tan Casper

I hope this was from one of your tests, cockerpunk. If you get shot this many times in a normal day of play I think you should stop dispensing paintball advice. j/k :P
