Worst Paintball Bruise ?

[Ando]

It was probably the aftermath of some ramping little bastard on the field. Not to mention he was probably shooting over 300fps or Cockerpunk just bruises easily...

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

I remember the one time I was shot there....I got hit, called my self out and walked off the field. Then I looked where I got hit and thought wow I'm surpised that doesn't hurt more. Then all of a sudden the pain hit me in a wave and I went down.
Kinda like when the coyote ran off the edge of a cliff and didn't fall till he looked down.

that was living ledgends final battle.

went over the top 5 times. 600 odd poeple shooting at you the second you pop up over the top ... it doesn't end well. i counted well over a 100 hits.

This was the result of an Iron Man game. Basically you play till you can't handle the pain or until you are out of paint.

At one point during the game I was a human shield for about 3 players. One of which kept shooting me in the arm from 2 feet away. Most of these shots were from 20-30 feet away.



Notice the with shirt and without shirt picture. My shirt only has 1 paint splatter on on the back. But my skin tells a different story...

And I was 20-30 feet away from Smooth... in both pics.

Thats what you get for shooting marbels.

terrible pic, but...



this was from about 12 years back. some guy had been bunny bashing with is 98 and never bothered to turn the velocity back down. i snuck up behind him and told him to surrender from 10' away. he said "ok, ok, ok" put his hands and gun up, turned around to face me, and then opened fire.

the picture was taken after it quit bleeding. the round put a hole in that t-shirt i was wearing and tore a dime sized chunk of skin off my chest. the faint, but wide orange ring you see around the pink and red is actually swollen skin. within just a few minutes of being hit, it looked as though someone had stuck a golf ball under the skin right there.

that was the last time i've ever offered anyone the chance to surrender for any reason.

Turtle Cap from 100th Monkey is an awesome accessory.

Camo Turtle Cap

I will not play without mine now.

Aside from the 3 hits to the top of the dome administered by Trina at TB3 when I mistakenly thought the wall was clear at the Alamo and tried to rush into the door, I have not had ANY welts since I started wearing it.

The reason for wearing it in the first place - 6 shots of Nelson Hotspot from less than 10 ft away that left me dizzy and puking all evening. Unfortunately don't have pics but my dome was very bumpy!

Aside from that - I was knocked out at one of the Michigan Monster Games. I was carrying the aluminum airplane frame that nobody could shoot you when you were holding onto it - someone didn't get the memo. Walked by a building and some guy popped up in the window - shot me right in the temple from less than 6' away. I collapsed on the metal frame and came too a few seconds later. This was the shining moment where I decided I would ALWAYS wear side shields on my goggles (Old JT Spectra goggles) My face did a similar swelling thing as yours, but I don't recall getting a black eye from mine.

Was this a shot you took wearing your new Dye goggles? Can we see a pic of the goggles on your face? Seems like that area should have been covered by most goggles...

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

Not my back but a friends, got bunkered by a guy shooting hot. I felt so bad because this was his first time out, and right before this game we had convinced him to shed 3 of the 5 fleece jackets he was wearing. Even though it was 85 degrees outside, he put them right back on before the next game.

[Spider-TW]

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

Looks better now tho.

Be careful with that kind of hit. I saw a guy get one in the temple from a fair distance and it dropped him straight down. He was still conscious, but the ref had to help him up and off the field because he couldn't find his feet. Don't skimp on that side protection. That's half the game anyway.

I went to TX Ball 2010 and all I got was this lousy bruise on my left bicep.

a month or so ago I got shot on my left bicep... it wasnt a hot shot or anything, and the next day it looked just like that. Almost looked like i was hit with a bat or something. it was probably 5+ inches in diameter.

Those mystery bruises have happened to me before too. I took a bounce off the left thigh a couple months ago and it was a 3 inch purple spot for almost three weeks. Never even hurt that much, and I don't easily bruise.
