Worst Paintball Bruise ?

[elgalloblanco]

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

DAAAANG!
Which game did you pick that one up?

[Flatliner333]

Not real sure ...it didnt really hurt it just looked like Dammit.

Similar to the other bicep shot, but larger:

Modded Dye I4

So along with picking up a thick sweat band to go under my one size fits all military style
hat, I decided to mod my I4 mask a bit for a little more forehead protection.
I got Profilers and other similar VForce masks all over the place.
So I took the visor off one and stuck it on the I4.
Looks a little goofy from the side but I'm going with it.
My forehead is still sore after a weeks time, not to mention the black eye is just now starting to slowly fade away
(the black eye eventually got twice as bad as the pic shows) .

I've noticed my v-force visor cuts down on the top air flow, especially with a head wrap on. I put some holes in the visor for a fan and decided to just try the holes for a while before adding the fan.

Wasn't me but one time I shot a kid in the jugular and he turned purple in the face, then blue

Pic was taken a good hour after I was hit.



Shot by a guy shooting 320 at the muzzle, LL2, didn't even hear the report but we could hear the balls wizzing by us. Sucked.
I remember wiping the hit and looking at my hand. My first thought was "this guy is using illegal paint, it's supposed to be white fill not pink fill", and I called a ref over.
Wiped again, second thought "that's wierd, it's only pink in a few spots".
Wiped a third time, realised what happened, grabbed my towel and pressed it to my neck. Ref asked if I was ok, I said yes as long as he caught the guy who shot me. He asked a few people around me if they saw what happened, he ran off in the direction of the guy who shot me.

Ref saw me later, guy was shooting 320, got his card punched. I was happy.


Ouch at some of those bruises, are people all hemophelliac or something?

[Richter]

[cockerpunk]

looks like just got done playing x ball

xball doesn't even compare, having played many days of Xball, it is nothing near as terrible as that.

[gunman_2000]

had a bruise about the size of a golf ball for 8 months once on my thigh.
Game started, we were rushing, I couldn't even see anyone yet, and I felt this horrible burning pain on my thigh, looked down, and I was hit. Someone was clearly shooting hot. After 6 months the purple colour went away, then 2 months later it was finally all gone.

So I finally have a pretty good one. The best description I can give is that looks like a 1" diameter red circle, with another half inch of yellowish bruising around that, then another 3" past that of general purple bruising. All that is raised up about 1/2" from the regular part of the skin.

I was clearing a building that I thought only had 2 people in it, when I left the building a 3rd poped out and shot me in the lower (REALLY lower) back from about 3 feet away. It seems he didn't know proper ettiquette for surrendering people because he shot and spoke at the same time. I would post a pic but due to the location of the bruise I don't think it falls within the realm of non-nudity. Plus I'm not crazy about having pictures of my business all over the internet.

This is a good one! watch the end when he takes his shirt off,

He did that for a case of paint, the guy that did that in their last gauntlet video got a rotor lol. I wonder how he felt the next morning.

I got one right in the jugular a few years back, my girlfriend gave me hell cuz she thought it was a hickey!!!!

I played two 40min games of X-ball, multiple matches per game and only suffered a few noticeable hits. Most of the time you get hit on the mask or gun. I played about 4 individual games of X-ball in an unreffed practice session later, and counted over 40 hits on me after, including 7 on the back of my head and behind the mask from being shot after I was walking out. They were the ones that hurt the most. They have a tendency to swell.
