bruise expert.
I can, wihout a doubt, say that I am the expert on bruising. I bruise REALLY easy. When I play on a big game day, I sometimes may get hit 10-20 times per game (six or seven games a day) tring to do objectives or something. So my body looks like a connect the dots.
Paintball bruises are called compression injuries. Meaning that your skin acts as a trampoline for the ball to hit. My skin just happens to bruise and bleed easy under the surface, so alot of times on a "hot" hit, i will get a four or five inch bruise. They look bad, but they don't hurt at all.
Since I've been playing speedball, I rarely get hit in the body anymore, its mostly barrel and hopper shots.
So for me speedball is a less damaging game.
If you keep getting shot in the exact same area over and over, you may form scar tissue under the skin that lead to cysts. I haven't had any of those, but a friend of mine did. He hit an area that had already been bruised by a softball injury, and a cyst formed on it.. It was pretty nasty getting that cut out.
