I've been meaning to post this for a few days now.
So I was at the field on Saturday with my best friend and some other guys for my friend's bachelor party. A couple hours into the game my friend's nitro tank has a minor incident and goes down for the rest of the day. So, being the nice guy I am, I loan him the E-Mag and I set about taking pictures. I take of my Flex-7 and done my VForce Ref Goggles (all yellow) and head out with my pack off and my digital camera in hand.
Well, I start moving around from area to area trying to take picutres. I stay out of lines of fire and remain visible at all times so everyone can see I don't have a gun. Whenever I move I protect the camera with both arms so nothing happens to it. Every once in a while I take a few shots from someone that doesn't know I'm not playing, which is all fine and good, I don't mind. Then, when I'm kneeling in the wide open, behind nothing, with my camera up to take a picture it happens. Some kid about 30 feet away starts blasting me. I mean he just keeps shooting and shooting and shooting. I immediatly cover the camera so nothing happens to it and just sit there screaming "I'm out" "I'm hit" "Stop Shooting". The guy I was taking a picture of realizes what's happening and starts yelling at the kid to stop and waving his arms (I'm not waving mine because I'm protecting the camera). Because I'm not obstructed by anything this kid is just wailing on, hitting me with almost every shot he fires. Also because I'm unonstructed any idiot should be able to tell I've been hit a few dozen times. I was yelling so much that he managed to get a few shots (I guess) under the visor and hit me near the mouth, causing a fat lip and some pressure cuts. The ref finally notices what's happening and starts yelling at the kid to stop. At this point there are 6 people yelling at him (nobody moving, the guys playing the game are worried about being blasted and the ref looks like he got hit with a phaser set to stun).
Finally the kid stops shooting, when he runs out of rounds in his hopper.
I start yelling at him, now having been hit with over 100 paintballs from 30'. I'm no pansy but that's a lot of shots to take. Even if I was playing the game that's a lot of overshooting. Now, I didn't threaten him or anything like that, but I did use my fair share of profanity. The bulk of my screams were "WTF were you doing?" and stuff like that. The kids father looked at me coming out and looked like he wanted to say something but I gave him the good ole' 'Stare and shake the head' and he knew that accosting me at the moment was probably going to get him killed. So he left it at that and just shot looks my way every once in a while. Mean while, more surface area of my body has welts then doesn't. Man I was annoyed.
