      I wore my profilers with nothing on my head before while it was raining and another with moisture to have it being a huge pain. I used it this weekend at a tourny when it was really dry to work wonderfully with a headband and a flydana or whatever those things are called.

        i think you need a freakin reality check if yur really all that worried about gettin hit in the mouth or nose, if you get hot shotted (a good hot shot) to the temple that is the easiest way to cause a brain hemmorhage and kill you and or blind you in the eye of your choice , have fun cap'n morgan

          It doesnt have to be a hot shot to do the damage. Try a string of 3 to 5 or more right up the side or back of head at 280 to 300 fps. at 5 to 15 ft. They want us to replace our lenses after a hit at 15 ft. What about my head.

          Hemorrhage....Whats that? Oh ya isnt that what causes welts in the first place.
          Dont tell anyone you could be killed by a hit or hits from a paintball gun. They wont believe you.

            You guys have to realize that any shot at the right angle will probably knock a mask off your head. Today I watched a tourney vid(made circa 2002) and the game was of All Americans vs. Ton Ton Flinguers. A member of the the Ton Ton's got his mask shot off by getting hit from the side, it really dropped to his chest. Bt if they were using the ghuns of today and a string was sent his way he could have been blinded.
            Just to put it into some kind of perspective.

              The moral of that story. If he was using a half mask or even goggles only the mask would have dropped farther down his face. Thus giving the other team more area to aim at.

              Summary: Half mask and goggles only SUCK.

                Some masks (ie. Proteus) now include a chin strap to hold them on better, only problem is that it makes the mask look goofy, and also is a pain in the bum to remove the mask after play. I guess you'd have to decide which is more important.

                  Instead of a new mask did you think about making the gun into a Bottom Line configuration? Thats what I do with all my pumps. Dont have any problems shouldering.

                    I'm just comfortable with the back bottle setup, thats all.

                    Doesn't really matter anymore, I've decided to put paintball aside for a while. Its really rediculous how much it costs, even when looking at the rates from when it first started. Little to be gained, really. Putting my money into something personally gratifieing (Have a fever, cant spell well); bass guitar.

                      I can tell you what happens. It will knock you silly. Most likely give you a concussion. At least that is what happened to a buddy of mine. And he wasn't even playing (he was reffing.).


                      BTW, it hurts like hell also!
