That sucks. I'm betting it was one of those ignorant kids under the age of 13 too. You know the ones with all the gear and no game.

Nope i'm 14

someone got sprayed in the eye hardcore at my field.. The ball broke on the netting and all of the paint sprayed in his eyes.. Now normally this doesn't hurt.. But if you combine the fact that it was probablly dead on going at high speeds, and that he had contacts.. Something hurt alot.. His eye eneded up being bloodshot or something of the sort for a while..

Anywayes.. That gave everyone a little bit of a scare, and now our field is pretty strict about barrel condems.. I like it better that way.

I seen a guy get shot in the left eye. He is all right now.

very brave of you. shouldve done a condom seach and make them say hello to open macroline + ear


i think most problems off the field are from younger kids, while most problems on the field are "not so young people"

mid-aged new guys seem to wipe more then younger kids who tend to do a "little dance" when their hit

I'm 14, and i play by all rules and abide by them... wanna fight ... haha kidding, yah i dont even feel getting hit really anymore.

i know a kid (actually a friends little brother), who dosent play paintball, he decided to look down a barrel, to see if a ball was in the breach, guess what, there was one in there....untill it came out in his eye, he was in the hospital for a while but regained 100% of his eyesight, i thought at 200mph, a ball would just bust your eye open, espicaially at point blank, but hey

[master_alexander]

wow i'm shocked i had no idea so many people get hurt, my fields you get tackled if you take your mask off if everyone doesen't have condoms on or plugs in.

Also, be careful with guns. 3 weeks ago, a friend of mine took a gun from his friend, there was no barrel, and he accidentally pulled the trigger, the ball wizzed past the left side of my face. Just watch out guys and treat markers as they were real guns - always aim at the ground, with a tank in it or not.

What kind of gun allows for enough velocity for a wizz without a barrel...

That's just stupid.

I love the way preteens catch all the flak for every possible scenario in which someone is wronged.
