    i've always wondered, is it easy to tell when you get hit? It seems that if you were moving fast, and wearing heavy clothing, you wouldnt feel it at all. I've thought about getting into it, but paintball takes enough of my money.

        Have you actually tested this? I know at one point the Oakely rep was trying to convince us they worked fine for stopping paintballs, until we put three into them held for testing at close range.

        Just curious, your game, your eyes, I don't really care

          The airsift guys rent out indoor paintball fields to play. THey require full face masks like paintball. THe only time safty glasses are permitted are during their woods games. Even then some fields still require full face masks.

          One of the things I like abou tmy Famas... huge site rail
          Flashy colors make the gun work better!

              It depends when I am playing indoors with my wal-mart type airsoft guns that shoot slower I just use sunglasses but when I go outside I just use my paintball mask.

                do you play with air powered guns or spring? and if you play with gas what FPS do you play with?

                i have an %80 spring handgun that shoots 307 FPS, and it works fine...

                  So you have tested it? Because seriously, simply stating that safety is important to you is not enough to make it safe. Again, your choice but I would hate to think you are simply beleiving something to be safe that may very well not be

                    inside I use a crappy M4 that shoots at 180 and a spring pistol that shoots at 185. I would never us like a 300 inside at close combat like that.

                      My classic army m15a4 rifle (an electric cocking spring rifle, has been modded to a 190 spring so that it is shooting 390 (I was surprised the paintball chrono read that)

                          mine

                          yeah I have an m4-a1, its fun in the back yard, and yeahIi use 2gram bb's, it chonos somehwere around 400, the guy I got it from was a co worker and he was hardcore into it, had other coworkers who worked went on to work at a shop, I never really got into it though, just use it for shootin stuff in the back yard, its cheaper than shooting paintballs and i dont have to hunt them down like reballs, but i might be intrested in these tracer rounds and glow in the dark bb's, Ive never seen em, but its not like i ever looked either, links?
