Is it true that being hit by a paint ball can actually hurt quite a bit and leave a large bruise?
Pretty sure being shot whilst wearing a vest really smarts. (according to police TV shows)
I started playing paintball in it' s infancy in the mid 1980s. Back then there were no face masks or chest armor - or any armor for that matter.
The only safety gear worn was a pair of shop goggles. I knew guys that lost front teeth from a hit to the mouth.
Also - back then paintballs would freeze - so cold weather play was not recommended.
I played many a game in nothing more than jeans, tennis shoes and a t shirt. Fortunately I have a very high tolerance for pain.
