My friends and I play about twice a week. I had been on a nice little hotstreak of not getting hit, probably about 5 games long, until our last game. The game we were playing is like a modified center flag, but we had to take the flag back to our own base once we got it. We only had 4 guys that day, so it was obviously 2 on 2. My partner and I had pretty good positions, and I was even with the flag, about 15 feet away. As my partner fired some cover I took off and grabbed the flag and went to hide behind a car hood, but over ran it. I kept low to the ground trying to crawl back to the barrier while firing at the opponent to my direct left, about 50 feet away. But my entire body was exposed to my other opponent who was about 30 ft away. They put a few shots into me, and even though I didn't really call myself out, they saw that the paint had broken and they stopped firing. I layed there for about a minute before getting up and going inside (it was our last game anyway).

Here are some pics that we took:

Our next game is on Saturday :D

Whoa! I have that exact same barrel! Is it the ceramic J&J for a model 98?

I've seen seen someone get shot bare skin right into the arm from about 10 ft away. It looked like a crater, the middle there was still skin, but on the rim of the impact, there was plenty of blood and ooze. Not pretty.

Thick jeans usually stop paintballs pretty well, although once I was playing in the rain and it was really foggy so I couldnt see and I walked right by a guy with an automatic, who creamed the side of me pretty well. It hurt... a lot.

I know some guys who freeze their paint balls, not good for the barrel but trust me you go down quick!

it's smart parts :)

Dude, that's why you should play at a real field or invest in a chronograph. I've been hit like 10 times from 20 feet and all together i didn't get a welt as bad as that one on your back.

I played last saturday in shorts and got hit in the legs 2x and i didnt even have a mark the next day.

My setups: Kapp Flame Matrix
"the hotness"

Euro Xmag (crappy pics)

and my sick bushy i gotta sell



Dude, take play at a field with no camos on and the hits dont hurt or leave marks, i promise :)

That J&J was off of my friend's Mini-Mag. I currently am running a 98C, but will be getting a 2K3 VF Cocker pretty soon. Just gotta sell my 98 first.

H34D0N, I would love to play some time.... but you live in Florida.
