I shot my self point blank, less than an inch from my stomach, with a paper wasp to see how a paintball would feel. If it is like that but further away and I have more layers on, I'll be fine.

try it, and you deside. Thats how i figured it out. It also depends on how much pading you have on. hope this helps

p.s. if you don't know what marker to get go with the tippmann 98 custom they are awsome markers for all players!

Don't play with people who have not chronographed their markers.

If you keep it below 300 paintball bruises are tolerable.

Its a little less then a rubber band snap. I think a bee sting says it best. A little pain for 10 seconds tops. Don't worry about the pain. When you are playing the rush and adrenilne will overcome any feeling.

The more you worry and think about it, the more it will hurt. Just get it into your head that it doesnt hurt that much and youll be fine.

It depends. Obviously, the closer you are to the gun your being shot with the more it will hurt. It hurts differant amounts depending on where your shot also. Some places you barely feel it, but in the hands, ribs or neck hurt quite a bit. its not bad, i woudlnt worry.
More balls than most

Only thing I think is uncomfortable / painful is getting shot in neck / Adams Apple. You might choke a lil' but looks like you got a hickey . I said in the Non Poll post not to worry about it. So take my advice : Go out there , be safe , and have fun.

A paintball feels like getting hit by a car. Thats why I quit. I broke my finger when it got shot. I pissed in my pants.

^ what he said..........it doesn't hurt too bad in a game b/c you are pumped up from playing.  Usually find myself angry/disappointed from being out, but not from being hurt when hit.
