"I am gonna go to Walmart and buy a bunch of foam egg crates (the kind you put on top of your mattress) and paint them green.  Then I'll wear it as a camo suit but the paintballs will bounce off me and not break!" 

This is the future of our country.  Trying to find the loop holes instead of improving your skills.

I idn't really know where to post this, but I wanted to let you guys see this idea.

OK, first of all I just want to let you know that I’m not trying to flame you. With that said, I think that this is a bad Idea, you will stick out like a sore thumb even if you try to camo it, which means that everybody will be shooting at you and so eventually after hundreds of hits a ball that is going fast enough will find a hard enough area and break. Also, what about your face mask, you cant cover that w/ foam and that’s a pretty hard area. I think it would be better if you just played the game the way it was meant to be played.

Oh your right, I didn’t notice that, sorry. But the guy who is going to do it is an Idiot with no sense of dignity nor a true paintballer.

I know! What if, instead of preventing hits from breaking, he just got played more and got better so he didn't get hit?

Oh I agree with you....the kid is an idiot for thinking that will work.  I just thought it was hilarious and wanted to let you know what kind of people are out there. 

I agree with Lester98C.  This kid is the type that would wipe a hit off his clothes. 

People should spend more time iproving their skills instead of trying to find an easy way out.

We did at my friend's house.  From 15 feet away the ball bounced and hit A tree 10 feet to the left of him and broke.

Why shoot that person in the front if you know hes going to protected, when you can shoot that person from behind where he isnt protected....light him up from a his ass to the back of his head....bonus ball "in the back of the neck"

We had a guy running around at our field a few years ago who wore a field jacket liner that paint would bounce off of.  He never understood why everyone shot him below the waist.
