It all depends on the velocity of the gun, distance, and type of paintball. If you get anything, you'll have a welt about the size of a paintball which will last a day or so.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

at that distance, with a shirt, maybe a redish-purple bruise. any closer, you may get a little purple and blue welt. it should sting for a second or 2, but in most instances, you get over that. of course, all this depends on if your gun is set at field velocities, like 280 fps. |

You'll be fine... I was shot in the hand from point blank range...
litterally I may have some pics... For a moment I thought I lost finger
the force was so powerful... I looked down couldnt feel it due to the
numbness and all I saw was blood...

Different people just take the hit worse than others. One guy I know would get a welt the size of a baseball for a paintball hit.

my first time, i just wore jeans, sliding shorts, a t-shirt, and a jacket... depending on wear you live, you might want to replace the jacket with a longsleeve shirt. the sliding pants can go if you feel brave... getting hit in the nuts doesn't hurt that bad... |

the odds you get hit in the balls is fairly small if you use cover good.

Also about the welt thing, ive noticed that some of my friends that are a little *Heavy* (fat) w/e seem to get really small welts.. im guessin the blubber like rebounds the hits. |

Well.... If you play woods ball (in the woods) use camo clothes. A camo jacket, BDU's, cammo bandana/hat. Dont use new clothes because you will get dirty and colorful. You rarley get hit in the coin purse so I wouldn't wear a jock but, Your choice. If you dont want to spend 50 dollars on camis than jeans and an old sweater will work to. Hope I was help. EDIT-I'll post some pics of my camis...I'm bored and need somthing to do. Edited by estcstpnt - 29 June 2006 at 9:35pm |

Actually, from my experience, large padded people tend to get bigger welts that bleed. |
