It depend on how high the velicity hurt. Its like a sting sensation.If you worry about getting hit on the field your going to get cream

Make sure everyone checks their FPS before a game. That will minimize any pain inflicted upon yourself. It will also hurt more if your shooter is using hard paint (such as Blue Streaks). Wear several thin layers of clothing and not one thick one. That will also help minimize the ouch factor. Have fun!

NML is right, if you worry about it, your going to get tense and your guarenteed to get shot.  Just have fun, some areas sting more than others but in general its not bad

if your scared on being shot, the enemy can use that against you.like if you hide behide the bunker all they have to do is shoot the bunker and you will still hide, then the will run up to you and shoot you unless you move fast enough

It hurts like a bee sting for like 5 seconds for the most part. Some areas it hurts a little worse jus because of what they are.

Word of Advice: Never breathe inward while you are getting shot point blank in the stomach or the balls. You will be hurting for much longer than 5 seconds.

It doesn't hurt that much at all. If you wear a  long sleeve shirt and heavy pants you won't really feel anything. It feels like a bee sting. It hurts a little then it goes away really fast.

OK..I was going to say. If you couldn't handle that then your a wimp. You'll be fine playing paintball. It might be a good idea to go out and rent a gun for the day before you go out and buy one. If you want to get use to being hit by paintballs get one of your friends to shoot you over and over again until you get use to it. You'll realize pretty fast that it doesn't hurt that much and you get use to getting hit pretty fast. If you do that rember you and the person shooting you wears goggles.

there are a few factors that affect the pain inflicted by a paintball

1. velocity (the higher the fps the more it hurts. i think in tournies its like 300 fps which is pretty high)
2.how close u get shot. obviously getting bunkered will hurt more than a ball shot from the oppostie side of the feild
3. stale (old) paint. stale paint can really mess u up. my friend got bunkered with stale paint 2 years ago and still has the scar to show for it. the reason it does that is, when it hits, u it doesnt brake and the impact isnt relieved so it just bounces off u. its almost like being shot by a rock. a lot of feilds make u use their paint to make sure no one is out there getting lit up by ppl with stale paint.
4. how many times u get shot. if u get hit 20 times in the neck, it definetely hurts more than it would with one hit.

a paintball feels like a whip with a leather belt with a little push on it. it lasts for about 5 secs if u get shot from the other side of the feild but if u get bunkered (shot from very close up), ull feel it all day.

good luck benmorse,

jake

edit: in response to impyking- i got a pball gun before i ever played and the first day i played i loved it.

The max is 300fps but most fields make you set it to about 280fps. 280fps gives you some room just incase you have a velocity spike.

ive never played a tourny but soon i will. i asked the owner of my local feild what the average fps is in tournies and he said "300fps" and i said "but the feilds a bigger" he said "much bigger... but u'll get shot from the same distance"

Yea I did too but it might not have been a smart idea. What if I went there and hated it. I wasted $225 on something that I'll never end up using again. If he's so unsure whether or not he'll like paintball I think he should rent a gun first. He might end up wasting his money.

Well I guess your field is different. In the tourneys I've played in they made you use what ever speed you were shooting as long as it wasn't over 300fps. Most of use were shooting around 280 and 290fps.

The pain is similar to getting hit with a rubber band (Close range). It stings for a second then goes away. Though there are many factors that determine the overall "Pain" level. Velocity (speed at which the paintball is traveling), Distance (How far you are from the person who is shooting you) and where you are hit. For example- getting hit on the hand it more painful then getting hit on the bottom of you leg. Don't dread it, though all of us did. You can be rest assured that you'll have a great time.

the first time you get hit, it kinda startels you, and it does hurt. but over time, you having so much fun playing that it doesent matter. ive played for a while so im used to the sting. it feels like a cold bee sting, if you know what i mean.

It's not that bad, the people that say they hurt bad are the same kids that tell you it hurts when you get braces on.  They just think it makes them sound cool cause they take alot of pain or sumthin. 

Getting bunkered is about as bad as it gets, and even thats nothin to cry about.

lol... thx tippy_182, ill have to make fun of my friend then :P

the i think some other tijmes people say it hurts is just because they wanna make themselves feel tough that it doesnt hurt them... becuz they are so tough.

just get your sibling to buy a new gun let them turn the velocity up when it was fine before and let them shoot you 20 feet away thats how i got into it. that hurt like crap but 300fps didnt hurt.

to me it feels like a rubber band snap and im 14 so that tells you something...

but thats me

I kinda like getting shot..

Lol the first day I went out I was scared but I got shot a few times and realized it wasn't that bad, it does sting a bit at first (to me its just like getting snaped with a rubber band) and after that it stung less and less.

Now I just feel the paint touching me, no sting at all, sometimes I have trouble telling if I got shot or not which bugs me lol. This is probebly from playing 2 times a week for 2 months straight lol.

Yeah, its jus you! Not everyone is the same, some will say it really hurts (depending the other fool was shootin hot or was shootin point blank), some will say it wont hurt, cause theyre a sadists (a person who thrives on pain).

Now, if you wanna really avoid the pain, jus wear a long sleeve shirt, or jersey....the shirt/jersey will take most of the impact of the paintball and away from the skin, you might experience a bruise from this but, its no big deal, it will heal and go away after a few days.

On the side note: Remember to always "keep yer mask on at all times on the field", the last thing you dont want is to have yer eyes taken out cus you was feeling hot and sweatin and decided to take the mask off.

pretty much like everyone else says, if your having a good time and your getting really into it you will only notice it the first time you get shot.  maybe you wont even notice it right away.  this is all because of addrenaline (sp).  the more fun you have, the less it hurts.  so go have a terrible time, just for me

after you get hit once youll never want to play again lol just kidding iff your really concerned go to your local John Claude Penoir "JC pennys" and pick up a puffy goose down vest that prevents you from getting hit dead in the sternum not only does it hurt like hell but its dangerous too but everyones right adrenaline makes a big difference to my suggestion is have a friend throw rocks at you while jumping of the world trade center into a pack of rabbit wolverines while osama is flying a plane into u thatll do it

Everybody is missing a few facts.

1) Getting hit by a paintball is no where near as painfull as a bee sting.

2) Along with the stinging sensation that lasts for a few seconds, there is also a feeling of high pressure. Think of it as getting punched then slapped at the same time in the same place. Only the mark will be no bigger than a quarter and the pain 100x less.

less than a bee sting (i got stung yesterday doing yardwork ).

If I had to describe it... It's like a charlie horse, but with a little more sting, and it doesn't hurt afterwards. It's only about 3 seconds of pain. The more brutal ones will hurt for a minute or so, but you get over it in the heat of the next game.

It's nothing to be scared of. I think Airsoft BBs hurt worse... So do BB guns with steel BBs. I shot myself in the leg once to see what it felt like, lol.

Don't try to put too many layers on... It makes you less flexible in a game. I go with the Dye pants and a sleeveless shirt made of Climalite (i think that's the name. in simple terms, a semi-fancy workout shirt.)

Edit: worst place I've been hit is the neck, but I haven't bought a neck protector yet, so it doesn't worry me too much. Paintballs seem to bounce off my crotch with my dye pants, lol.

Buying a gun before you play? Not smart.

Don't worry a guy today brought his daughter that looked to be about ten. She didn't have a problem. On the other hand a guy on my team was complaining about one shot in the head. Its awesome to have her on your team. She takes a shot better than some guys. But their wimps.

Oh if you ever bleed after being shot. They really didn't chrono their gun. Thats all I can't stand. This has never happened before but I got shot by a round that I don't think that I could see. If the field and players are honest and shoot at the right speed it won't bother you. If you go to a field that doesn't have refs that care. Then some people will run around with hot guns. But if the refs are good then  they will make sure markers are at the right veloctity. But anyway getting hit feels just like.....hmmmh.......

I geuss that it feels like... getting shot by gelatin balls at 270 fps. Hope that helps
