Hia Guys

after an awsome 12 game day my head looks and feels like a bag of golf balls!

i got 3 point blank headshots and it hurt like hell   but you should have seen the other guy!

anyway, what sort of head protection do you use/recomend?

a steel helmet would look a bit daft

A regular mask should work fine, but if you want to go all out, look at this: http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.2/category.239 /.f - http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.2/category.239 /.f

P.s. Who was shooting you in the head at point blank ranges; that's pretty irresponsible of them, not to mention stupid.

smooth website mate and I like the look of some of the gear especialy the helmets!! that will stop a point blank head shot!  can you fit a face mask on as well though?

we were playing assult games yesterday where one team needs to take the defenders base.  when defending the opposition move right up to the bunker or barrier you are hiding next to, pop up and Zap you!

thats how we play it in the UK hard and fast....charge in blatting away.  i got a bloody nose, spit lip, 3 bad headshots, 3 fingers that look like sausages ...... but we give as good as we get and like the 'risk' as well as the buzz of charging down the enemy

we then have a laugh and a smoke after, compaire wounds and remain the best of friends

but i DO want better gloves and head protection! i may be mad but i aint stuipid

A regular maks should work well and then wear a hat or headband with it. I used to use a backwards baseball cap but have moved to using a headband and that helps reduce the sting when your getting bunkered.

As for a great mask I suggest the V-force profiler.

V force is very nice

but i found this which looks interesting .....

You play just like I do.  We have had several endurance games where your not out until you give up.  We decided to tone it down a little after my buddys wife complained about the 57 welts on his body. 

Try the V force, good protection and field of view.  There are fingerless gloves for paintball that will protect your hands and still allow some measure of dexterity.  If you still have problems with head shots, adjust your tactics.  If it doesn't work, try something different.  Pain is the mother of tactical invention.

Play hard, shoot your friends, have a beer.  Keep having fun.  If after the dust has settled, everyone can laugh about it, then your mission has been accomplished.

Amen. Work hard, PLAY HARDER!!

I got to hand it to you guys, you're redefining the meaning of the word "hardcore".

great philosophy stormcharger and i like your ideas for endurane games

57 welts ... that must have been a good day .... fair play to the girl though ... gutsy lass

I take it you guys play on a unregulated field right?

If thats the case then, I would suggest you get one those helmets in opsgear.com that will fit yer mask, but you need to specify on what brand and type of mask you are using in order to find out which helmet can be used together and as fer the gloves check into these links....
