Some of the shots can really hurt. Boydsters seen what paintballs can do. Sadly It was cause I showed him what happened to me. I had the front of me yellow. But I had fun doing it. Stupid fast guns. Oh well If you want a protector then I'd suggest getting a vest whith puoches cause it actually serves some use. |

Why do you want armour? Are you afraid to get shot? I heard that it is very uncomfortable and usually too big. And I heard that if anything that 32* makes Ok ones. http://www.888paintball.com - WWW.888paintball.com might have them. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

you really dont any armour. Paintballs dont hurt that bad, sometimes you dont even feel them. Just get some loose fiting camo(woods ball) or a loose fitting jersey(speedball). The loose clothing will absorb a lot of the impact so you barely fill it. This will save money, other than that you might want a cup, getting shot in the nuts really sucks.... ------------- Snipers Dominate 98c 16 inch Rifled Barrel Red dot sight Soon: Low pressure system Shoulder stock |

I almost had my "family jewels" shot from under me once....and since then Ive learned how to jus stick in & out from behind a big tree, some kind of bunker or a wall (snap shooting).... Ok back on topic, I fergot to mention, if yer into woods/rec ball, I would also suggest gettin some knee pads wit that good mask and the gloves...jammin yer knees on somethin like a tree or a small rock or anything that can seriously do some damage is extremely painful...I found this out fer myself when I jammed my right knee on a small rock during a game of woodsball wit some friends 2 months ago and I was in pain fer at least a week and I could barely walk correctly and jus recently I played again wit the same friends again and the day before I had bought a pair of knee pads from a Sporting Goods store, after a whole day of running and kneeling in the woods I feel a whole lot safer now that my knees are fully protected....thats all the armour you need if yer gonna play paintball. Neck protectors are ok during the cold weather, but during the summer, yer gonna be sweatin and chokin like crazy and if you really really wanna protect yer neck....quit stickin yer head out like a freakin giraffe! ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

It's common sense to buy a cup. I've seen three people get shot down there and all of them have dropped like flies after being shot. Don't listen to what anyone says about how wearing a cup is stupid or what not. It's in your best interest to buty yourself a good cup, and obviously a good mask. ------------- "You have to be trusted, by the people that you lied to.

In my opinion wearin a cup is useless, even though I have never been hit there and I crouch too low to be hit there in the first place compared to most people in the woods, who walk around erect and wind up gettin hit elsewhere besides on the "family jewels". ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

I find cups a pain in the rear end when ur running. but depends on the
person. Go with what evil fingers said about the knee guards,, lets u get down quicker aswell. Dont use your skating ones thought because there generally huge and bulky. Just enough to protect.
