Paintball...

Your local Scottish fox.
Yes, i went paintballing today with some friends, it really is a sport that inflicts pain... LITERALLY.
Paintball IS a sport. It requires teamwork, agility and a good aim. If you lack one of these skills then it could be your defeat on the field.
I've received 2 bruises from being shot, it only stings for about 2 seconds. Good thing i had a face mask because that's where i was hit the most (about 7 times)
FUN FACTS: A paintball can travel at 30 yards per second, 1/8th the speed of a bullet.
A paintball gun can fire 5 rounds per second depending on how fast you can pull the trigger (the guns aren't fully automatic)
SAFETY: Face mask is the first thing you do before loading your gun, the paint travels only at 1/8th of a bullet but still enough to blind you.
You have camouflaged overalls for protecting your clothes from paint, you can get them as dirty as you like since that's what you've paid your money for.
*If you've got any further questions on paintball or my experience then i'll try my best to answer them, please don't be shy* <:3

Aww man! I always want to go paintballing! I heard that there are automatic guns that fire paint rounds but I don't know if they're available in the paintball market. I remember passing by a store here in Canada where they sell AK 47s with paint rounds and yes, they fire automatically like a real AK 47. Weird thing is that Canada has more relaxed gun laws than America yet stuff like night vision goggles are illegal to be sold which is opposite of that in America. Maybe one day, I may visit you in Scotland to a paintball showdown. ^^

OP
The paintball guns we were using weren't full automatic, they were single fire (for safety reasons) If you could just hold down the trigger for as long as you want then someone could get really hurt.

But what if you wear protection like a vest and helmet?

Yes, but what about the rest of your body? You already have a fask mask since that's the most important part but you can "purchase" extra stuff like padding for your upper body but not the lower. Some of my friends came back with some quite surprising injuries on their bodies... but they took it like a man xD

I see. Maybe I'm going to stick with two paintball pistols then if automatic weapons are out of the question.

Can't have pistols in paintball match (at least you cant get them over here). Everyone gets the same weapon.

Fine fine. I'll take the crappy generic paintball gun.
