I was playing paintball at a friend of mine's house. Everyone was behind cover, and the two people on the other team were behind the same cover. Both of them had fully automatic weapons, with their velocities turned wayyyy up. Like, 280 instead of 180. My two allies were behind me, both had good shots at the enemies cover, and were keeping them pinned down. I motioned to keep them pinned while I moved up. I sprinted up so I was on the other side of a plywood sheet from them. I crouched for a minute catching my breath, then stood up and put my gun over the cover and shot at them. I missed. So I quickly ran around one side and opened fire, only for both of them to lay into me with their shots. I was only... 5 feet away. I had about 15 shots on my torso, 10 on my legs, and a few on my hands. I fell on the ground shouting "out" and they stopped. I got up, said I was alright, and limped away. The power of the hits knocked the wind out of me, and it took me a little while until I came out of shock.
I didn't cry at all, and even played another game around 20 minutes later. I still have the bruises/scars from it, and it happened maybe 6 months ago. Even though I got out, I didn't even hardly feel the pain.

I like how you told that unmanly story as manly as you could
-
Maybe telling that story in such a manly way is the most manly thing I've ever done...
-
probably, considering getting shot with paintballs pointblank and/or at 280 fps is the norm
-
Quick question, why do you play on such low velocity? I usually have my A5 as close to 300 FPS as I can make it.
-
I don't know. I'm not really big on specs or technical bits when it comes to paintball. All I know is we were playing higher than the recommended amount.
-
Maybe it was a field restriction. Anyways, nice bullet sponge.
-
I asked that friend, he said we usually okay at 300, but the friend I got shot by turned it up to 375ish
-
Dang, that's rough. If I tried 375fps if would chop my balls up ;)
-
Well believe me, they stayed in one piece. Until they hit me, I mean.
