Answer 1

Hi Joe,



The basic elements of a paintball hit is FPS ( feet per second ) and Distance. I will not get in detail on the other elements, for example the quality of paintballs.

To start, every field has a legal velocity (FPS) on all their player's markers. Our field in Quebec has a maximum velocity of 280FPS, we can't negotiate with that number. If someone manages to enter a field without getting checked ( extremely rare ) he could be in trouble if he shot someone real hard. Our field has all the equipment necessary to check if one can enter their fields or not.

Moving on, distance is self-explanatory. Longer you get shot, less it will sting. Closer you get shot, more will it sting and could be a nasty bruise.

Now to go back to your main question : It will sting like a rubberband to the stomach. But trust me on this, when your adrenaline pumps while your on the field looking like a complete Badass, you almost won't feel the paintball hitting you. It just feels like a quite sting that will be gone in seconds.Plus, Battle bruises are SICK! You have the pride of saying, Yeah! I fought in that field for my team !



Hope this helped,



Kind regards,

I think the closest thing I can relate it to is like someone snapping a rubberband on your bare skin VERY hard. But that sting is bigger than just a line. When you get it you kinda go OWWW, then look were you got hit, then look in the direction you got hit and pray they don't keep shooting. Now keep in mind, it will hurt more on some parts of your body than others. For me it hurts wayy more on my bicep and thighs. But it def is something you can shrug off. Have fun on the battlefield :D

it feels like getting snapped with a ruber band it kind of stings but it hurts more if your expecting it in the middle of a game with your adrenaline going it doesnt hurt that bad unless you get shot in the junk or something it also depends on how close your shot and what fps the gun is set at but ive been shot from point blank in a game and it didnt hurt ive also been shot from far away and it did hurt so i wouldnt worry to much about it

Answer 4

it depends on where you get hit. If its an area with loose clothing it won't be to bad but on bare skin it kind of feels like a hard rubber band snap or something of that nature.
