"Paintballing"

Planning on going soon.

Anyone been? Was it any good? Worth the money? Does it hurt? (doesn't matter if it does, I CAN TAKE IT MAN!) And, erm.
Yeah?

Good. Continue.

Paintballing is fun.

Cover up your shoes with unhealthy amounts of duct tape, though. i.e. Get a roll of duct tape and mummify your shoes with it.

Ah.
There's marshalls. Hurrah.
Didn't know that.

There's nothing you can do if you're pinned down after being hit. They'll shoot at anything that moves, and if you simply stand up you'll get pelted until they realise you're already dead.

Usually a marshall will run over and lead you away.

Excellent.

What if you end up in a situation where you're like going, "ARGH, fecking stop it!", while flailing your arms in a futile attempt to protect yourself, while they're standing a metre away emptying their load (ahar de har) onto you?

There's not much you can do I suppose...

Yes, it hurts. You're either shot at point blank range, or take heavy damage from about a dozen different people. And you get hit on the back of your neck or on your wrists, where you're not protected, that hurts even more.

I had small bruises all over my chest and back and arms afterwards.

Anyway, it's alright, nothing special. It was stupidly hot the day I did it, and with t-shirt and jeans and thick coveralls and then a mask, I was sweating like a mofo and couldn't breathe half the time.

*pootles*

I dont even know where the nearest centre is.
