Hi,Hi Maris and Wife
Put it this way you are definitely going to get shot that's a given, Regarding padding I would definitely invest in some paintball Knee pads and Elbow Pads, Body protection that's something you need to decide after you play next month your wife will probably want some to protect her (.)(.) as paintball bruise more on fleshier parts of your body.
What type of walk on are you going too, Big games? local site?
