I dont want to get shot in the nads again, im fine with other areas. Would a cricket cup stnd the hits? Its definite as people seem to be deadshots for the bollocks.
i got shot on the end of the knob:mad: (by the way it was still in my combats at the time). :D the pain was the worst i had paintballing, next day payed out for some dye c6 paintball pants, it has a padded cod peace to the knob area.;:rolleyes:

i've only ever seen one person hit in the pain zone, so you probably won't need a cup, just shake yourself off - no pun intended - you've got to man up to play paintball, it's like contact sport - a hobby for the daring i guess. Look into lazer quest.
dont go into lazer quest, my first and lasts time doing that saw me cut my upper lip open!!!! paintball is much safer ;) the lazer questers are the true men here....

Slide shorts

The only time I ever got shot in the nuts without my slide shorts on was playing X-ball, a one minuite pit stop between points consisted of about 50 seconds of being doubled up calling the b*stard who bonus balled me every thing I could think of and 9.8 seconds of sprinting gate legged back to the break in time for the next game :mad:

The adrenaline sorted it there on, however, I cursed myself for not puting the shorts on, however padded your pants are a well aimed shot will catch you out, slide shorts with a jewel pad are worth the investment :)

1) Can markers use both Co2 and air, or one or the other?
2) is an '04 prostock good for someone whose used acouple of site guns?
3)Can bottles be refilled at diving shops?

5)Any decent walk on sites in manchester?
Thanks in advance.
