To be honest...getting shot once at close range, wouldnt normally hurt loads...its a shock when you ewrnt used to it.

There are a couple of places you dont want to get shot...one of them is between teh shoulder blades.

But...punter paint tends to be much harder than tourny paint, therefore it goes in further before breaking and hence hurts more and bruises more...Bouncers hurt the most, as tehy impart all of their energy on you.

When your playing Sup Air... your all pumped as well (not that you wouldnt be in teh woods) so, it dont really hurt...sometimes you dont even notice...honest marshal!

Firstly...get a marshal arts box..V important.

Get some sort of neck protection...even if you or those around you think it looks "ghey"...they wont be laughing when they get shot point blank in the throat...wont be breathing either.

Most times you get shot in the neck, is because you have been mugged and "stabbed in the neck"

Shouldnt worry though...
