In Soviet Russia, nuts shoot YOU point blank.

u probably havent used the more powerful paintball guns then...

Wrong. It IS fake because he said he got winded from a paintball, which is bullshit.

That's like saying those beanbag launchers riot police use can't bruise you.

Uh, no. Bruising and getting winded are nothing alike. Ever been actually shot by a paintball, toots? Getting winded by a paintball to the stomach means you'd also be knocked over by the force of a slamming door.

Perhaps I should have said "That's like saying tazers don't hurt that much." I was intending to relate the two by how people disbelieve they can do a certain amount of harm (bruising, getting winded, or pissing yourself...) Certainly getting bruised and getting winded is nothing alike, but if something can bruise you, wouldn't logically it also have the potential to knock the wind out of you? Of course, we're assuming OP isn't exaggerating. For all we know, he could be being overdramatic. Certainly getting hit in the balls is no fun whether he was winded or not, though... But, no I haven't been shot by a paintball.

No, because unlike, say, a baseball, paintballs are designed to burst on contact. A baseball isn't going to explode when it hits you in the gut; it'll keep going until your stomach has killed its momentum. Getting winded means the paintball hit you with enough force to put a lot of pressure on the solar plexus, which is physically impossible unless at point blank range, which OP didn't mention (and getting shot twice in that fashion isn't playing paintball, it's a couple of fucktards being fucktards.)

Hm, now see, not all paintballs explode on impact. A cousin and I once found a paintball that, no matter what we tried, we couldn't get to burst. We even had our uncle run over it. There's this little adjective we can use called "defective" that can completely explain this whole situation. Also we can use "pussy," like I said, to describe that perhaps the OP is just being overdramatic (and perhaps what he means by "crotch" is "my inner thigh, actually"). I agree it sounds like screwing around rather than being on a range, though, since I'm pretty sure all ranges require padding. If OP got winded by a paintball, even a defective one, then he most not have been wearing much.

All I have left to say is that a paintball that doesn't explode just bounces off, again without being able to knock someone's wind out. Calling him a pussy (if not a liar) is right on the money. I can't speak for every (outdoor; indoor paintball areas are terrible for someone that played outdoor) arena, but around my way you're only required to have a mask. Things like gloves are nice only because getting shot on the bare knuckle stings too much for such a ******* lame place to be shot. I live in an area with a lot of forests, though, so apart from that thing called trespassing my p-ball circle of friends doesn't have much of a reason to play in a designated field.
