Today, my friends and I went paintballing. The instructor showed us the sound of an unloaded gun by shooting at my face. It wasn't unloaded. FML

Today, I played paintball with a bunch of friends. By the end of the day, my girlfriend and I were the only people left on the field. She shot me mercilessly, and I screamed like a little girl. 30 people watched, 4 people filmed. FML

Today, I went paintballing with my siblings. Once we were done, they realised I hadn't been shot at all. They cornered me in the forest and lit me up. I have welts all over my legs. FML

Today, I thought it would be fun to join my friends for a game of paintball. I got shot in the same spot three times in a row. It turned out to be my own team, who mistook me for the enemy because I was wearing… camouflage. FML

Today, while playing paintball, a shot ricocheted off a wall and slammed into my nuts. I told the other team I was out and tried to run out of the field, but as I was jogging to the door I was hit again in the balls. My friend saw this and dropped his gun, laughing. It hit me too. FML

Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML

Today, I played an intense paintball match, with me and my friends versus my boyfriend and his buddies. When we won, my boyfriend went mental and said he only lost because of "lag". When I pointed out we weren't in a video game, he reacted by firing a paintball straight into my chest. FML

Today, I went paint-balling with my girlfriend. As we drove she was scared about getting shot a lot, especially in the head. I reassured her that with all the protective gear it was unlikely. First round, within a minute, she gets shot 3 times in the back of the head. FML

Today, I went paintballing with my girlfriend and her family. Her dad ended up shooting me, and I doubled over in pain. I thought that was it, until he stepped back and shot me several more times in the stomach. "Just double-tapping," he smirked. More like quadruple-tapping. FML

Today, I was paintballing when I got shot in the stomach and winded. As I was gasping for breath on the ground, someone came up and shot me point blank in my crotch. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Honestly, I would report him. That is incredibly unsafe, you aren't supposed to aim at people's faces regardless.

Treat every weapon as if it is loaded and never point it at something you don't intend to shoot. Pointing it at your head is beyond moronic. OP should have stopped him instead of allowing it.

Sue, Seriously don't even hesitate sue the company. Like some comments never point a gun at ones face regardless if it's empty. There's always that change an ammunition is in the chamber and this is a clear but proof. I bet he said he checked it before and cartridge was empty. Obviously one was in the chamber..also he's an instructor thy should have more training on gun care. Thank god he doesn't work for a gun range with real guns.

I sense a lawsuit in his immediate future. Seriously, this is one case where I fully support suing that crap out of him. You could easily have lost an eye/been blinded.

That sounds awful. I hope that instructor got in major trouble.

You should've shot him in the kneecap, and then said "Sorry, I thought it was unloaded."

This instructor was trying to be a smart ass. I would report him the the owner and maybe file assault charges against him. This is the most unsafe and unprofessional act I have ever heard of from a paintball instructor. As someone pointed out earlier, a paintball can take out an eye, that's why they make the masks,

Today, I let my 4-month old puppy sleep with me. She’s been constipated for a while. I woke up to a foul odor in the middle of the night. Turns out she took a massive dump on the bed right by my head. I had to completely strip my bed to go back to sleep. FML

Today, I met a really attractive guy outside of a club. We came back to my apartment and had sex. Afterward, we both fell asleep. I woke up and found 20 dollars on my nightstand that wasn't there before. He thought I was a prostitute, and apparently a cheap one. FML
