Don't get hit? Barring that try not to have the minimal amount of skin exposed. A good solid hit will raise a welt the size of a marble, leave a bruise the size of a silver dollar that gradually fades to yellow.
Have fun, it can be a big adrenaline rush.

As they've said, wear a cup and good eye protection. Being hit by a paintball feels like being stung by a wasp. Leaves a nice bulls-eye bruise, the "black-and blue badge of courage."
Sure is fun though. Just don't lose an eye doing it.

now although i generally assumed that avoiding getting hit was probably the best course of action, i dont think men quite view it in the same light.
from what i can gather from a returning war party, the dropping trousers and taking off clothes to show war wounds and bruises to show anyone and everyone remotely interested (or not) is an important part of the ritual. and street cred seems to be hogged by he who carries the most impressive colourful patches.
think its a man thing

FREAKING AWESOME!! We played from 10am to 3pm with a hotdog break in the middle. I'm sore, I'm knackered but I'm freaking LIVING!!
Yeah! When can we have an Apostapaintballpainfest?

Paintballing is a war game. True Christians(tm) are against war, so by participating in a war game you will be scripturally blood-guilty and will be destroyed at Armageddon.
Same with your kids playing Cowboys and Indians. Ditch the cowboy shirts and feathers or Jehovah will kill you AND them.
Same with Chess. Ditch your chess board or Jehovah will kill you.
But if you insist on dying at Armageddon, wear a cup. And a suit of midieval armor, too.

I was soooo tired after my first paintball game. Fun as heck, even though I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I got hit at close range and it hurt like hell. Left a big welt too.
Fun stuff but wear serious protective clothing and don't move without covering fire,....
