Re: Paintball 101: Do I need to wear a cup?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Going for the first time tomorrow...do I need to wear a cup? Anything else I should know? [/ QUOTE ] Only if you're a puss. [/ QUOTE ] Last time I played, there was poison ivy in the brush. One of my buddies didn't bring a towel with him, so he wiped his trunk with his sweatshirt. Big mistake. Probably had it over 75% of his upper body. I only had some on my thighs, and it was a bitch. Can't imagine what he went through. PaintbaLL ROCKS. Have fun.

Re: Paintball 101: Do I need to wear a cup?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] i read a few old threads about people talking abotu hwo they stopped playing bc it was so expensive....how expensive can it be? Once you buy all the [censored], that seems like a one time cost, the only [censored] you have left to constantly buy is paintballs and time at the field, so wtf am i missing? [/ QUOTE ] It is very expensive, when my friend was playing seriously he was always upgrading his gear or buying a new marker. Paintballs aren't cheap and you could easily go through 10k+ in one day. [/ QUOTE ] $10k expendable funds in one day? Was he shooting with rare caviar?

I usually go through a case (2000) or less in a day, so around $50-60 a day on paintballs, $15 field fee which inludes all day air if you're using a nitrogen system, co2 charges 4 bucks a fill but honestly there's no reason to ever use co2 anymore it just blows.

[/ QUOTE ] Wtf were they playing naked? I've never worn a cup, with boxers and a pair of camo pants, I've taken hits off the nuts. One hit me in the crotch and it stung my peen, but I see no way a paintball could ever cause this kind of serious damage, they just don't do this. I don't believe thsi story.

Going for the first time tomorrow...do I need to wear a cup? Anything else I should know? [/ QUOTE ] Strange, but I just got back from a picnic where my friend told a paintball story. He got nailed in the crotch but was wearing a cup so he didn't feel anything. I think he was doing one of those 1-on-1 duels (take ten steps, turn and shoot) so he was out in the open. I think in normal play, one doesn't expose their family jewels to an open line of fire. But then again, if people are playing with those fully-automatic weapons, you might want to play it safe and wear a cup.
