Where a decent pair of gloves with some padding but wont stop your trigger finger.

Great fun and can hurt like fook if you get shot in the wrong place lol

And it ll cost a fortune to be Rambo

wolly hat and gloves.

only say that coz ive been a few times in the winter and i got one in th head which fucking hurt.

and my mate got 1 on his trigger finger while he was having a shot out with some on.

other than that just run around like a nutter, shot anything that moves (except the marshal) and enjoy it.

its a great day out but make sure u get involved. getting shot is nothing compared to the fun u have

Wear as many covers of clothing as you can, otherwise you'll end up covered in little round bruises

The best tip i can give is to take a small amount of rainex!!!!!!!

The times ive been i have taken some and it really helps stop the goggles misting up which is a real issue.

at that story ginge.

but fuck all them clothes. if they are baggy it absorbs most of the impact, its the fleshy bits that get hurt. like the arm just through a t shirt and stuff.

if u wear to much then u get hot and sweety and it'll ruin it.

it does hurt but not for long.
ive been about 5 times now and i'd wear old jeans, old trainers, old t shirt and an old jumper if its cold.

hat and gloves in the winter too just incase one clips the ear or something. that really would be painfull in the cold

Never look down the barrel to see if it's dirty shooting yerself in the visor may cause a colour change in the Y fronts area (somewhere to the rear)

dont get shot from 5 yards away. I have seen welts the size of golf balls on people legs.

Always wear your mask and a paintball in the eye will blow your eyeball out

go to a motorbike shop and buy some bob heath visor anti fog stuff, little red and white can. this time of year the goggles will steam up in seconds

DONT get shot int he bollocks - it hurts

also a hit on the hand fucking hurts too

wear a beanie or summut as i shot some bint in the forehead and made her bleed once

dont be a pussy and wear loads of cloths, it only slows you down! take the pain lol, it makes sure you dont get hit too often lol

lastly, dont aim directly for peeps, the paint balls dont fly in a straight line lol

As said above, Rainex or Rainaway is an essential for inside of visor. Also a decent pair of Boots, most paintball places run them in a wood and fields. If you've got an old pair of rockports or Timbies get them on. Trainers are no use, slip everywhere.

I got shot in the thrapple, last time I was there, fuckin agony.

Don't try and hide behind a tree that is thinner than you

I just got shot in the leg repeatedly as I wailed in shock and everyone thought it'd be hilarious to cause me more discomfort and bruise me...bastards

Good fun though
