A mate of mine got whot in the nads once and his dick swelled up & he had a massive red thing on it for about 1 1/2 weeks! and his wife wasn't too impressed either

Nasty tho, cos it put him off ever playing Paintball again.

The most painfull shot ive ever had was a bouncer off the top of my leg whilst I was kneeling down, my trousers were tight accross the top of my leg and that stung a lot!

Pain goes quickly tho cool adrenaline fueled memories take a lot longer!

im a marshal and we just tell them straight....yes it will hurt....yes it can break the skin....yes you can bleed. but on the up side we do have a trained first aider

one thing i do find that punters hate is the taste of the stuff... last week i got hit in the front plate twice and got a mouth full off paint......time to flavour it to somthing nice

you can get some orange tasting stuff,weird after taste though

awww yeah! paint tastes gross! and sods las also says that you always get shot in the gob just as you are about to take a really deep breath on a "Balls to the wall leg it for the flag" style run thru the woods.
Happened to me once and bts of the manky crap went all down my throat! if it wasnt for the fact that the game ended soon after im sure I would have barfed all in my mask.

Pity the poor fool who would have got given that mask the next week

I said in a previous post that (with willing guinee pigs ) I'd work on beer flavoured paint, but their has been very little interest from possible tasting panels

i'll volenteer for guinness flavour

Adding a flavour to paint though (serious note) would be (to hide after taste and other off flavours) about 0.2-0.4% of formulation, this would affect the viscosity and colour of the mix affecting the "wipability" and require complete re-formulation but it is do-able, we do it in tooth paste so why not? tooth paste will have many physical properties in common with paint (some liquid pastes are very runny though still thick in comparison to paint) also have you ever spilt toothpaste down your front and tried to get it off?

one good reason for not flavouring paint is cost, the flavour in Turkish delight costs £55 per gram some flavours and perfumes cost more but most are less expensive, but think in a 1 ton batch 20 kilo's (approx) would cost £1100000 usually price is per kilo but that example shows whiy flavoured paint isn't more common.
