getting a mouthful

This post is for everybody except Weirdguy (who is keeping an archive of our paintball photos already)...
And in case you're wondering: paint "fill" tastes a bit like a LOT of cornstarch mixed in water. It's bitter. But really, I couldn't actually taste much because my mouth was numb from the shock of the impact.

This really looks funny. It reminds me of a big bird flying overhead taking target practice.. if you know what I mean.. hehe.. anyway, it really must have hurt!

Yah! It actually hurt much more than I thought getting hit in my mask would. And was a lot of the "shell" that came flying through the vents too!

Damn!

Not to be rude, but what's the use in making a mask through which the paint balls can go through? Kind of ridiculous if you ask me... There are ways to make this to prevent it.

But still... ouch!

The vent are there to breathe through - otherwise it would be insanely uncomfortable. And when a paintball is traveling at you 260 feet per second, I think it makes a difference. :)

I've seen a photo of Ollie Lang (of the L.A. Ironmen) wearing just goggles without a mouthpiece - now THAT's brave!
