For one second you will feel a slight sting. Then it's over and you will want to get the other guy. It's not so bad you should keep from playing. Many people play and it really is what makes the game. Remember water guns? "No, I got you first, squirt squirt!"
Compared to, "I'M HIT, I'M HIT, I'M HIT!!!" Much more fun!
But yeah... dress in layers if you have to. They also make plastic shielding, like chest protectors. Note: If you are female... get the chest protector!! or take some cardboard, cut to fit, and wear it like a vest. Preferably several sheets. But remember it only stings for one second.

Get a mask, an unloaded paintball gun, and an area that might be similar to where youre playing. give a buddy of yours say 30 paintballs and a gun and tell him to do his best to shoot u while you avoid it; running and positioning and mock-playing a paintball match and when he hits you yell "I'm hit!" and then see if it hurt you as bad as you think before you start dressing in layers. That, and if he's good enough, ask him to take a couple shots right at your mask so you're not surprised when you hear a WHAP and all you see is orange. I say "if he's good enough" because you don't really wanna get hit in the neck. In a hectic paintball (or my preferred woodsball) situation you probably won't get hit in the neck, but even if you do it's not gonna hurt you.
*ahem* lemme shorten this up. Get shot before you decide you care about getting shot, and remember, you probably won't care when you're focusing on eliminating other players and you take one in the knuckle or thigh or whatever.

listen,its going to hurt some. no matter if u get hit in the a-ss or in the arm .for more protection put on some long sleeves ,sweat shirt wear long johns overalls .....point is your going to get hit and once u start playing that's the least thing on your mind .........your going to be running alot and positioning ur self as well ,make no mistake it will hurt but not as bad as u think ,because once ur hit and ur out and when your taking to the guys that got knock out and u switch stories with each other ,the only thing going through ur mind is ...man com'on lose or win already i want to play again.........have fun and good luck

Layers are good. Avoid getting hit in fatty areas, as these things leave Big Ol' Bruises!! It only hurts for a minute, though.
