I have never been paintballing before. I have been hit with an airsoft gun how does that compare to a paintball gun? What should I wear?

yes they hurt more than airsoft....extra layers of clothes will reduce the pain. Also if some jackazz freezes their paintballs they will hurt more.

Getting shot with an airsoft gun stings a little but gettin shot with a paintball gun hurts really bad. I have gotten shot with both and I'm gonna say wear the body armor they sell because I got shot without any armor or protection in the stomach, and arms and I had big bruises for about a week. So I suggest wear armor and extra layers.

Well if you get hit close range it is painful. If you are in a regular paintball match it doesn't hurt more than a really really hard flick.
When I go paint balling I usually just wear jeans. a t-shirt and then a jacket over that shirt. It hurts a little, I wont lie, but it isn't unbearable pain.
Its fun though. Good luck.
One more thing...u will probably get bruises and or welts, As long as you wear a mask, you should be fine.
I would recommend getting a pair of thick gloves however, even though its rare that you get hit in the hand, it is the most painful thing that could happen in paint ball.
HAVE FUN!!

It stings like a b*tch! yet maximum persons can take the discomfort, you will probable have the potential too, i see young infants that are 12 taking photos paintballs at one yet another without flinching. merely make certain you place on a desirable paintball helmet.

Most people say it's kinda like a rubber band flicked at you. Try taking a rubber band and like hold it back kinda far and let it go and snap at your arm. If you think it'll hurt wear baggy clothes and maybe 2-3 shirts. Maybe wear pads.

Yes, somewhat. They rarely hurt so you'd feel it the next day. It seemed to me that the ones that didn't break hurt more than the ones that did.

Yes it hurts.
It will bruise you, it can even break skin.
If you're afraid of getting hit, and you will get hit
don't play. But then again, what are you?
Grow a pair.
