How does it feel to get shot by one? I was invited to play and was wondering how much padding to wear.

It depends on the person and how cold it is outside and how fast the guns is shooting. I usually wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt mostly with a t-shirt underneath. Sometimes i will double up long sleeve shirts or wear long underwear underneath one if it is really cold. The only way i get more padding is to wear long underwear legs. I don't recommend especially the first time going with just a t-shirt and bear arms, you will bruise and have welts all over. Make sure to conserve ammo and shoot at the effective range. Later on you can look into better face masks and neck protection, I don't know about cleats, I play in the desert/woods and so I wear boots. They do make a chest pad thing that is hard plastic which protects you and makes the balls break better. But you might be called a sissy. Don't wear too much padding as the balls will not break. Then they will all get mad at you and call you a sissy. Have Fun and don't take off your mask utnil the match is over and guns are on safe!!!!

Most people will say it hurts like a rubber band sting. Try taking a rubber band and hold it from your hand at a fair distance and see how much it hurts. For your first time, wear some long pants and a long-sleeve. You won't really need gloves, wear some cleats. If you easily get scarred or something, wear some pants with padding.

I wouldn't say it doesn't hurt, but it really only stings for a second. Don't worry though, in the middle of a game, the last thing you'll be thinking abut is a little sting. As for padding, dont leave your arms and legs bear if its your first time.

I think that padding is a bad idea, without the pain (its not that bad) in paintball it would be less exiting and anyway it incourages you not to get hit. If you go to the feild and ther are a bunch of ppl with guns shooting 25 bps then feel free to call yourself out.
p.s. guys i got a question in general sports about paintball please head over there and answer p.s.s. should i post my paintball questions here from now on?

It feels great, lol j/k...well it doesnt feel that great expecially if it is cold outside. I know of somepeople who freeze there paintballs so that they hurt twice as much when you get shot. But if you are worried about them hurting then imagine someone giving you a charlie horse to the arm or leg. It isnt much worse then that.
