Answer 1

1. Wear cloths you don't mind getting dirty, idealy long loose-fit cammos at a surplus store.

Also, I am not sure if you have your own gear, but you WILL need masks, which range from 10$ - 90$, the more expensive ones usualy are more comfortable, durable, have fog resistant goggles (very helpful), and even have a better chance at reflecting paintballs. Paintballs are shot at around 250-300 feet per second, and are capable of destroying an eye.

Cloth Gloves with the fingers cut out are very usefull too, getting shot between the fingers sucks.

2. Yes, your hair will get messed up and dirty, depending on how active you are.

3. Showers would be a good idea.

4. Most of the time, it just stings a decent amount, depending on where you get shot, and if the ball breaks (if it doesn't, it hurts more) . You also WILL get bruises that last a good week. Sometimes getting shot with paintballs draws a little bit of blood, but atleast for me, the pain is pretty much gone after a min or so. It hurts enought that you KNOW you've been shot.

5. Cost varies, depending on if you buy your own gear or rent, and on the rates. I don't know anything about in the UK, but at a park here in the US it costs a total of 60$ per person to rent all the needed gear for the day, plus paintballs and air for the day.

6. I don't know if your playing in a park, or in the back of hte woods, but give people the option to surrender if its within 10 feet.

Last, have a great time ;D

1) Wear something you dont mind getting dirty, or ripped because there probably will be paint stains. Unless its very hot, wear something long sleeve and some pants. Protects your arms and knees when laying down, kneeling. Bring extremly comfortable shoes that you also wont mind getting dirty. I always wear cleates but plenty of people wear regular shoes, like vans, pumas, nike.

You could go to the army surplus store and buy some camo for pretty cheap usually around 20-35 US Dollars.

2) Your hair will get some what dirty, if you get shot in the head you'll have paint in your hair and its almost impossible to get all of it out until you take a shower . You could wear a hat or a beanie or something else.

3) Definately need showers. You sweat and get dirt and paint and paint shells on you. If its been raining recently you get mud on your shoes and sometimes the smell will stick with you. Also if you get hit in the head you'll have paint in your hair which isnt very fun, its hard to get out until you get to the shower :(

4) Doesnt hurt much, your adrenaline gets pumping and you wont even notice until someone starts telling you youre out. If you do notice it just feels like getting pinched for a few seconds then it doesnt hurt anymore. The only bad part of being shot is the after part, you get bruises and when your taking a shower it starts to sting a little.

5)Normally if your going with your own stuff or someones letting you borrow gear its not to expensive. If your renting it may get expensive with 10 people. Usually 20-35 bucks for entry, usually 25-40 for the gun an tank (c02) and the hopper oh and the mask. Paint is whats expensive. Every park has diffrent prices and some places will give you a deal if you have a big party but not all of em do this.

6) Just follow the rules, keep your mask on until your off the field and bring plenty of water and food because it burns calories like no tomorrow.

Have fun, good luck and hope you enjoy

Answer 3

Wear gloves with finger tips cut off.

Wear a hat and/or hair scarf over hair pulled up.

If you can get hold of some fatigues from an old army navy store, that would be idea. Good sturdy jeans at the least with a heavy shirt & jacket, if possible.

Yes, you will need showers. Take plastic or towels to sit on for the ride back.

It doesn't hurt too bad - depends on how sensitive you are. If it hits unprotected skin, you will have a good bruise, though.

Wear long sleeves and cover your neck.

If you have a belt pouch or canvas jacket with extra pockets, all the better to carry extra paintballs!

Not sure of price in pounds. In US, it's between $10-$20, plus extra paintballs. You'll want to keep playing after you start!

Answer 4

Why don't you wear some Vera Wang or Chanel or something. After all a girl has to look her best. As far as the hair, just pick paint balls in colors that you like. Does it hurt? No not a bit, go for it with reckless abandon!! A PB party will cost you around 100 pounds ( I looked it up), but, each place has a time limit and a number of players limit it will cost more if you go over. Also it is a bit more expensive in London as opposed to more rural areas. Will you need showers or not will depend on a few thing 1. your aim. 2 . whether or not you like the polka dots in you hair.

Answer 5

1. Long sleeves and pants

2. Yes very dirty but easy to wash out

3.Yes but if you like being dirty no

4. It depends on how much pain you can take I have a friend and she's 5'0" and 95 lb and she commented on how it was a little sting but she did bruise

5. I spend anywhere between $65 - $120 (paintballs, equiment rental, field fee, etc....) I dont know about £££

6. Its a lot of running around so you'll need plenty of rest and water before and during paintball

Answer 6

you should wear lots of padding especially in the chest and arms area. paint ball is fun but hurts like hell afterwards. and yes you will get your sexy hair all messed up and you always have to shower. it normally cost up to $100 hundred dollars in the USA.

Answer 7
