Well it's what happens when you don't follow safety instructions.

you should, its pretty intense. You can't just halfass the story, he halfassed saftey, and look what happened to him.

Pics or shens.

ouch reading this whole thing is making my eyes hurt, but achually this is really sad and i feel very bad for the guy. i wish i knew how old he was thats the only detail he left out. but this is a must read makes u realize how real it is. some newbs seem to think that its like a video game and u cant really get hurt. i think all new players should be forced to read this before they buy a gun or go to a field, that way when the get their eyes shot out we dont have to feel as bad. hey just an after thought what would u rather hav, "your eye shot out and going blind" or "getting shot in the nuts and having them removed" i think i rather take the nuts shot just cause i rather see than hav kids. but i wouldnt be stupid enough to take off my mask so if 1 of them were to happen to me i think it would be the nut shot anyway.

don't post if your going to say something stupid.


I have a personal experience w/ an almost eye injury.

When i started playing paintball about 4 years ago, i was playing in the woods. I thoughti was hit in the mask, so i took it off and checked it for paint. Very dumb decision. This was maybe the 3rd or 4th time i ever played. Another player shot a few shots toward me and thump!, one hits me close to my eye, so near that i thoughti was actually hit in the eye and i kept it closed. The weird part about it, was that i didn't feel it at all, i felt no pain whatsoever. I eventually found that the ball had struck me right below my left eye. I had a bruise and it swelled i ould see the swelling out of my eye, if the ball was any higher i may have had the same experience that this player had.

In conclusion, i have always worn my mask from then on and i'm very strict about safety. Barrel condoms on, even when i play in the woods.
