DOESN'T IT HURT WHEN YOU GET SHOOT ?

       T he paint pallets break upon impact, and generally cause very little pain. What pain is experienced is more of stinging sensations from the pellet's impact against the skin or through clothing. Of course, the closer you are to the muzzle of the gun, the higher the velocity of the pellet when it hits you. Thus, more pain may be experienced when shot at close range rather than farther away.

       I n general, one can count on coming off the field with a few welts from paintball impacts, but your most annoying injuries are more likely to be scrapes and bruises from the local terrain.

       S tatistics show that paintball is one of the safest activities around. At VPA all paint guns are checked daily before and during play to ensure the speed and range of paint pellets is within recognised industry standards.
