Actually, being shot in the face is the best place. At least there you are getting hit on hard plastic instead of soft flesh. I've been shot in the face dozens of times while paintballing, it's no big deal.

The only down side is when you take one in the mouth guard. The ball sprays through the breathing vents and you are picking bits of paintball shell out of your teeth for the next hour or so. Oh, and if anyone asks, paintball paint does not taste very good. yuch!

Paintball: Apply directly to the forehead!

The headshot was fantastic. And I've seen the electricity one before. Quite amazing.

True...eating the paint is not very pleasant.
I once got very close to take a shot in the testicles...2 inches to the left I and would have found a new level of pain, I guess.

Pff, I've been shot in the nutz with a paintball before...sure, I was wearing really thick pants, but it's just because my testicles are made of steel. And are indestructible. 8)

My friends were at my other friend's house at his backyard about a year ago doing a little paintball one night. One of my friends was standing two feet away from my other friend's brother, paintball gun in hand, and accidentally pulled the trigger. Shot my friend's brother right in the neck, left a welt that lasted for months.

Is that the first time you've seen that?

(Not being smart, I just figured anyone with a drop of petrol in their veins would've seen that by now - of course it's still a great ad)
