I looked thru most of the new player forums and it doesn't say anything about armor. Can anyone help me out with the rules on armor and some advice on making them? Thanks!

You Can Buy Armor.. Just do Some searching On the web and youll Find some Armor..

[Techdude_16]

Yeah i know but i'd rather make my own. I think that i can make better armor if i know the rules and what i can or cannot use to make it.

Armor is mostly an uneeded item in paintball. Unless you have certain circumstances in which you need to wear it, you can save yourself alot of money just by wearing a few extra layers of clothes. I just wear a T-Shirt and a sweater and it doesnt hurt too much. I dont think that there are any special rules regarding armour because it doesnt do anything cheap such as bounce balls.

[Techdude_16]

hmm may be but dont you think you can perform alot better if none of the hits you take hurt and you can still move as quickly as you usually do?

no armor will turn this sport into a girly man sport...it should not be aloud because a lil bit of pain is what makes people not want to get hit along with the fact thye will be out.

[Techdude_16]

well thats your opinion i just wanted to know about any rules there might be.

[BushmasterMAN]

i'm not aware of any rules about armor because I have never seen anyone use it for paintball...ive seen pictures but not anyone in person.

[dirtrider54]

allright youy really dont need the armor, why would you want it so it doesnt hurt, thats what makes the sport fun you go back afterwords and just show off were you got hit, the welts and everything is what makes the sport the sport!!! The only reason you should wear armor(besides your mask) Is if you have like bones made of glass or something. But I guess thats just my point of veiw.

If you buy armor your just wasting your money. You'll probably use it like once then realize you don't need it. The only armor I suggest is a mask of course and pads or something for your knees. I also wear a cup but thats because I took a hit a while ago that put me in great pain that I hope I never feel again.

There was "one" kid with raven armour at toc3.

I pointed and laughed...then made fun of him behind his back...so did everyone else.

Dont waste your time or money....

Armour = pussy.

[dirtrider54]

yes armour, theres no point everybody will think your a puss do it for your own good

[BushmasterMAN]

ya honestly...armour is not a good idea if you don't want to be called an uber noob...

[Alpha]

ARMOR (stupid canadians/europeans) isnt' needed. Paintballs hurt, I'm not going ot lie. But I dont even feel it anymore. I have welts all over my arms right now, but they don't hurt and they didn't hurt when I got hit.

You have a fear of beign hurt, and unless you can get over that, paintball isn't for you.

[dirtrider54]

Yes exactly what I've been saying

[bob005]

armor? psshhh

no one needs armor. bleeding as the result of velocity spikes is manly.

armor will make you hot (swet hot, not secksy hot), it will restrict movement and do what for you? take a little pain out of it? list below:

Pros:
will take "pain" away

Cons:
cost
restricted movement
will make you hot
not comfortable
will make you look like a nub (then you get bunkered)

so look at it. weigh the cons and the pros...

[BushmasterMAN]

ya armor is for people who are scared of pain,which equals someone who shouldn't paintball until they aren't scared like Alpha said.

[dirtrider54]

yeah you have to take the pain to love the game

[Gray Fox]

im sorry but armor is for sissys who cant take pain, just go to a walk on game and wear some baggy cloths
