Stupidist/Most Dangerous Things You've Done Involving Paintball
I hope some of you post in this lol. For an experienced player this was one of my stupidest mistakes I've ever made, I just about took my right eye out.
In July of this year, I was playing out back of my house with a few friends. I tripped, fell and injured my leg. We stopped playing while I tryed to get up - my leg was actually popped out of place but I didn't know that until I tryed to stand. When I stood it went back in...and hurt like a b*tch.
I was sitting on the ground for a while after that, waiting for a few minutes before I tryed to stand up. In the mean time I was shooting at a tree just for the hell of it.
This is where I almost shot myself in the eye:
After I had enough of that I was going to try to get up again. Instinctively I put the safety on before I moved. Somehow I forgot that I just put it on...so I went to click it on - and with that my safety was off. I was holding my gun at an odd angle when I stood up and my finger or thumb slid onto the trigger, shooting a paintball onto the side of my head. It hit me right where the sideburns come down and it f*ck did it ever hurt.
I really don't know WHY I didn't uncock my gun, and I don't even know why I had it pointing at myself. I'm sure you're all going to nail me on this because an inch to the left and I would have taken myself square in the eye...

My GF was cleaning the bathroom and I just got done cleaning my tippy. I aired it up to make sure the O rings were right and walked down the hall. As I passed the bathroom I saw the door slightly open, just enough for the barrel of my gun with my girl facing away from me completely lost in her own world. To make a short story shorter, I goosed her with it and pulled the loud lever a few times (its flatlined which is pretty loud in a small bathroom). She about jumped out of her skin Not stupid so much as funny, but still, she coulda had a heart attack or somthin I guess.

i one got shot in the face twice with no mask on... kinda a long story but some may remember this thread from around christmas time last year. one was on my left cheek about an half an inch or so below and half an inch to the left of my left eye, and one on the bridge of my nose between the eyes, and it was dead center (vertically) with the center of my eyes... had my head been turned about half an inch to the left i could have been permanently blinded in both eyes or even killed. that is something far beyond good luck... since that day i have had a much stronger belief in the supernatural
i also looked down the barrel of my tippmann once when i first got it to see if there was a ball in the chamber for some reason... balls in the hopper, safety off, gun cocked, co2 tank screwed in... was probablly the most dangerous thing i have done that was my fault. i wasnt even thinking about it really, but luckily nothing happened.
Alright, i have these old school swimming goggle looking things that only cover your eyes that used to be old paintball googles. Well i put them on, went to walmart with my old old old old old old old old old pirahna r6, shot a plywood board about 30 feet away, bounced back and hit me in the teeth, broke all down my throat and stuff.
Then about 3 weeks ago, i shot myself under the mask in the lip/chin area. God damn did that leave big ulcers in my front lip.
This didnt happen to me but a guy I was playing with once. He was using a shocker and put it between his legs so he could have his hands free, I cant remember why. So, he was fixing what ever he was fixing and his gun went off. Shot himself right between the eyes. Luckily we were on the field so he had his mask on. Just goes to show that safeties are a good thing.
Stupidest thing I can remember since I've gotten "decent" at paintball. I'm in the snake and geting to the end, look down tape and shoot out back left. Then wrap on the knuckle and bump. Get to the end. Look down tape, wrap, then come up for a run through. As I'm coming up the gun falls out of my hand and I get lit up.
i told my sister to hold my gun, right before we were going to start , as she grabed it it she hit herself with her own gun on the leg.( she was holding her own gun in other hand)
and then yelled im out! because she thought we started.. lol..
I have a first timer who said he was really good cover me on one of my first times hitting the snake and i crawled up maybe 1/3 into when i come out the top he shoots me right in the back or the head. Lets say I now know who is playing behind me in the snack. Oh and when I had my Piranha I feild striped it with the CO2 still in.
after a game one time my friend thought it would be funny to point his gun at me....he had just turned up the velocity to around 360 fps. Well i ran and after about 5-8 feet i hear a shot and the son of a bi*** hit me right in the back of the ear. It hurt sooooooooooooo bad.
This isn't as bad as the first one but for some reason my friends all like to shoot themselves in the foot. When we're not playing at a field and taking a break, they just stand there and shoot themselves in the foot a few times. I really don't get it...what morons lol. Well whatever turns you on .
Oh and for any hockey fans out there - Ottawa Senators have the Cup this year and there ain't nothin' you can do about it .

We were playin in my buddies' back yard. N' using his above ground pool as a bunker. It was one of those cheap one with flimsy sides. Off the break he wen sliding into it, and caved the one side in, and went into the pool gun n' all.
