Some of my teammates laughed at me for wearing a cup. The funny thing was, I got hit there by a sniper shot and I heard the smack on the plastic, and the best part was, the PB didn't break.

After seeing someone take a direct hit in the nads w/ a hockey puck (they weren't wearing a cup), I always wear one for these kind of sports.

A good paintball player once told me; "If you're playing right, you should only ever get shot in the weapon or the facemask".

Play by that rule, and you won't need a cup.

I've always wanted to get into paintball, especially one of these bigger-type games. Maybe when I move out...

Some, sad news. They guy that "almost died" as it turns out, past away that evening The family didn't wan't anyone to know until the tournament was over. He was 31 and from Idaho. They had a memorial paintball game for him which raised ~$1200 for his family.

I guess if you gotta go, he died doing what he loved.

Well said.. Condolences to his family, and I think they did the right thing waiting till after the tournament, probably would of turned it pretty sour.
