I’ve been hit by paintballs many dozens of times.
Each one stings for about 5 seconds. But only if you get hit on bare skin. It has ZERO stopping power, unless the honor system is followed, or there is a referee to say “you’re out!”
This is stupid beyond words.

For many generations farmers and orchard owners have used shotguns with rock salt. You aim low. It goes through jeans. It burns like fury. You just want to be somewhere else. Been there done that. Older and wiser.
