I used to paintball when I was younger. Paintball injuries are *nasty.* I got hit in the throat, and no words I could use to describe that would come close to conveying the OMG SEARING PAIN. I always wore a neck-guard after that, but still.
I also got barely grazed on one knuckle, which didn't hurt at all, so I ignored it. Then looked down a few minutes later to discover my knuckle swelled to the size of a pingpong ball and had turned green. (IT WAS ORANGE PAINT.)
