Does Paintball Hurt? What Should You Expect?

NEW TO
PAINTBALL

Paintball can sting slightly when a ball hits you, but it’s more of a quick pinch than real pain and most players barely notice once the game starts.

What It Feels Like:

WHAT IS 
PAINTBALL?

 

  • Similar to a rubber band snap or being flicked
  • Less painful than expected when wearing proper clothing
  • Most first-timers say, “That wasn’t bad at all!”

 



How to Minimize the Impact:

WHAT IS 
PAINTBALL?

  • Long sleeves, baggy pants, and layers like hoodies or sweatshirts can help cushion any hits
  • Try to keep bare skin to a minimum
  • Wear your gear properly and follow all referee instructions during play.
  • Try low-impact paintball (available in private group bookings)
