Hmmm, I'm a wimp too, it doesn't seem to put me off paintball (I am even
playing front this year =8-0 mental note; buy a cricket box today, that
website made me nervous!
All you need is the right protective gear (I have, knee and shin pads,
armoured gloves, neck pad, a rigid full face mask, a baseball cap and a
healthy fear of pain; All these together means that it stings when i get
hit, but rarely anyhting worse.
Try it, get a group of mates together and go to your local site. You may
find that it will take over your life, but its ok, you'll like it
:-D
