Default Just got shot at with paintballs!

I'm coming home from work about 9:00pm and pop...pop..splat...splat ..pop..splat! I thought my windshield was broken. At this time I wasn't sure what had hit my car. I examined my car there was 6-7 pink splat marks on the passenger side and 1 on the front windshield. Damn kids must have been hiding in the bushes or behind a fence. I washed the paint off my S, then reported the incident to H.B.P.D. Won't know if there is any damage/scratches until I can see it in the sunlight. How random is that?

I dont think scratches but Im thinking there may be door ding comparable dents. When those little boogers are coming at you at 300 feet per second...lets just hope there is no damage.


to people like that who give a bad name to a great hobby. Those guys should be fined heavily...they could have done serious damage...(just think about if your top was down and you got shot)


In any case, I hope everything works out for the best.

i think they might make small dents. I was shot by some paintballs about 10 feet away...and they created some huge ass welts that lasted for months. I think that little kid tweaked his gun way above 300fps...

I remember those days well...


Still seems like only yesterday when I got shot in the back of the neck by someone who bunkered me....

Jesus Christ...It left a welt the size of a grape fruit on my neck for weeks
