it did NOT work. Yes, it does feel good to be a genius.

I basically cut out some cardboard in the generic shape of a torso. Once cut, I reinforced it with duct tape. To protect my vitals, I added 8 layers of foam. I gave the gun to my uncle and told him to shoot me right in the chest. He walked back around 15 feet. He shot, and I hit the ground in pain!

Oh yeah, look at that giant pale keg :] My wife loves it and that's all that matters. Off to the drawing board!

Nicely done :P

Go pick up a used motocross chest protector on ebay, might work a bit better

I love paintball!

I just wear a winter jacket, and hope for the best, Haha.

In theory, I could wear my Riding jeans and see how that works.

chest protector? I always just wear a t-shirt. Either your air is too high, or your skin is too soft.

Yeah I always went with just a T-shirt as well or a light jacket for the winter.

You'd probably do better using something hard like plastic vs. soft foam.

Y'all weak. I just wear shorts and a white tee, and one of those thin disposable jump suits you can buy to keep the paint off. I done know why but I just don't get welts. It's not that painful imho. But getting hit on the knuckles does hurt and suck because it makes your fingers swell making it harder to shoot.

I think empire makes an actual chest prorector. Any reason you need one other than pain protection? My suggestion is just play without one and you'll get used to the hits. That or you'll get better and not take hits as often.

Pfft. Don't wear protection. It only hurts for a second.
