I would hope not!
Well then all the better, it would hardly be cricket to leave IMHO out of the mix. Besides this is a poll. Would you be willing to run around in the desert brush and potentially get shot in the ass for 1000.00 a "pop" ( 2500 if you escape getting hit!) . Is the JuanitaTech booty tough enough to take it? Are you quick enough to dodge? Would 10, $ 100 bills in your hand at the end be worth the welt on your rear end?
Especially when there’s pricks everywhere. There’s gotta be thousands of cactus out there in the desert.
A measly grand to get shot in the ass? I don’t think so.
At this point, the distinct pleasure of putting welts on my ass is being provided free to Mr. Tech. Should I start invoicing him?
:eek: No way!
Now that you’re allowed goggles and helmets, sure. Sounds like an easy way to make good money.
Dunno if the “getting shot in the ass” would bother me.
Being groped, degraded, spoken badly about to my face, and generally treated badly… well, I just don’t need the money that bad…
I’d do it clothed.
I would, sounds like fun (plus I am very poor)
:eek: Uh, a big fat NO to that! I am not into pain and paintball pellets hurt like a MOFO, to use my husband’s terminology.
I’m pretty open-minded, I think, but something about this really does turn my stomach. So no, I wouldn’t do it unless I was desperate for the money. No, actually - more like Desperate. With a capital “D”.
Hey…for a grand you could do whatever you want to my ass…(as long as it’s not gay).
HIJACK TIME
When we used to play paintball years ago, I accidently left the CO2 tank out in the sun. Anyhow, I hit some dude we were playing with (who turned out to be a state trooper) in the neck and almost took his head off. Later we clocked my gun at 300fps (above 150 fps is unsafe).
I myself, during a particularly intense game (sometimes we ended up almost hand-to-hand) got shot point-blank in the face (our gun technology tended to outpace our safety equipment technology) and for a week, it looked like someone kicked my ass.
actually I could go on and on with paintball stories but the point is, I would not want to get hit with a paintball gun on bare skin if I could help it.
No, but I’d pay $1,000 to shoot at one of the sick guys playing this game - at a range of about 1 inch.
I’d do it. I’d only have to work once a month! Imagine twelve days of work in a whole year. If I worked a couple times a month, I could quickly pay off my student loans and build a sizeable savings. I’d much rather do that than trade the majority of my waking hours away for pocket change at some crappy job.
Drachillix comes happily home from the paintball fields with welts and a fat lip from a paintball that got through his facemask, so NO.
I like my softer parts, thank you very much, and I don’t want anybody trying to shoot them off!!!
Uh no, I have been hit in the neck by a 250+fps ball it will nowhere near “take someones head off” Stings like hell, but nothing dangerous. I have never played at a commercial field where the speed limit was less than 260, 300 fps is typical. Without proper protective gear there is no “safe speed”. Bleeding welts are pretty common from close range hits on bare skin but thats the most serious injury I have ever ever seen from it.
This kind of drastic exaggeration of the effects of a paintball hit further damage the reputation of an already controversial activity.
The only real thing I object to is the insistence of the “founder” that the grls not wear goggles. His rationale that deer dont wear helmets has got to be in the hall of fame for stupidest answers ever.
Other than that, I would categorize this under stupid things that people would pay lotsa cash money for. This could all be just one big hoax tho.
I think it is a hoax. It gets you to watch the news and hit their web site, and even the stupidest small businessman alive would realize that if one of those girls bursts an eyeball because some idiot couldn’t aim low enough, he is in for a WORLD of lawsuit…
The thread title gave me the impression that it was $1,000 for each shot in the ass. Which I would do.
Sounds like good exercise. Unless there are stickerburrs out there, in which case, no. I would just work in the equipment shed for $12 an hour.
For some reason, the sheer craziness of this trumps the sleaze factor. In my nutty mind.
