that has to be the worst idea ever. its dangerous. what if they get shot in the eye? or killed? it could happen. one ball could swerve the wrong way and it would be over. they need protection. it should be banned.

I agree with Taco....I have played paint ball. It is a dangerous sport even with the proper PPE. It is a sport, not a game. I am not making value judgements here. I think every one here knows me well enought to know I am a 'To-each-their-own" kind of girl, and it might indeed be very erotic, if that is wht you are into, but from a safety standpoing, it is really bad judgement !!!

actually paintball is pretty safe when usin the proper mask, barrel plug/condom, and chronograph. the maximum speed the ball can travel is 300 feet per second(FPS). thats international. its even lower in some places like austraila. most feilds use 270-285 as their max FPS. 90% of feilds dont let people use anything but semi automatic fire so 1st time players wont be intimidated and for insurance reasons. also alot of fields will kick people out for shooting within so many feet of each other, usually 10 or 15 feet.

ive been playing paintball for 3 years and i love it but this bambi stuff has got to go. its people like this that will get the sport banned.

It's vegas!!!! everything is legal!!! well almost everything.

seriously though, aside from havign sex with them if you shoot them, what part would be illegal? Paintball is legal...being nude in private is legal. If I choose to get shot (with a paintball)while being naked, or to shoot someone who wants to be shot...why would it be illegal?
creepy? yes.
illegal? no.
