Paintball at DNA

Paintball safety and protection

Paintball is relatively safe sport. Statistically it's safer than golf!

Safety is of primary importance at DNA Paintball. We demand that goggles be worn at all times while you are inside the playing are ( fields). Our fields also require that barrel plugs (plastic inserts that prevent projectiles from leaving your gun's barrel) be used while players are out of the playing fields (players with their own paintball markers). Ignoring safety issues is a good way to get yourself ejected from a field very fast.

Further, due to our motto "safety first", we offer you full protective gear covering you from head to toe, including Paintball snoods, gloves, coveralls, chest protectors (for ladies and children) and, of course, the all important mask. All you need to bring with you are comfortable playing shoes like sneakers or boots.

Does it hurt to get shot by paintball marker?

The paint pellets break open upon impact and generally cause very little pain. What pain is experienced is more of a stinging sensation from the pellet's impact through protective clothing. Of course, the closer you are to the muzzle of the gun, the higher the velocity of the pellet when it hits you thus, more pain may be experienced when shot at close range rather than farther away.

In general, one can count on coming off the field with a few welts from paintball impacts but your most annoying injuries are those of insults from fellow players or opponents.
