I've never done paintball, but my son has. It just doesn't appeal to me, but I guess it's like a real life video game. I can imagine those things would sting.

Paintball is more of an attempt to replicate what it's like to be in a gun battle (it's origins are well before first-person shooter video games). Usually focuses on tactics and teamwork as much (or more so) as how well you shoot, so those with infantry military training usually have an advantage over the rest of us. Jen's brother's bachelor party team were at a disadvantage to the Army guys on the other team, thus the need to break out the dirty tricks to even the odds! 😁
I can imagine that those who have played lots of first-person games would be into it. Before I joined my previous company they had a paintballing session. A fair few of the people were Israelis who had done military service, but it seems they were not that great at it. I just tend to avoid violence except for the odd game.
Heh... yeah, not all military service will translate well into paintball skills. It's only a minority of them that train combat skills much past basic training. That said, first-person shooters do translate to some degree. But an infantry soldier that's into first-person shooters? Yeah, he/she is going to be tough to beat...
