Has anyone ever played paintball in a kilt?

True...the guy that got me good was shooting hot...and instead of giving me the chance to surrender he shot me in the kidney from about 5 feet away...

I just cant think about wearing a kilt and giving him that shot!
I would have lost a NUT!

Not a paintballer, myself. But, even if I was, I wouldn't try it bare legged.

I play speedball and don't think I would try to play any tournys in a kilt. I practice with out a shirt on, it doesn't hurt that bad. In tournys I like all the padding I can get to help with the bounces. I would play a walk on game in one if I had one I wasn't afraid to screw up.

Souzaphone, what kinda marker ya shooting? My main one is a E2 cocker I built from all aftermarket parts. I'm about to send it off to have it halfblocked and re annoed.

paintball is one thing I would not do in a kilt. just doesn't seem wise to me.

I have been an avid paintball player since the mid 80's and almost always play in a kilt these days. In fact, I'm playing tomorrow in one. I DO wear a cup while playing, however.

I mostly play stock class pump paintball and several of my buddies play kilted as well. I had a few threads with pics up awhile back.

I don't do paint ball either, but I did consider kilted hunting. That thought occurred only briefly, then I thought about all of the briars and decided against it.

Many moons ago, my fiancee and I were gearing up for a night of indoor paintball with some other students from the college, and I took a bit of ribbing from one overly-macho doofus about the fact that I'd slipped an athletic up into my pants before we got started.

My fiancee managed to sneak up on him while he was prone, and was standing just short of his feet (with him on his stomach) when she requested his surrender.

He rolled over on his back, and got her in the facemask from about six feet away - raising a welt on her face through the vents in the mask.

She rather calmly lowered her gun and shot him several times in the groin (think about the direction, if she's standing at his feet while he's lying on his back) from the same distance. The reaction was... spectacular.

If you wanna play stupid, expect to be shot in the same fashion.

That's Great!

Give your wife a kiss from me...as a "thank you" for giving that guy what he deserves.

I would be too worried about the effect of the paint on my kilt(s)! :rolleyes:

I'm a paintball player and I wouldn't play in a kilt. I'm mostly into woodsball, so the trees and rocks wouldn't be very kind to bare legs let alone the paint itself. I don't even think I'd play speedball in a kilt......how do you slide into bunkers ChefDave?

McClef, the paint is water soluable so as long as you can throw your kilt in the washing machine you're pretty much good to go. Some fill is a little thicker but most rec ball paint comes out easily.

What kind of setup do you have ChefDave? I currently have a cheaper Spyder Xtra, but it still provides loads of fun.
