When I worked for ioNET (now part of PSI) in Oklahoma City, we had a
company-sponsored-and-REQUIRED paintball day, after a particuarly 
hectic month.  Stupid me (not knowing this course) shows up in urban
camo (black/grey/white) while everyone else shows up in jungle.

Surprisingly, I only got hit *once* - and it was a lucky shot, in
the back of the heel / achilles tendon area.  Of course, it was 
the size of a quarter and enough to take me out (which it would have
in a nasty way, in RL).  Other than that, I did damn well, considering
I was 5'11 and about 250 lbs at the time.  "AIM FOR THE BIG GUY!"  "BUT
WE CANT HIT HIM!!!"

Somehow, some way, the really annoying pain-in-the-ass tech support
"manager" (more concerned with how he looked to the PHB than how good
the department was doing - I'd set up the department, he fucked it up)
managed to get 3 or 4 rounds to the crotch at close range.. I wonder
how..... 8-)

They've got a Laser Tag arena here. hrm.... wonder if its "illegal" to
make your own IR Claymores. 8-)
