Worst Airsoft Injury Ever
 

Whats that worst and most painful shot you've ever attained from another person shooting you?

I didnt get shot but I've seen people get their teeth broken and I've seen people trip and land on their faces.

First game I ever played, I got shot right on the top of the head with landens (cortexburn) sniper rifle...I remember it was bleeding a bit, but my hair covered it up.

wow broken teeth, never witnessed those incident- might wanna wear mouthgaurds from now on :)

Erik that must have hurt :p

Like pierce through!? OWWW!

Yeah, that was at the first Calgary Westcan. Didn't see it happen, but saw the result.

Gotta purchase those metal plated gloves. That would be good for protection.

Got shot nearly point blank in the front tooth (the one with a $1000 crown on it :eek: ) the bb broke in two and one half lodged itself inside my bottom lip.

HOLY CRAP! man that sucks. How much did that cost to repair?

Will a Balaclava prevent those kinds of injuries?

Alrite after seeing those pics a mouthgaurd, gloves and a balaklava is a must. Those are serious especially teeth injuries.

balaclava won't protect much. Maybe prevent the skin from breaking, but not welting.

Just close your mouth and you most probably won't break any tooth.

That sounds like a good idea :p any of you guys wear mouth gaurds?

short answer, no

long answer.... maybe... depends on the actual orientation of the shot.

Tooth breaks.. of which I have witnessed one.. and suffered a little chip myself ...ocurr on direct shots to the teeth.. a belaclava over the mouth will reduce the chance of such a shot.. but I have received bleeders through a belacalva.. and so it stands to reason that a direct shot to the teeth through a belacava can still damage teeth.

There are many types of belaclavas.. really thin ones to next to nothing.. good thick stretchy ones offer more protection.

I now wear a cut down paintball mask most of the time.. with a belaclava underneath... for the close in engagments at TTAC3.
