Today, my friends and I went paintballing. The instructor showed us the sound of an unloaded gun by shooting at my face. It wasn't unloaded. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I played paintball with a bunch of friends. By the end of the day, my girlfriend and I were the only people left on the field. She shot me mercilessly, and I screamed like a little girl. 30 people watched, 4 people filmed. FML
Today, I went paintballing with my siblings. Once we were done, they realised I hadn't been shot at all. They cornered me in the forest and lit me up. I have welts all over my legs. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to join my friends for a game of paintball. I got shot in the same spot three times in a row. It turned out to be my own team, who mistook me for the enemy because I was wearing… camouflage. FML
Today, while playing paintball, a shot ricocheted off a wall and slammed into my nuts. I told the other team I was out and tried to run out of the field, but as I was jogging to the door I was hit again in the balls. My friend saw this and dropped his gun, laughing. It hit me too. FML
Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML
Today, I played an intense paintball match, with me and my friends versus my boyfriend and his buddies. When we won, my boyfriend went mental and said he only lost because of "lag". When I pointed out we weren't in a video game, he reacted by firing a paintball straight into my chest. FML
Today, I went paint-balling with my girlfriend. As we drove she was scared about getting shot a lot, especially in the head. I reassured her that with all the protective gear it was unlikely. First round, within a minute, she gets shot 3 times in the back of the head. FML
Today, I went paintballing with my girlfriend and her family. Her dad ended up shooting me, and I doubled over in pain. I thought that was it, until he stepped back and shot me several more times in the stomach. "Just double-tapping," he smirked. More like quadruple-tapping. FML
Today, I was paintballing when I got shot in the stomach and winded. As I was gasping for breath on the ground, someone came up and shot me point blank in my crotch. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Honestly, I would report him. That is incredibly unsafe, you aren't supposed to aim at people's faces regardless.

OP here, I had a painful bruise on my face, but I managed anyway.. But when I got home, I had to pull out a super wobbly tooth...

Oh, crap. That paintball facility had better pay for your dental care. I hope Australia's liability laws are in your favor, because that's messed up.

Australia's liability laws are the best :D

Well I definitely hope you reported that idiot instructor, that was completely wrong in every way.

Glad to hear it, OP. :) I hope you get your new tooth soon.

Damn! You're lucky he didn't shoot you in the eye. I've heard of a few people who have gone blind from being shot in the eye. Yeah, time to lawyer up.

I really hope you had a mask on paintball will take out an eye with ease, not that this distracts from the obvious points of gun safety. Guns should remain uncocked until ready for use. Never point the gun at something you don't intend to shoot. Anytime you pick up a gun assume it's loaded even if you loaded/unloaded it yourself, one in the chamber can be forgotten and it's just good practice anyway. These are just basic rules anyone should adhere to before they ever pick up a gun. Paintball guns are no exception, they can cause severe trauma, blindness and in the right place I know of 1 death although there is probably more, all could of been avoided if the above rules had been followed.

The instructor clearly needs it.

Report the instructor. Pointing at your face was very unsafe and they don't need to be doing it to anyone else.

That was a freaking shitty (forgive my profanity) instructor! Those rental markers aren't always in top notch condition, and what he did, could have caused you to get a composite bolt (the thing that pushes the paintball out of the barrel) in your face 100 feet per second. Really smart way to instruct people how to use the equipment...

That's one of the golden rules of paintball. Wardens always say something like "you shoot at anyone while play is not on, and you're kicked out of the facility". I'm sure that if the management don't fire him for doing that, you can take it higher and report him to the police if you're truly hurt / shaken by it. You'd have plenty of witnesses, and likely CCTV unless it's an outdoor range.
