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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

What a dumb **** the instructor is

As someone who use to ref at a paintball field, that's funny! As far as being professional about it that's as far from setting the example as you can get. Now for all the people worried about injury (I use to play professionally, yes there is pro paintball) I'm sure this guy was wearing his goggles. Paintballs travel on average of 300 feet per second. That's roughly 204.5 mph. The lenses are designed to take that impact literally hundreds of times so his eyes were protected. I would tell customers that getting shot in the lenses is the best place to get marked by a paintball because you don't feel anything. If he was shot in the ventilation holes in the mask his lips would have been stung from the gelatin shell but there wouldn't be injury. If the goggles were not worn at this point this would have been a different story. Statistically you are more likely to get injured playing golf or going bowling. Paintball is one of the safest sports there is IF the goggles are worn on the playing field and up to the point the game is over and the barrel blocking devices are installed on everyone's markers (the correct way to say paintball gun) once the game is over. I hope the ref apologized and did something to compensate you for more than likely scaring the piss out of you from the start.

Lesson learned: Don't let someone point a gun to your face even if it's a paintball gun.

I hope that guy was fired and reported beyond the company for that. That is a terrible thing to do.

At first I didn't see the word "paint" in the FML and I got so scared that you were shot in the face..

what happened to "treat every weapon as if it is loaded"? this guy should be fired for not practicing safety procedures.

My thoughts exactly...

That was the instructors fault. He should have made sure it was empty AND should not have been pointing it at any one, it's gun etiquette
