Worst paintball moments:

I was crawling to a bunker while a friend was providing cover fire. He had a paintball break in his barrel. The slime from the broken paintball gave the next shot fired and unpredictable tragectory. He hit me right in the butthole. I was out, and sore.

Getting hit in the throat.

Getting hit in the facemask in the mouth. The mask acts as a strainer and the goo continues into your open mouth. Paintballs have a gelatin shell with a fish oil/food coloring filler. Some colors (like red and orange) use iodine too. Some manufacturers use soap in the mix. I got hit with one in this manner that contained soap. I couldn't get that taste out of my mouth for hours, no matter how much beer I drank...
