This Is Why Some People Just Shouldn't Paintball

So I was browsing the internet the other day and I just so happened to come across a video that left me yelling at my computer. It's about a kid, that obviously doesn’t know what he's doing, trying to figure out why his paintball gun isn't working. Notice that there is no sign of any protective equipment. He could have take five seconds to slide a mask over his face, especially sense it's more or less the only piece of safety gear you actually need. But no, he decided he would rather spend those five seconds making the rest of us look bad by demonstrating one of the main reasons most people who have no experience with the game do not want to get involved in it. I mean come on, what parent in their right mind would let their kid start up paintballing if they caught a glimpse of this first.

This video has been exposed to be a hoax. But that does not make your point invalid. This video does hurt the reputation of the game regardless. Parents would not automatically know it was a hoax, and therefore would not let their child explore playing paintball.
