ohh man he must be feeling really bad!!!!!! i hope his friends and everybody learns from this and i reallyy feel sorry for your son!!!!!! i dont know what to say !!!!!!! never let kids play with paintball guns no matter how much equipment they got on them and people or parents should teach them the safety of using the gun and tell them what will happen if they do this and that never point a gun in ur eye or in anyones eye or face always be careful these things are not toys u will think it might not happen to you but u never know!!!!!!!! well all you can do is stop thinking your deffrent and stop thinking that u couldv done this or that or i wish i wouldv never played paintball or if my hand was in front of my face or i had my helmet on !!!!! this is what happend and accapt it you are not deffrent im soo sorry for what happend man !!!!!!!!!!!.......

im really sorry!! i bet it hurt ive played for bout 2 yrs and ive never heard of something that bad happen. i recomend u keep playing but take more protection and allways have youre mask on. ONLY POINT YOURE GUN AT WHERE UR NOT AFRAID TO SHOT AND KEEP UR BARREL PLUG IN IF UR RELOADING. THIS ADVICE GOES OUT TO ANYONE THAT IS A BEGINER.!!!!!
