I am thinking of using this for paintball. How much would this constrict me during crouching or sprinting?

I love this for paintball and don't find it constricting at all. I play woodsball/magfed and I am able to move and crouch and still carry my gear securely. Be prepared to reinforce some of the cross-stitching on the strapping if you carry a lot of gear. Easy to do with a needle and thread or even some staples. The lightweight webbing that makes this vest wearable in warm weather doen't give some of the factory stitiching a lot to grab on to.

I think it would work great for paintball (I play paintball) because this vest is so adjustable you can ajust it for length and width so you can have it a bit tight if you want I use it for 3-gun competitions and I'm sprinting and jumping over things all the time during that. So I think it would work well for what you want.

My experience is that pretty much any of these will be at least a bit uncomfortable simply because you aren't meant to rest so much weight on your shin and knee for extended periods of time. I would overall recommend this model, but would also recommend getting a padded cover for the pad, which will give you a bit more comfort.

It would "work", not a ton of room for elevation needed to compensate for ball drop at extended range. Unless you have an Armson rifled barrel, you will have the normal "drop" of your paintballs at extended range. Also, I'm not sure how "waterproof" this is. Half the time I'm hit by a paintball the gun takes the hit. My sight is on my 7yr old daughter's .22 cal. rifle. Can't beat it for the price.

I would not use this for paintball. There are specific face masks for paintball play at comparable prices that are much better suited for the rigors of paintball play!

I don't think it would be good for running as I find it hard to secure so it stays in place when I tried wearing it for jumping jacks. You could have better luck though.

Yes, if it is tight and you use the retention strap for the gun. I would also recommend wearing a tank or something under it as there would be some rubbing in the motion of working out. It is comfortable enough against the skin in normal circumstances, but the movement of a workout would rub. I have worn it while cycling many times, but always over a shirt and then my jersey or something over everything.

I can't comment on it's comfort. Haven't used it in the field. This sling was put on a Maverick 88 so that my hands would be free if needed. Seems secure enough for this.

The pistol grip is very tight and a little tiring to use if your changing positions a lot. It's something you have to get use to. But you will have to worry about it slipping on you.

It covers your ears you could use it with goggles. I'm press sure it would fit under a helmet. It you buy the right helmet. It would be fine for paintball

Sorry, I can't help. I had to send mine back because it was too powerful. It broke every brand of paintball I used inside the marker. I ended up going with a less powerful tank.

I would try it at 80 psi. You may have to adjust higher or lower, depending on how hard the material is that you're shooting in to.

Sorry for the delay, I have been on vacation. This knife is very sturdy but people who play paintball are used to being hit and usually wear some type of protective gear. These knives could hurt someone if enough force is applies and they would be very useful in hand-to-hand combat training. I would say it only depends on the force used.

I think like 425 FPS. Safe for skin, not made for metal bb. Spring compressed air no CO 2. At point blank bare skin it leaves a light bruse. Ski goggles n neck guard i recommend

tuck in your shirt and wear underwear and that's not really an issue. Also, this is why handguns have tennifer coatings, to avoid rust. If a little sweat is going to break your gun, I certainly wouldn't trust my life to a gun that poorly made. I've done far worse things to my rifles and handguns in training than sweat on them a little.

I love mine for running ... no movement of my gun whatsoever, I forget it's even there. In order to be concealed you can't wear skin-tight running clothes, though ... at least a baggy shirt over the top.

I would not recommend it for "arm locking" to stabilize your shooting game. The leather stretches like nothing I've ever seen before, some Chinese cow crossbred with a rubber plant if I had to guess. Will not buy another and do not recommend for anything other than getting that "I've got a sling on my rifle" look. Some things you just shouldn't skimp on.

Hi, I'm sorry it took so long to reply. In my opinion, I do not believe this would be effective in fending off an attacker. When you get hit by the paint balls, there is minimal pain, if any. Hope this helps!
