My very first day ever airsofting in any organized fashion was in my friend's backyard, with most everybody running springers and little gas pistols except for me, with a mid-range AEG, and another guy with a brand-new UTG L96. At one point, I poked my head around a corner at just the wrong time and got hit in the face by a round from the sniper. The yard was small enough, and the gun new enough that the round broke the skin and stuck to the tip of my uncovered nose, which proceeded to bleed for a decent amount of time. I have a fairly noticeably scar to this day.

We also got a lot of tackweed/tumbleweed related scratches where we play, which are irritating but not particularly dangerous, and are completely avoidable if you wear the right gear.
Our team was pretty smart and usually fairly careful, makes for some bland stories... It's all the teenage kids we skirmed with that did stupid stuff, like get their teeth shot out, etc...

Sure, I'll play.

I sprained both knees jumping into a hole at Sniperz Den.

I got lit up at point blank by a 420FPS AEG (don't you love ROE violations?) that required a couple stitches. Without my mouth-guard I'd be less a few teef.

I crawled into a ground hornet nest in the hills of Marcola. Got about 20 stings, had to strip out of my gear and shirt to get the fuckers out.

I've seen all manner of heat/cold injuries, dehydration, nourishment, teef injuries, and other preventable injuries.

I actually got a BB stuck in my ear once. Not like in the fleshy part like that photo that has circulated many Airsoft websites, but actually in my ear canal. Somehow it bounced and landed in there. Had to have somebody dig it out with tweezers. No permanent hearing damage that I know of, I've sustained far more ear damage at live music shows.

Rolling my ankle on many occasions. The worst was jogging down a hill at splat action. Then again later that evening when I won something in the raffle, on the walk up I rolled it on a tree root.

Getting hit in the front teeth. It felt like someone hit me with a board or something, like they were bent back. I dropped like a bag of bricks.
Getting hit in the teeth again and this time it took out a large chunk. This hurt a lot more since there was nerve exposed. Always great when you don't have insurance. Didn't think I would need a mouth guard at outdoors since often the impact isn't so bad. However, I think I caught a round from a bolt action at just about the min range.

The ear at anytime, especially during winter.

Haha great stories. But I've got a classic. One time my friend Sam and I were cutting up logs for bunkers in the woods and he dropped his end on top of a wasp nest and started screaming and zigzagging up the hill. I was smart enough to cut my breathing and walk away (they follow the carbon scent just like mosquitoes) and a minute later I see him a$$ nekked except for boots running hysterically for the house. Jackson our other friend threatened to deck him if he tried to go through the living room naked in front of his step sister and her friend. Needless to say we haven't resumed work in that section of the woods.

Edit: if this is about getting shot I was testing my friend's G36 and it wouldn't shoot so he took and started testing it like point blank on me, so I sprawled myself over the hood of my friend's car like 'Shoot me now!' so he switched to semi and got me pretty good a few more times. Seeing as he has 100 pounds on me it is not wise to challenge this fellow.

Most painful shot-

Operation Jungle Express, playing "Pablo Suarez" at the night game. Waiting in the warehouses in the village at SniperzDen, someone saw the signal light attached to my chest, and and fired a 410 FPS shot from 15 feet away directly into the tip of my tool. It was the most painful and most HILARIOUS thing I've ever had happen to me.

Worst injury-

Nerve damage to the left side of my scalp due to taking over 100 shots to the left temple at LOW6 from the same person.

Very close tie for me. What first comes to mind involves taking a shot from a bolt-action square in the forehead. It was one of those shots that damn near nocked me down, it had so much force. It bled for quite a bit, and Bigfoot might have actually got the shot on video. I recall swearing a lot.

Next was during CQC training at the PDX cage. I was moving down a hall, and the team that went into a room to check it was very quietly killed, I think, so we assumed it was clear, but it was not. Myself and another member of DRAT moved past the doorway and someone jumped out and hit both of us square in the back close range with an M203. That one hurt.....

Finally, we have OP. End of Lies (Endless Lies) at Sniperz Den. Near the end of the game when fucks started to not be given in the slightest, we were riding around in trucks and offloading to engage in firefights with random groups of enemies. During that time of excessive yelling, and probably singing, I took a burst square in my ear. Every section of it took fire, and I know for a fact I swore excessively.

Runner Up: OP. Mad Dog had me laying down directly on some stinging nettles that someone had trampled and made flat on a trail. My arms were buring, and looked horrific. On the ride home, I fell asleep and snored, giving me a sore throat, which added to my misery.

I went romping through some nasty poison oak and got it everywhere including my boots, so I after I broke out I washed everything except my boots, so every time I put them it just caused my calves to break out for weeks or about 2 months.
I would scratch my legs with my feet in my sleep so it was always enflamed :evil:

At a skirm 2 years ago, someone threw a Thunder B that just so happened to land in my hood. As I scrambled to get it out of my hood, it exploded. The damn thing gave me a nice gash across my cheek/jaw area (requiring stitches) when it busted open and I was hearing bells for about a week.

Runner up didn't happen to me, but I was apart of it. My buddy and I were on a dash to a tree line and I stepped on a significantly large angled stick that flipped up with quite a lot of power and nailed my friend in the crotch. (Like when someone steps on a shovel and it hits them in the face).

I shot a guy dead center of his forehead, at about 90 feet, with my g700g sniper rifle. He had already been shot, wasn't calling his hits, and was using his radio to give away our teams positions. He had already been warned, so when he popped his head up-- I let it fly. The welt (and blood blister) made him look like a unicorn as it stood up a good inch off his head. I felt a little bad, but follow the rules man.

I remember that, but I think it was a lockpick instead of tweezers.

Around last year at Camp R&R some lady was camping in a building & shot anyone who went around the building trying to shoot her.I tried to take a quick peek around the corner of the building & there she was, I was shot twice in the cheek at point-blank range with her M4. I bled from two little cuts on my face & it stayed numb for about 20 minutes. It looked pretty cool with the camo face paint I had on.

Got shot in the cheek once by a douche nozzle running a hot gun and had to pop the BB out, kind of like a plastic zit.

The shot that hurt the worst was at a USFOR/Hadji game. I was running civilian garb and only wearing a T-shirt. Got shot in the neck (kind of hurt), and raised my arm to show I was hit. Then I got shot by a BB that went up my sleeve and hit me square in the armpit. That really smarted.
