i once got shot there doing a run though waring only jeans.

mostly hit the shaft, and while that stung pretty badly and i had some weird bruises, wasn't as bad as i had thought it would be.

I wear sliders and old school, thick JT pants.

Last time I was out I got my first ever nut hit. Wasn't that bad, but still was enough to take me out for a game.

CP - waaaaaaaaaay too much info.

What ever pant I have on paintball wise.. and a pair of adidas warm up shorts underneath along with boxers..

Ive got paintball specific pants from empire/smart parts that have a bunch of padding in the crotcherler (new word yay!) region. As well as some that have none... Rase, Smokin'... What ever it is Ive been hit there many a times and I deal with it... Up as castle I too a string of bounces of my junk and just picked up the paint and shot it back at the defenders hehe.
