AIBU to ask if low impact paint balling for 8 year olds is a recipe for many tears?

[Thelowquietsea]

I guess I'm asking those whose kids have done low impact paint balling (designed for 8 year olds up), whether it hurts a lot still?

I know it's designed to hurt less, but I have no sense of what that means!

My DC went for a friend's 8th birthday last year. They had a lot of fun and assure me that getting hit by the paint didn't hurt at all.

Apparently it's like having a water balloon thrown at you.

Oh, that's good to know! Thanks
