I think he was referring to his friends playing playing paintball, not laser tag

Bruises and knots are common. I tend to go home each time with a sore knot on my head(even though I wear a hat to soften the hits to my head). My nephew got shot in the leg and had a welt/bruise that lasted for months. This gets especially bad when you have assholes on the field cranking up their fps(somewhat common). Most fields have limits for fps(and chrono before you go out), but adjusting it on some paintball guns is as easy as turning a knob, and the hardest is just turning a nut with a small wrench. They hurt like hell when people do it, and especially bad when you get hit from some of the closer quarters(though most fields implement a bunker/safe distance rule where you can't shoot anyone from around <15ft or so).
