How long do welts friggin last!?

[Knux68]

Damn! I was playing at an indoor place, and this guy blitzed when i was reloading. He shot me like 4 times, but once in the leg. I left, sorta mad, but ah well. I payed him back later that day.

Anyway later that night, i look for all my welts. My back, my arms, my stomache, and my leg.

5 weeks later (today), i still have this!

Ive never had a wlt last over 6 days, and this is still goin (however faded as you can see in the pic) I took that pic like 2 hours ago too.

So how long has a welt lasted on you?

-Knux predicts it to scar

[Ripcal]

Sometimes they hit deep and hard they take a while to fade away. It wont scar, its an internal wound! Well anyway, go to the docter and get some hemoglobin and white blood cells shots cause you body cant handle it!

[in trauma]

my longest one was 3 weeks

[cranberynvodka]

i have a mark on my back from about a month ago i got hit in the back from 5 ft away its just a 68 caliber mark it doesnt hurt and it doesnt go away!!!!!!! its like a lil darker then my skin but its noticible

[fear my impulse]

i have a permanent scar on my lower left shoulder..

[cranberynvodka]

i aint gettin no shots!!!!!!!!!

For some reason whenever I get shot in my upper right arm, it bruises really bad, and stays a bit. I guess it's because I'm holding my gun up with that hand and my muscles are flexed when being shot. Anyway, I get shot their everytime I play, but one of them left the inside part (next to my chest) from my elbow all the way to my shoulder, purple for like 4 weeks. It didn't hurt at all, but hit it just right.

anytime when i get hit it lasts for at least 2 weeks i have one on my hand for werei bled and it has been a month and a week and its still circle of red. i always get hit in the hand no matter what day it is or where i am at. everytime i play paintball i get hit in the hand. idont know why though it just happens.

[cranberynvodka]

Wow, someone heals quick. Personally I find you can still see where a ball hit me 2 weeks after. Healing time differs from person to person, you just seem to take much longer

[jellopuud]

2-3 weeks

[DraXsuS]

I still got one form 4 weeks ago,!(i was bunkered)

[Tony G]

i got one from a fat kid wit a cocker 3 weeks ago and still have it

[filasophikal]

i still have one on my neck, and that was 6 weeks ago... actually it doesn't look like anything now, but still some leftover top skin, is little darker than my normal skin color.

[fear my impulse]

that's what mine looks like! exept it's been there for over 2 months. i'm serious. it's in an eliptical shape, where it's kinda faded out in the middle, but it's thin, then gets thicker going out further..on my shoulder..just a description of the dark skin thingy..permanet scar baby! hell yea!!

[Landon]

You guys dont heal too well.. Id hate to see you with a major wound!

[Sharc]

i have one on my upper right arm, been about a couple months now. i kinda like it, lol

[krasher]

I have welts on my back from...3 months ago on the 21st. Damn.

[Tekbone]

I have one on my bicep from 2 months ago. It's faded but you can still see the circular shape

[flyingdeadbody2]

welts last anywhere from a day or two, to, well forever.
my friend got a close range burst in the forearm, and had nasty, bloody welts
thats bad, but (hopefully) that wont happen much.

[Super Nick]

I have a mark on my leg that has been there for about three weeks now, and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.

[Letchworth40]

i still have a mark from last winter when an "old" marb bounced off my shoulder.

[sniper1rfa]

why is it that bouncers hurt REEEAAAL bad (as compaired to non bouncers)? i have a welt from maybe 3 1/2 months ago from some nelson challenger that bounced. its just a dark mark but still, its there.

[Richy_C]

because the energy from the ball all goes into your skin instead of causeing the ball to break, and the throat shots, well, they stick around. Anyway, 1 day i was playing indoor, and i only got shot 1 spont on my body the entire day, but it was every game i was hit there like 20 times over all, and it stayed till like 2 months
