Paintball
I've done many many dumb things while paintballing, among them:

Misuse of grenade - pulled out paint grenade, lit the fuse (like a massive match), burned fingers on white hot fuse, dropped grenade at feet... BANG
Result was me and two angry team mates down. Bugger.

Shot myself in the foot - was given a crappy old marker, aimed it safely at the floor, thought the safety was on. Turns out both safety catch and trigger were loose. Bugger again.

Rambo charge - tried to single-handedly charge position held by what must've been the entire enemy team. Ow.

Combined arms - tried to storm fort with my mate M, turns out it was held by the rest of OUR team. Muppet.

Holly - tried to take cover by diving into a holly bush, which is not only prickly, but also gives sod all cover. Ow

There's probably more that I've forgotten. Still think paintball's great though!

Apologies for length, I've been hit in the crotch too many times

my friend got shot squarely in the ballbag from a distance of about 6 feet in paintball and was doubled up in agony for half an hour. we were ready to call an ambulance because we seriously thought he'd burst a testicle!

at least this sport has taught some of us that fighting in a war is not our thing.
Although we would get a medal for bravery for running up to a bunch of Taliban shouting "YOU WANT SOME SONNY JIM?", we would end up with more holes than a colander.
