For love of the game...
There are people who will not play paintball because they are afraid it will hurt.
Are YOU responsible for that?
Do you show your non-paintball friends your welts? Do you shoot your friends in the backyard with a marker shooting 360FPS? Do you show them your tournament DVD's without explaining rec-ball isn't near as brutal? Do you show off your $1200, 15 BPS marker without explaining T-Square doesn't allow that kind of fire power during rec-ball play?
If your first concern when you get to the field is how target rich the crowd is maybe you should re-examine your paintball motivations. If you are not helping new players you are hurting them. If you are not promoting the sport you are hurting paintball. If everyone is not having fun then everyone will lose in the end.
