At what distance does a shot hurt the most?

Question

Obviously not real guns... ( paintballs, 6mm round balls, etc...)

the gun touching the body?

a little bit away from the body...?

far distance?

Answer 1

definitely the gun touching the body. Because of more pressure on the paintball itself.  Now that's a big bruise.

Answer 2

little bit away so it gets released from the barel
