    I think the member, Cloves, used to paint ball in kilts. I know she had threads about it.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    More information needed. What is your kilt made of? Does it get stained (assuming you get hit)? No sporran? What's a marker?

    Awesome--in theory. I would imagine it is painful when hit in the legs.

    A 'marker' is the 'gun'. To try and remove the 'warfare' and militaria connections, the governing bodies, certainly in the UK, decided to rename them 'markers' as the project 'marks' your 'target', so mummy wouldn't complain that her little Johnny is going around shooting people.
    Pure semantics of course but...

    Yeah! Awesome! You might want to go in an alkilt or something like it. Less noticeable in the woods and sturdier. Less ouch if you take a hit to the kilt area.

    Thanks, Martin.

    So either, you're good at this or you're a "marked man".
