Also if you dont have some sort of fear of getting hit, then its not really as fun because you wont be as careful. This is just what i think though, if people like wearing lots of protection, theres nothing wrong with that.

I usually wear full armor (either an IBA with soft armor packs, repro SAPI plate in the front, collar and groin protectors, or an FSBE AAV with soft armor packs and front and rear SAPI), plus whatever pouches on the MOLLE... you can still "feel" (and hear) most impacts. There's no pain, but there's also no place for doubt when you get hit, it's very obvious something impacted your rig.
I've experienced my fair share of pain, mostly from various mountain biking injuries as well as surgery and the like. The degree of pain I'm likely to encounter from an airsoft BB (short of being shot in the eye) is fairly negligible and doesn't evoke much fear anyway. Nor do I particular crave pain enough to try experiencing it unnecessarily.
