| What is Paintball?
In less than a decade, paintball has become recognized
as one of the world's most exciting participation sports. In fact, it is the
fastest growing sport in the 90's. Paintball is played in over 35 countries by
millions of men and women of all ages and life styles. Whether homemakers or
high-school students, professional or retired, all paintball players share in
common a love for adventure and a strong competitive spirit. It is a sport in
which men and women compete equally,
and age is not dominated by youth. Size and strength are not as important as
intelligence and determination. Like a game of chess, being able to think
quickly and decisively is what makes you a star. Paintball is also a
character-building sport.
Players learn the importance of teamwork and gain self-confidence while
developing leadership abilities. But, above all,
paintball is fun! Once the adrenalin starts pumping you can't help but love the
thrill of the game!
Paintball is a team sport and is similar to many other "ball" oriented sports,
in that you have 2 or more teams striving to achieve a goal or objective. Paintball has rules, a scoring system, referees,
leagues and international tournaments. It is a
combination tag, hide and seek, cops and robbers and human chess. The sport of
Paintball is a non-contact,
action-packed, physical and mental activity and is the most fun you will ever
experience...

History of Paintball
Paintball is considered a very young sport. It came into being in 1981 when the
U.S. Forestry Service invented a dye
marking pistol for the purpose of marking trees. The Cattlemen's' Association
adopted this idea of dye marking, and
applied it to cattle as an alternative to branding. It is believed that the
first game of paintball was between cowboys who, while sitting around the
campfire one night, decided to shoot each other with the dye marking pistols.
The game has evolved considerably over the past years. The most important
changes have been in the adoption of rules
and equipment designed to make the game safe for all to play. |
Paintball Games
Paintball is a combination of childhood "tag" and "hide and seek", but it's much
more challenging and sophisticated.
Although there are many different game formats, typically a group of players
will divide into 2 teams to play "Capture
the Flag". The number of players on each team can vary from 4 or 5 to as many as
500 on a side, limited only by the
size of the playing field. Indoor arenas generally have two teams of 10 to 20
each side. The object of the game is to go
out and capture the other team's flag while protecting your own. While you are
trying to capture a flag, you also try to
remove the opposing players by "tagging" them with a paintball expelled from a
special CO2 or air-powered paint gun.
Outdoor games can last for hours, while indoor games range from 10 to 20
minutes, depending on the scenario. Between games players take a break to check their equipment, reload paintballs
and refresh themselves while
recounting the thrills of victory and the (usually funny) agonies of defeat. Win
or lose, everyone has a great time. |

Paintball Equipment
Paintballs
A paintball is
a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule containing a colored liquid. Paintballs
are very similar to large bath oil beads. The filling inside is non-toxic,
non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off
skin with mild soap and water. Paintballs come in a rainbow of colors and when a
player gets "tagged" with a paintball, the thin gelatin skin splits open and the
liquid inside leaves a bright "paint" mark. The player is then eliminated from
the game or for a specified period of time.
Paintball Guns
Paintball guns come in a variety of shapes and styles. Some are small paint
pistols, powered by little 12-gram CO2
cartridges that requiring changing after 15 to 25 shots. Other paint guns are
rifle-like, with larger air tanks and paintball
storage "boxes". They range from simple and inexpensive (under $200) to
sophisticated and expensive (up to $1000)
for the tournament or competition grade player. All are limited to their power
and range. Even at maximum elevation a
paint gun can only lob a paintball about 60 yards in the outdoor models to 60
feet for some indoor units. Paintballs won't hit hard enough to cause an injury
as long as proper safety gear is worn and procedures are followed; like in any
intensive sport.
