Paintball is a sport where players are divided into two teams and they try to eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs which is shot from a compressed-gas-powered "marker"
Paintball draws a wide array of players, and the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association estimates that over 10 million people play annually in the United States alone. Insurance statistics show that paintball is one of the safest sports in existence, even more so than tennis.
Games can be played either indoors or outdoors and take various forms, of which some of the most popular are woodsball, scenario and speedball, also sometimes known as tourneyball under various circumstances. Rules for playing paintball vary widely, with most designed to ensure that participants enjoy the sport in a safe environment. The sport requires a significant amount of equipment and has even developed its own slang.
A game of paintball usually involves two opposing teams seeking to eliminate all of the other team's players or to complete an objective, such as retrieving a flag, eliminating a specific player, or other paintball variations. An average, non-professional game of paintball usually lasts around five minutes to half an hour. Since its inception, paintball has drawn a crowd of both casual and serious players.
There are various types of paintball games like Woodsball, Speedball, Tournament Paintball, Stock class, Reball or T-ball etc. There are specific rules for each type of game. Many people play paintball as a source of recreationa and also some who loves to face the challange.
Paintball equipment varies depending on the type of paintball game being played and the skill level of those playing. Every player, however, requires three basic pieces of equipment:
Mask: Mask is very necessary for players' protection and a goggle is also a must have.
Complete paintball marker: Markers usually also require some sort of loader/hopper and propellant to work.
Paintballs: To eliminate other players.
A full set of paintball gear may cost anywhere from under $100 to several thousand USD, depending on the equipment. Some players may invest hundreds of dollars in equipment to improve accuracy, rate of fire, weight, reliability, comfort, or aesthetics. Instead of purchasing their gear, occasional players may instead rent equipment from a paintball facility for about $10-$80 USD per day.
