WHAT IS PAINTBALL???
Paintball is a game in which players eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with pellets containing a paint like substance (referred to as a "paintball") usually shot from a carbon dioxide or compressed-gas powered paintball marker (we do not refer to these as "guns" because "guns" shoot bullets where as paintball markers shoot paint).
Paintball draws a wide array of people, and the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association estimates that over 5.4 million people played the game in the United States in 2007, with over 1.5 million playing at least 15 times that year. Insurance statistics show that paintball is one of the safest sports, with fewer injuries per exposure than sports like football, soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, and bowling.
Games can be also played either indoors or outdoors and take various forms, of which some of the most popular are woodsball, scenario, X-Ball and speedball. 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.
A game of paintball usually involves two opposing teams seeking to eliminate all of the other team's players or to complete some other objective, such as retrieving a flag, eliminating a specific player, or other paintball variations. Depending on the style of paintball played, a paintball game can last from seconds to days.
Paintball Equipment:
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: Necessary for players' protection.
- Complete paintball marker: Marker also require some sort of loader/hopper and propellant to work (CO2 or compressed air).
- 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 and thousands 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.
The most common gas propellant is CO2 and typically comes in the three sizes of 9 oz, 12 oz and the 20 oz. The bigger 20 oz tanks can fire 500 to 1500 shots depending on the efficiency of the marker. Due to its low cost production, the CO2 propellant is of lower quality compared to compressed air. CO2 also sometimes malfunctions when the outside temperature goes lower than 40 degrees fahrenheit while compressed air can withstand much more temperature change.
