Paintball...

Posted by tomato at 9:43 PM

Paintball is a sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with liquid-filled, breakable, gelatin paintballs shot from a compressed-gas-powered "paintball marker". There are two types of marker; electronic and mechanical.

The first paintball pistol was invented in 1970 as a tool for marking cattle and trees for excavation. The beginnings of the paintball games played today occurred in the early 1980s

Paintball has a few different kinds of game play. The three most popular kinds of game play are;
1. Woodsball
2. Scenario
3. Speedball / Tournament

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.
