What Is Paintball?
Paintball is simple game in explanation, but difficult in mastering. Basically two teams start in flag stations, their objective is to capture the other team's flag and return it to their starting flag station to win.During the game, players attempt to eliminate opposing team members by marking them with a paint-filled projectile which (usually) breaks on impact. This projectile, or paintball (where the game gets its name) is fired from a CO2 powered airgun, which is set at a safe velocity, so as not to injure players
Is It Safe?
Paintball is the safest sport in the world. According to insurance and medical statistics, paintball is safer than bowling.The reason for this is that players MUST wear the proper protection and MUST adjust their paintmarkers so that the paintball will not cause severe pain, upon impact.
Doesn't It Hurt When You Get Shot?
Just slightly less then a branding iron.Just kidding.
It feels like someone snapping you with a wet towel. It stings, and MAY leave a small bruise, but will not permanently injure you, as long as you are wearing the proper eye protection. Usually you don't feel any pain until long after the hit, due to the adrenaline rush you get while playing.
