Paintball is a competitive sport which is full of fun and people of all ages can play it. Players play from two different teams with their paintball markers intending to eliminate the opponent team from play by hitting them with dye-filled gelatin capsules (paintball’s).

Paintball is considered to be a very intense sport, but when you compare it with other related games, it’s much safer. In fact, in the United States, its one of the safest sport with only 0.2 injuries per 100,000 exposures for paintball a year.

It was invented by Hayes Noel (a Wall Street stockbroker), Charles Gaines (a writer) and Bob Gurnsey on June 2, 1981 in the state of New Hampshire. The first game was played with 12 players competing against each other with Nel-Spot 007s pistols.

There are many rules for paintball, but the basic ones are to establish boundaries first on the area of play.  Also, mark the dead zone area & tell the main objective of the game. After getting hit, you should go for paint checks and call the nearest player to see.
