Staff Writer Paintball is a fast paced sport with a competitive and friendly aspect where players get to shoot paint at their friends. Paintball was created in the mid 60s by Charles Nelson of the Nelson Paint Company.The company came up with the rules and standards for the game. Paintball is a relatively young game. The first game was held 30 years ago in 1981. Paintball is a fast-paced all around fun sport as well as a good opportunity to get outside and get some exercise. It is also fun to bring friends out and have a good time running around playing and making memories. The things players need to play Paintball are a mask because safety is the first concern. You also need a paintball gun, gas tank, hopper and any other accessories players may want, like a jersey, pants, or even knee pads.these are all useful for different things. The gas tank powers the gun and makes it fire the hopper holds the paintballs and feeds them into the gun. The gun is what launches the Paintball forward and the mask protects the eyes and the face from injury because if users get hit with a paintball going that fast it could be blinding. Paintball is a fun sport for all people as long as players are ok with a little of pain for a whole day of fun. Players can build relationships and get a lot of good exercise. Always remember: safety is the most important. Comments are closed.
