Paintball
The game paintball is a fast paised
and exciting game that involves many people just having a good
time. This great game is a continually growing sport that can be
played by almost any one. Paintball is a game that involves groups
of people that use guns that shoot small balls of paint at each
other. The first paintball game was played in 1981 by Bob Gurnsey,
Hayes Noel, Charles Gaines, and nine others. The first tournament
with a cash prize was held in 1983. There were also other uses for
paintball guns, in fact the first ones were used by cattle herders
to keep there cattle in line. These few small games later became a
national interest.
There are many different forms of games
that the players can take part in. Some of the most common games
are capture the flag, Elimination and team Elimination. In capture
the flag the there are two teams that start at opposite ends of the
field and the two teams try to protect there flag wile trying to
grab the opponents flag. Elimination and team Elimination is
simple. Elimination is every man for them selves, no teams no
partners. In team Elimination there are as many teams as the
players want them to be, the winners are the last teams alive.
Recently there have bean many different styles of play. Each type
of arena is called ______ball. For example if a group of players
play in the woods then they call it woodsball, and if they are
playing in a small tournament arena then it is called Speedball.
Now when they are playing woodsball it allows there to be more
players on the field and they last longer then most other games.
speedball is usually plaid indoors in a stadium or gymnasium and
may only last a few minuets. Ever scenes the early 1990’s
speedball tournaments have bean growing in popularity. The
traditional woodsball has scenes then given way to the fast paised
and extreme reflects of speedball. speedball also has another
advantage; there are large inflatable bunkers that can be moved
from field with a matter of ease. The world of paintball has grown
to the point of there even being professional teams. These teams
play mainly speedball. The teams are usually maid up of five, six,
ore seven players. There are tournaments being held all over the
United States, and scenes many of the games are played indoors
there really isn’t an off season.
Paintball
A paintball marker or paintball gun is the
primary device used in a game of paint ball to mark the opposing
player with paint. The paint balls are fired out of the gun by
using some kind of expandable gas. The two most commonly used
gasses are Co2 or Air. The gas is compressed in a metal cylinder
that screws in two the back of the gun. These guns can have a
muzzle velocity of over 300 ft/s (100 m/s). This is about the right
speed for the paint ball to brake when it hits its target. Paint
ball is fun but it can also be very dangerous. The ball may not be
going fast enufe to cause anything more then some slight bruise, if
a person is hit in the eye or any were near the temple it could
cause complete blindness or other similar injuries. Accidents such
as these have made it almost complete aleagle not to ware a paint
ball mask when playing in a commercial arena. Almost every
commercial arena has a 300ft/svalossity limit. The paint balls are
stored in a hopper. A hopper is a plastic container that can hold
any were from twenty two hundred. The barrel is also one of the
most important pats of the paintball gun. The length of the barrel
determines how accurate and far the paint ball will go. It is
important to keep the barrel as clean as possible, if there is
dried paint or dirt in the barrel then they paintball may explode
in the barrel or it might jam up in the barrel. The gun may coast a
range of prices; most of the professional players use guns that
cost up to several thousand dollars. Remember paintball can be
dangerous and like all sports accidents can happen. Make shore to
have adult supervision or referee watching at all times.
