What is Paintball

Paintball is a competitive team shooting sport in which players eliminate opponents from play by coloring them with spherical dye-filled gelatin capsules (“paintballs”) that break upon impact. Paintballs are usually shot using a low-energy air weapon called a paintball marker.

Because of the speed of impact (300 km per second maximum, 328 for international competitions) the capsule breaks as soon as it enters contact with the objective, releasing its content on the opponent’s suit. After being colored by a “paintball”, the player is eliminated from the game and to join again he needs to wait a certain time or for the next match to start.

This game is regularly played at a competitive level, in tournaments and championships all over the world.

The gear

Mask

It’s one of the few fundamental gear the user needs to wear.
The mask is mandatory when someone is playing paintball, as it protects the face and most importantly the eyes from the incoming paintballs. The masks are created specially for the game and can be of different colors and shapes.

Marker

The marker is another fundamental gear to play Paintball. It basically is an air “rifle” that can shoot a high velocity paintball at its target.
New players are meant to use markers that are completely mechanical but veteran players tend to use electro markers.

Protections

A Paintball player usually wears a special suit, designed to play this sport in a safe and comfortable way. The jersey is used to identify the team and the single player. They are made of syntethic material with protection and reinforcements in specific places.
