Paintball is a very active sport, involving a lot of running, diving, crawling and sliding. A paintball marker is the primary piece of equipment used in the game of paintball to tag an opposing player. The majority of paintball markers have four main components: a body, a hopper, a tank, and a barrel. An expanding gas forces a paintball through the barrel at a muzzle velocity of approximately 300ft/s (91m/s). This velocity is sufficient for most paintballs to break upon impact at a distance Oh no not the real guns but a electropneumatic type. These guns can be more understood if you have a air rifle, these have air tanks instead to propel paintballs. Safety is very important so game is played with full paintball gear which can be easily purchased from any paintball store. These include Chest Protector, Knee Pads, gloves, mask etc, sometimes called “poop”, masks are safety devices that players are required to wear. These completely cover not only the eyes, but also the mouth, ears and nostrils of a person
Paintballs, also simply called “paint”, are spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye. Early paintballs were made of glass and filled with indelible oil-based paint, since they were made for marking trees and cattle, but modern paintballs should easily wash out of most clothing.
All together it can be fun playing paintballs if played under guidance and precations, like using only right and good quality paintball gear. I can see some people maybe thinking it a dangerous game, yes it is but no outdoor is completely safe. A paintball coming from paintball barrels at high speed if hit eyes can cause blindness if no mask (made for this game) was worn. Paintball markers therefore offer complete packages which is a good buy.
If you are a club owner and looking for paintball supplies, then always go for good brand paintball gear which can be little higher in price but these are of better quality, undergo multiple quality test which is important for the safety of players.
