Paintball is any game or sport, in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate
opponents by hitting them with pellets containing paint (referred to as a paintball) from a special gun called a paintball marker. Depending on the venue, games are played on either indoor or outdoor fields of varying size. A game field is scattered with natural or artificial terrain, which players use for strategic play.

Rules for playing paintball vary, but can include capture the flag, elimination, defending or attacking a particular point or area, or capturing objects of interest hidden in the playing area. Depending on the variant played, games can last from seconds to hours or even days in scenario play.

History

In 1976, Hayes Noel, a stock trader, Bob Gurnsey, and Charles Gaines were walking home and chatting about Gaines' recent trip to Africa and his experiences hunting buffalo. Eager to
recreate the adrenaline rush that came with the thrill of the hunt, and inspired by Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game, the two friends came up with the idea to create a game where they could stalk and hunt each other.

As national interest in the game steadily built, Bob Gurnsey formed a company, National Survival Game, and entered a contract with Nelson Paint Company to be the sole distributor of their paintball equipment. Thereafter, they licensed to franchisees in other states the right to
sell their guns, paint, and goggles. As a result of their monopoly on equipment, they turned a profit in only six months.

The first games of paintball were very different from modern paintball games; they often threw the paintballs at each other, and Nelspot pistols were the only gun available. They used 12-gram CO2 cartridges, held at most 10 rounds, and had to be tilted to roll the ball into the chamber and then recocked after each shot. Dedicated paintball masks had not yet been created, so
players wore shop glasses that left the rest of their faces exposed. The first paintballs were oil-based and thus not water soluble; "turpentine parties" were common after a day of play.
Games often lasted for hours as players stalked each other, and since each player had only a limited number of rounds, shooting was rare. It is worth noting that these slow-paced "cat and mouse" style matches have since become uncommon with modern paintball organisers, and are now much more associated with Airsoft.

Between 1981 and 1983, rival manufacturers such as PMI began to create competing products, and it was during those years that the game took off. Paintball technology gradually developed as manufacturers added a front-mounted pump in order to make recocking easier, then replaced the
12-gram cartridges with larger air tanks, commonly referred to as "constant air". These basic innovations were later followed by gravity feed hoppers and 45-degree elbows to facilitate loading from the hopper.

A year later in 1984, Skirmish Paintball Games started paintball venues across the UK. Skirmish Paintball was one of the original pioneers, bringing the sport of paintball to Britain from
America, where it originated when farmers marked trees and livestock using paintball markers.
Skirmish Paintball UK has just celebrated their 25 year anniversary providing games to the UK, and now have over 27 independent sites across the UK, and more in America and Australia.

Later, Nelson Paint Company of MI, Inc. spun off into two separate companies: Nelson Paint Company, which is still focused on paints; and Nelson Technologies, Inc., commonly referred to as Nelson Paintballs, which produces paintballs.

Paintball equipment

The paintball equipment used depends on the game type, for example: woodsball, speedball, or scenarioball, and how much money someone is willing to spend on equipment. Every player however, is required to have three basic pieces of equipment:

* Paintball marker: also known as a
paintball gun, this is the primary piece of equipment, used to tag an
opposing player with paintballs. The paintball marker must have attached
a loader or "hopper" for keeping the
marker fed with ammunition, and a compressed gas
bottle for propellant.
* Paintballs: The ammunition
used in the marker, paintballs are spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye.
* Mask or "goggles": Masks are safety devices players are required to wear at all times on the field, to protect from paintballs. They completely cover the eyes, mouth, ears and nostrils of the wearer, and some masks can also feature throat guards.

kalau pertandingan dlm hutan selalu ada 2 motif jerk... capture the flag or kill them all... kalau main biasa2 adaler senario khas dia melainkan game besar2 ada senario yang panjang e.g dday so team mana yang menang dikira pemenang termasuk best player... kalau main speedball (kat padang biasa) game mcm capture the flag kt oponent nyer base camp jerk...

nak tahu beberapa perkara....
1. boleh ke dijemput tuan punye kedai untuk bukak paintball game ni masa hari terbuka sekolah den? Boleh atau tidak? adakah boleh main game ni tempat yang dikhususkan sahaja.

2. berapa kos untuk main game ni?

sekian, terima kasih

Paintball event at Langkawi (10-13 Nov)











Single shot n Auto - around RM2000+



Single shot only - around RM600-700+

Was there whole day yesterday at dewan mahsuri. Mmg mantap penganjuran cuma sayang kurang publisiti by media mahupun local agencies. Akibatnya tak ramai pengunjung dan dikalangan pelancong langsung tak tahu ada event sebesar ini di langkawi. What a waste otherwise acara g cukup menarik dan mantap.
