Paintball

What is it about paintball?

Paintball can be played both, individually or as a team.
The main objective for this game that I can say is, to eliminate the enemies.
Rather than playing a simple elimination game, more and more people prefer to play the
capture the flag or centre the flag game so as to increase the difficulties in the game.

Basic things needed in paintball

1. Mask (A mask is to be worn all the time, all throughout the game)

2. Gun (Without a gun, how can you make a shot then? This is thus, the main equipment needed. )

3. Hopper (It functions to reload / the paintball storage before it'll be loaded into the paintball gun)

4. Air tank (It act as a pressure, controlling the air speed of the paintballs. CO2 air tanks would be just perfect for beginners)

5. Team mates
6. A place to play

Beginning the game

1. Set boundaries (Decide on how big the field would be)

2. Mark Dead Zone (Dead zone is a zone where no shooting is allowed. Those who are considered as 'dead'

    or those who have been eliminted shall gather in this zone.

    They are to clean themselves and remove their 

    masks in this zone, and that is why, no shooting is allowed. This is to ensure their safety. 

    The Dead Zone is prefereably to be far away from the shooting area where 'war' is taking place.)

3. Time (Set the time. For how long do you want have the game ? 1 day? 1 year? You choose.)

4. Team mates (Make sure that there are equal number of players for every teams. 4 should be against 4.)

5. Hits. (This is very very very important. This is how you determine whether the person is 'dead' or

    is still in the game. A player is hit if a paintball leaves a solid, nickle-sized mark anywhere,

    on the player's body/equipment)

6. Start (The game starts when both teams are ready on their respective bases)

7. Walking off the field (When you know yourself has been hit, quickly,

    raise your gun up and shout out loud that you've been hit, so as to notify everyone. 

    Next, quickly make a run to the Dead Zone)

Till then, do enjoy the game people !
