A game in which opposing teams use CO2 operated guns to propel a ball filled with paint at one another. When you are hit with the "paintball" you are considered "out of the game". This continues until the requiered objective is complete(usually capturing a flag or eliminating the entire opposing team).Special games of "Speedball" are often played where the players are in close proximity to each other, often using inflatable "bunkers" as thier only cover. The guns or "markers" as they are often referred to as, use CO2 or Nitro as a propellant for the shperical shaped projectile or "paintball". When fired at a high velocity, they are known to bruise or even break bare skin. This is why there is a common limit to how hard they can shoot usually around 300fps.

A Sport.
A Lifestyle.
There is nothing like it in the world. The comradery, the teamwork, the family, the energy. It's absolutely amazing. You get on the field, butterflies in your stomach, ready to shoot some people in the face. You look at your opponents who are ready to do what they do. You glance at your teammates, with fire in their eyes. This is what you live for. Nothing matters but this. Right now. With your family. Working together to achieve a goal. This is paintball.
Love it, for it is what you live for.

A version of tag however participants utilize gas powered markers to tag the opposing team with paintballs, small non-permanantpaint filled gelatin spheres. Paintball has several un-unified pro leagues and is constantly growing. This activity is not to inflict pain on people nor was it designed to relfect war or combat although paintball markers have been used for military applications, that should not be the popular image to this fast paced game. Considered a sport by some and a silly game by others, paintball can be played by anyone and includes many levels of playing ranging from completley new players to local tournaments to pro competitons and events around the world.
Paintball is what I love.

A massive turd that hits the back of the bowl with such force that it takes several flushes to break it down.
HOLY GOD! That turd is plastered against the back wall of the toilet like a paintball!
Must have been the Mus 2nd Hole.

"A dumb fucking "sport" played with "guns" that in reality are a gadget that shoots "paintballs", the eponyms of note.
This game takes on an eerie and all together too close for this author's comfort resemblance to small unit tactics that this author practised when this author was in his country's armed forces...
The players of this "game" are usually wealthy overgrown adolescents that have yet to grow up; Also, one finds the washouts and unsuitables that can't make it into their own country's armed forces...
The ones that think that this is a great game should try carrying a Rifle, a Full and HEAVY Rucksack, Tactical load bearing webbing, and a STEEL HELMET THAT WEIGHS MORE FOR EVERY SECOND YOU WEAR THE FUCKING THING!!!
The Rich and Powerful like Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings, and Princes should do this themselves, and get their family members in on the fun. It won't go on for long...Paintball! What a ridiculous excuse for reality!!!"
Someone quoted this about paintball and i would just like to let them know that paintball isn't just for "wealthy overgrown adolesents." most real players of this sport aren't even that rich! In fact, hardly any hardcore paintball player has a high income. It's just that we love this fantastic sport and we prefer to spend our money on paintball than our car, girlfriend, etc. And another thing, some of the people I play with, including myself, are/were in the military, so we know what it feels like to have all that weight on us. So you can go kiss my ass if you don't like this sport, which by the way is ranked the third most extreme sport.
