Paintball is not just a ball of paint.
Thinking is the hardest work; that's probably why so few do it. Henry Ford
The number of people who are fond of playing paintball is growing every year. Suffice it to say that in 2000 the number of people keen on this game was more than 7 million people. The number is pretty impressive. Among young people, pentball competes on an equal footing with sports such as skateboarding and roller skating.
Today, in almost every city, on the territory post-Soviet space there is a paintball club. And in major cities and not alone. The name of the game comes from two English words - paint and ball. It is quite logical, since the main tool of the game is gelatin balls with paint. The size of the balls - bullets are about 20mm. in diameter. A shot from a marker (the so-called pneumatic guns and pistols firing balls) is able to fly up to 40 m. Food coloring is used to make the paint, so this paint cannot harm your health. In case of contact, the paint can be quite easily wiped off with a napkin or washed off with water. Many people buy equipment and uniforms for paintball on their own. It is recommended to throw ammunition into washing machine immediately after you return home. Otherwise, over time, the paint dries out and it becomes more difficult to remove it. You don't need special washing powders, ordinary ones will do.
The game does not require great physical strength from you, but it will require sufficient attention and concentration from you, but if you play regularly for at least a month, you will be pleasantly surprised by the results of your physical development.
Movement in short dashes between shelters. Choosing the optimal position for the attack. Control of the surrounding space and instant action in case of danger. All this in a complex develops not only muscles and lungs, but also vision and the vestibular apparatus. The habit of using not only tunnel but also peripheral vision is absolutely recommended for people who spend the lion's share of their time at a computer monitor. As for shooting skills, any of us sometimes want to feel like James Bond. Experienced players can shoot both right and left handed.
If you decide to go to the paintball club for the day, ninety times out of a hundred, you won't have to take anything with you. Club organizers usually provide related services. This is water to wash and rinse clothes, and a nearby cafe to have a bite to eat. However, if you are going on vacation on a hot day, it will not be superfluous to put a bottle of water in your bag.
When playing in the heat on the sun-exposed areas, you should avoid overheating, which can lead to heat stroke. In normal weather, you can completely surrender to the game without much health risk.
In our time, weapons have become not only a subject for wars and hunting, but also as an entertainment tool. All more people they acquire air rifles for target shooting or small-scale hunting for birds or animals, sports shooting is developing with strides. But in the 21st century, another kind of entertainment with weapons has come - the game of "Paintball" (Paintball).
A little history of the creation and development of the game
Paintball - team game using a specially adapted weapon that shoots paint balls that break and spray on impact. The history of paintball begins in 1981. Initially, the weapon (marker) was used for combat training, and was effectively used in France. The gun was similar to a syringe, and the principle of operation was similar to current air rifles. Later, these rifles were used by lumberjacks, marking trees intended for felling. The Americans bought several of these rifles and, inspired by the war films, decided to fight using these rifles. Their friends joined them, and later, after a few years, almost every American tried to play this game.
Now the game of paintball is developing with great strides in Russia. There are many specialty stores where you can buy markers, paint, camouflage and overalls. A large number of clubs have been opened that organize scenarios and games.
But often the question arises about the choice of weapons for the game, especially for beginners. I want the marker to be of high quality, fast-shooting, and at the same time affordable.
So, let's look at some models of rifles designed for paintball.
The Proto Rail 2011 is one of the latest paintball markers. The developers of this model have invested in it all the qualities of previous models, and, of course, added many new features. First of all, I'm glad that Proto Rail 2011 has a high-quality system to prevent the splitting of paint balls. This is a relatively inexpensive rifle model, but it has very good characteristics. Here are the main features of this model:
Single-piece 11” Proto barrel; Inline regulator Increased Flow Hyper; Ball splitting prevention system; Working pressure 155psi; LED indicators displaying the settings of 4 tournament modes and rate of fire; Ergonomic handle Ultralite 45 Frame; Aluminum Ultralit trigger; Adjustable collet; Eye Pipe self-cleaning technology with built-in ball detectors; Bolt with metal back on threaded connections for easy access.
The board has 4 types of shooting: semi-automatic; Millennium; PSP; automatic, as well as an adjustable rate of fire.
In general, this is the latest model of paintball markers, more suitable for experienced shooters.
Sport Tech - Patriot - PA4000 TU60031
Sport Tech - Patriot - PA4000 TU60031 is a powerful gun designed for professional paintball. This model has a realistic look of a real gun. It is very easy to operate, very easy to discharge and charge. The model is equipped with a device for automatic feeding of paintball bullets. Despite the fact that the manufacturer of this model is China, it differs good quality and high performance. Even a child over the age of 8 can shoot with such a gun.
Sport Tech - Supa Splat - SS1000
The Sport Tech - Supa Splat - SS1000 is a paintball gun designed for shooting by beginners or children. Very easy to manage and clean. It can shoot both paintball balls and water. As a rule, the set includes a pistol, a target, glasses and 10 balls. Of course, this model does not compare with the previous ones, but it is quite suitable for inexperienced shooters.
Shocker Sport is one of the first rifle models and at the same time one of the most popular. This is a real legend in the development of paintball in general and in the development of weapons. By law, this model can be considered the progenitor of many new marker models. But it has significant disadvantages: this model is heavy, has a low rate of fire (which cannot be said about power), has an inefficient air system. But the accuracy of the Shocker Sport is incredibly high, which is why this model has remained in the paintball market to this day.

It's actually called paintball.
There is another variety - airsoft. This is a more serious game. Origie (copies of modern designs) are used. Instead of balls with gelatin - plastic or metal hollow balls. Pretty serious game. Both in terms of money and injury.
For example, a pistol costs about 1000 rubles, and mp5 - about 4000. And endless tuning - both in appearance and in combat characteristics

Balls with paint on a limited field and a small team - paintball. Balls with paint, but the weapon is better than a real one and not a Martian blaster and a large polygon, but a multi-tactical paintball for the people. The balls are plastic and the weapon is indistinguishable from the real airsoft. The balls are metal and the players in armor are hardball. Bandages on the heads are shot with a laser - laser tag.

The person who the ball hits and leaves a mark - from his own or from someone else's, to any point, including a weapon - is out of the game (raises the marker upside down and leaves the field). In sports paintball - until the end of the game time, in tactical - it goes to "respawn". The rules for entering the game depend on the scenario. Before entering the court, the player must wipe off all the paint from his clothes. If there is a suspicion that the enemy was hit, shout: “Judge, check!”.
If the scenario is not played on a dedicated site, when a tourist or mushroom picker appears, the game should be stopped immediately and all necessary actions should be taken to stop the game by the other participants. The message about an outsider is transmitted "by relay", the game is resumed when the outsider leaves the playing area.
Game scenarios

Invader Defender
Two teams of unequal composition are playing. One arranges a circular defense, the second is trying to capture the fortress.
Capture the Flag
The task is to capture the flag at the opponent's base and bring it to your base. Usually played with inputs. Option: capturing the "central flag": the flag is in the center of the field, the task is to bring it to the enemy's base or to your own base.
Top Gun
Every man for himself. The players are brought to the middle of the field, at the first whistle they scatter in different directions, at the second they start shooting at each other. The last survivor is "Top Gun".
partisans
One team keeps the defense in the forest (desert), the other is trying to "smoke out the partisans" from the forest.
"Release of hostages" or "Capture of prisoners"
Two teams are playing. The "hostages" selected from among the players may be held captive already at the initial moment of time or may be captured during the game.
"Ten"
The number of players, as a rule, is not more than 10, each has 10 balls, with which he must hit the maximum number of opponents.
Duel
Each player has 1 ball in a marker. At the command of the referee, two players approach the barrier (the markers are aimed downwards) and, on a signal from the referee, raise the markers and shoot.
Also, the duel can be held on paintball pistols with a magazine for 8 balls (shots). Both in open areas, rough terrain, sports paintball fields, and indoors.
"Escort"
Two teams are playing. One team one-third less in number is "Terrorists" or "Partisans". The terrorists enter the field earlier and set up ambushes. A large team must lead a player marked with a bright vest or a special bright armband (VIP person) around the playground. The task is to lead the VIP-person through all the ambushes without being hit. This scenario is suitable for large forest areas or large areas with buildings and structures.
Training and tactical paintball
Today paintball is used for additional professional training of bodyguards and services. special purpose in many countries (USA, Germany, England, Israel, etc.). Even one of the popular versions of the origin of paintball as a game includes going beyond the secrecy of the methods and ideas of the training weapons of the American army.
For the purposes of these areas of paintball, markers have been developed that imitate firearms, which differ from sports counterparts. appearance and weight, close to samples of real weapons. Multi-level structures or specially prepared areas imitate the real conditions of military operations.
Abroad, one of the first special equipment for practical paintball began to be used by the Anti-Terrorist (Eng. Counter Terror Warfare School) and anti-partisan (eng. Counter Guerilla Warfare School ) schools in America and Israel. In Russia, the first training sessions began with fighters of the Lynx Special Forces, Alfa and Vympel groups of the Central Security Service of the FSB in 1996 with the assistance of the Paintland sports club (Moscow).
