Paintball is a team sport developed in the 1980s; it is a form of simulated combat using specialized guns that shoot dye-filled, breakable paintballs or pellets propelled by compressed air or carbon dioxide (co2). Paintball is usually competitive and based on a goal such as capture-the-flag, point defense, or elimination rounds. It is often played in specialized paintball fields.

The First Paintball Game

The How Paintball Began story goes back to the 1960s, when the Nelson Paint Company developed a gelatin-shelled sphere filled with oil-based paint. They first contracted airgun maker Crosman, then later Daisy, to make a CO2 powered air pistol to shoot this sphere.

In 1981, a group of friends developed an outdoor survivalist game where the hunter becomes the hunted. It began simply as a wager among the wall street âcity boysâ and outdoor huntsmen.
