The GAME – Let us start by asking, where did the game of paintball come from? It is indeed one of the top extreme games of the world today, but how did it become so popular? Well, it doesn’t go that much far.

It all started in the year 1980, the sport hasn’t been born yet but the markers were already known for its utility. The first usage of the guns was actually for tree markings before it was brought used in a game called paintball. Men in the names of Bob Gumsey, Hayes, Noel, Charles Gaine, and Ritchie White were the firsts to actualize the idea and start the game in 1981. They played a game called “capture the flag” and it was Ritchie White who was believed to be the winner, picking all flags without even releasing a fire.

It wasn’t long from that then on that the game of paintball started to rise. It was with the bright initiative of Charles Gaine and Caleb Strong that the first outdoor field was created, year 1982 in Rochester, New York. And with that, the rest had followed. An indoor field was also made and several tournaments had been held (“DC CUP”, NPPL – National Professional Paintball League Pro-Am Tournament, etc). Truly the sport has been widely accepted and had risen in to fame for as per record today its acceptance has reached over in 60 countries and dated back in 1993 it was also recorded to be the world’s third extreme sports played.

The GUN – Now, with the game becoming even more popular, the guns were not left behind. From the humble start of these markers as they were first used for utility, they have changed in to more modified types of guns to serve the continuous rising sport. In the markets today we can share guns such as the first guns ever pump paintball guns, shock-paintball guns, semi-automatic paintball guns, and the newest models of electric paintball guns.

Indeed these guns vary from one specific to another. We may start comparing from the first ever guns used for the game- the pump paintball gun. As what I have said, these guns are the original guns used on the early games, thus these guns are the simplest of all the guns developed for paintball. A pump paintball gun is a single-shot per pump and trigger gun which is manually operated and can only hold at least 10 round of ammos in it. It is one of the uncomplicated types of guns and durable as it is during the days. Skipping through time though, we have today the electric paintball gun or the “e-gun”. This type of gun varies from the pump paintball guns greatly because this gun is automatically handled and electrically powered. Unlike the pump paintball gun also, an “e-gun” can hold more ammos than the previous. It is a much easier and technical type gun for players.

It doesn’t stop there though, as the game is still on its continuous acceptance throughout the world, makers of these guns won’t also stop in improving their equipments. Making these babies more durable and top-class for the gamers, be it in amateur or professional fields.
