Paintball guns FAQs
What is scenario paintball?
Scenario paintball can be classified as a genre of paintball games where large groups of people or teams gather to re-enact or compete in battles that happened once upon a time. These games can re-enact battles from famous wars such as World War I, World War II, the Revolutionary War or others. Likewise, they could just as easily re-enact war scenes captured on film. The Lord of the Rings movies and Braveheart are two that could be re-enacted.
Scenario paintball is not something that people come together and decide to do one morning and then play later that afternoon. These games require a lot of planning and a lot of people. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete a scenario paintball activity.
Does it hurt to get struck by a paintball?
Well, yes. But if you are worried about getting hurt, perhaps paintball is not the game for you. Even though it does hurt, that does not mean that it hurts a lot. Usually when you are hit by a paintball, it feels kind of like somebody snapping a rubber band on your arm or leg. It stings for a second, but there is hardly any kind of lasting effect.
For most casual players, it is best that you all agree to keep your guns firing at less than 280 feet per second in order to avoid injuries. Also, do not shoot somebody from closer than 20 feet. This could cause some serious welts or bruises.
How can I tell if my paintballs are too old?
Just like many other things, if a paintball gets too old, it is less effective to play with. There are a couple of ways that you can try to tell if the paintball you are playing with is getting too old. One way is to smell it and smell a new paintball. If it smells a little different, there is a good chance it is getting old. Likewise, if you can look at it and see that it has dimples or is not circular like it should be, that is another sign that it may be getting to be too old to be effective.
