You have to stalk, shoot, crawl, talk to your team, and have teamwork. The reason I play paintball is I love the game. People like Bob Long, Wyane Dollack, Benjiman Sheridan, Bud Orr and many others have made it a great sport. At first all paintball was, was a game that was played with a Nelson 007 and Splat Masters that you had to pump and that ran on 12 gram Co2. There is a gun that will fit any players playing style.
Most people start off with a lower end paintball maker like a pump or a cheap semi auto marker.
The pro's a packin heat with their Angle's, Cockers, Shockers, Mags, and other great high end markers. There are thousands of people who play paintball across the world. I really think paintball will be around along time hopefully till the end of the world. That's my view on the sport of paintball. Always wear your mask on the field, in chron areas, and if your told to.
