The bunkers and other field paraphernalia came in quite handy for that duck and cover approach, and although we won that first game, the enemy captured the flag the second time around. We decided to leave it tied, just so bitter hatred wouldn't be passed onto the next generation. Besides, it was equally entertaining to just watch other teams 'play' out there. So, here's some preparatory material on Paintball. A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with colored liquid inside it.
Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or bath oil beads.
It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water. A player who is marked is eliminated from the game. Some use small twelve gram CO2 powerlets as their power source, each powerlet being good for 15 to 30 shots. Most paintball guns shoot a 68-caliber paint pellet. The pellet is a thin plastic shell filled with a water-soluble paint.
