The use of markers is teaching our children that guns are ok and can be played with. I m not a paintball player-I ve never claimed to be one. What I do claim is that I am avid fan of paintball and paintball tournaments. I love to watch I love to hear the reactions of players and teams coming off adrenaline rushes after games win or loose. I do not understand where people are coming from when the quote mentioned above is used.
Paintball IS an extreme sport.
I can see where you should be a certain age to be able to play paintball due to impact of the balls. Safety factors ARE involved. The usage of guns is involved. But, a level headed person such as myself can plainly see that in the case of most to all paintball fields and activities, safety is of utmost importance and safety rules and regulations are enforced. My answer is no.
