Paintguns range from simple to sophisticated, but what they all share in common is a limitation on their power and range. A chronograph is used to test for speed limits, and all paintguns can be adjusted to shoot under the speed limit. Safety For safety, paintball players always must wear goggles specifically designed for paintball to protect their eyes. Goggles must be worn during a game and at all times when a person is in an area where shooting is permitted, such as the target range or chronograph area. A protective facemask is mandatory nearly everywhere, and should be worn regardless.
Paintball is a very safe sport as long as safety rules are followed.
Insurance statistics have shown that paintball is safer than golf, jogging, tennis, swimming and many other sports. Referees on the field enforce safety and game rules. No physical contact is permitted in the game, and players are ejected from games or the playsite for breaking safety or playing rules. Fields have boundaries, and a player who steps outside a field's boundary is eliminated from that game. The Game Paintball is a sport played by people from all professions and lifestyles.
