Paintball Gear
Niko Brain asked:
There are many cool gadgets other than markers that can make your paintball game fun. Not only fun, it can also improve your chances of winning the game by leaps and bounds. Gadgets like Paintball grenades, paintball land mines, and paintball harness are looked at in detail here.
Paintball Gadgets for War
When you are playing scenario based paintball or Woodsball, it is extremely essential that you have the right gear and gadgets to have the best time possible while doing the most damage to the opposing forces. Today the game of paintball is dominated by not just the best shooter, it is also the technologically advanced who will rule the day. Paintball accessories give you a serious advantage over your enemy. There are many cool gadgets and war accessories that can change the way you play the game of paintball.
Paintball Grenades
This one if one of the most popular paintball gadgets that has ever been devised. Based on the real life hand grenade, it can be really effective if you are trapped or bunkered down. Also if you are on the offensive you can clear bunkers and strong holds with the pull of the pin. Popular versions of the paintball grenade like the F-Bomb big boy can spray the opponent with as much as 20 ounces of paint. What’s even cooler is that the blast radius can be 20+ feet! There are also smaller and cheaper versions of paintball grenades, but I say, go big or go home.
Paintball Harness
You simply cannot do without the harness on the field. Technically defined, a harness can be worn around the waist or the body. It has small pouches or pockets that can be used to carry a wide range of accessories, such as…
-Grenades
-Ammo pods
-HPA, or CO2
-Smoke bombs
Paintball harnesses are usually meant for big scenario games, and tourney players. That doesn’t go to say your average weekend warrior can’t use one for regular woodsball. These harnesses are very durable, light and upgradeable. They also come in a variety of cool colors, such as camouflage, and digital Camo to suit everyone’s needs. I suggest every player get one, as it will come in handy in battle.
Paintball Land Mines
Your sapper will be the one who plants the paintballs around the area and keep watch. As the enemy encroaches, the mines under the dirt will spray the paint up to an area of 10 feet taking out anyone in the vicinity. Another strategy is to leave one part of your defensive line open, and place the land mines on the weak side, hopefully catching an unsuspecting enemy in the process. There are many popular versions of land mines like Trip Wire land mines, Tippmann Ordinance RLM-10X and Master Mines.
Smoke Grenade
Smoke grenades can be a great tool on the paintball field. Simply put once you pull the pin of the smoke grenade, it releases a non-toxic type of smoke that releases into the air and essentially gives you a smoke wall of cover. Use smoke grenades on high profile areas where the battle is intense or has stalemated. Smoke grenades can be bought at almost any local paintball store, or at your local field. Smoke out!
Paintball Bunkers
The paintball bunkers are the best accessories that will support you during any paintball game. These are used in speedball and can be a great way for cover and concealment. Your bunker is your hiding place where you will crouch and shoot during most games.
So use these cool gadgets and have a great time playing any sort of paintball game that you like.

Paintball – Cover Me, I Lost My Guppy!
Philip Schilling asked:
Backers, breaks and bunkers, oh my! Because of the distinct characteristics of paintball, enthusiasts across the globe have developed a very unique language that you will find only in the extreme sport of paintball. With the invention of paintball guns in the 1970’s as a tool for marking trees and livestock, this practice opened the door for gamers to create one of the most exciting, most popular of group extreme sports. Low and behold, in 1981, 12 friends got together and played the first officially recorded game of paintball on a 100-acre stretch of field. And they played without the use of any safety equipment whatsoever!
Today, the concept is the same, but the game is played quite differently with the use of advanced equipment. Tournaments are held throughout the world, with the first professional tournament held in 1983. Gaining recognition with the formation of the NPPL in 1992, the popularity of paintball has made leaps and bounds as an extreme sport with the progress of technology in the realm of paintball equipment such as guns, masks, suits, magazines, paintballs and pods. Advancements have been swiftly made in the area of paintball fields as well with the design of various props and layouts.
Once the referee yells, “Go, go, go!” to begin the game, the field is transformed into a battleground of strategy and warfare. A number of ways to play the game have been introduced, but the basic concept is to eliminate the opposing team by “killing” your enemy or capturing their flag. Avoid a direct hit from enemy forces and maneuver your way around the battlefield to victory. All you need is a marker, or paintball gun, plenty of ammunition, safety equipment to avoid serious injury, a battlefield and a good strategy. The sport of paintball can be as simple or as complex as you make it.
You don’t necessarily have to learn the jargon of paintball to play the sport. You don’t even have to purchase expensive equipment if you don’t want to. Many places offer rental equipment and although safety equipment is required, you can rent as many or as few accessories as you wish. The basic paintball gun is an air compressed or CO2 powered gun and you can upgrade with faster loaders, extra tanks, and an additional guppy (which is a pod to hold your extra ammo, by the way), depending on the rules of the game agreed upon between you and your opponent.
There are no particular special skills required to participate in the game of paintball, only a strategic mind and the bravery to be pummeled by balls sometimes sailing at you at speeds in excess of 200 mph. Ouch! That’s where that good safety equipment really comes in handy. Paintball courses can be found in many places all over the world. There is likely one in your area that caters to varying levels of play from the beginner to the expert. So, grab a fully and a guppy, hug a dorito, and Go, Go, Go!
