If you are really serious about your paintball (or more accurately referred to as “woodball” or “woodsball” due to being conducted outdoors in the woods) and really want to know how to make paintball mines that will go off and splatter your opponents with whatever color paint you have chosen you might want to continue reading for some pretty simple and easy-to-follow tips about building your own paintball mines. You need to be aware that these are not meant to be shot out of paintball guns; although you will have a paintball gun with you when you are “playing” paintball/woodball.

This type of large-scale paintball game is run by emergency responders (such as the police, EMTs, military personnel and firefighters) to train them for worst-case scenario situations. It is also plated by those who simply want to get messy and have fun with those they know. The key to knowing what to do and how to make paintball mines is knowing what you need and putting things together the right way. You want your paintball mine set up in just such a way that the only thing necessary to set it off (trip it if you will) is the right amount of pressure when your opponent steps on it. These little paintball mines do not need to be very large; on the contrary, they actually need to be rather small so that they are easy to make. When you are making these paintball mines you are going to be using the same CO2 cartridges that are used in paintball guns.

The main things that you need according to a few how to make paintball mines articles are a small plastic container that resembles a pan (four to six inches is ideal), cardboard (this will form the trigger bottom and the upper chambers), glue, a small nail (part of the trigger) and CO2 cartridges (the propellant for the paint) as well as the paint. These very inexpensive items will do nicely to make your paintball mines. You will find all of these things anywhere that paintball guns are sold and also in hardware stores (the glue, nails, cardboard and container). What most people do not realize is that these little paintball mines are very simple to make, and fun to watch them working as well. You do not need anything that is very large, this will not be as effective as a smaller container will be.

 You will need to make sure that the CO2 cartridges are the type specifically made for paintball guns as the propellant of the paint. As for what type of paint you need to use in your paintball mines that all depends upon what you can afford (given the fact that paint is not exactly cheap). There are going to me many different people that will leave comments and observations following some of the how to make paintball mines articles. Those comments might help you understand the content even more; or they might not be any help at all depending upon what is said.
