Paintball was primarily invented for fun. However, as its thrill and excitement caught on, big tournaments began to be organized in it. Today, it is the third most popular game in the world.
Though there are no rules in war, paintball is only a war game, not actual war, and so, you have to observe certain basic do's and don'ts while playing it. And the first thing to do is ensure your own safety - always wear the full protective gear while playing paintball.
The protective gear you must always wear inside the field includes face mask, goggles, gloves and pads for chest, knees and elbows.
Check your gun before using it for its velocity. The rules allow a maximum velocity of 300 feet per second. A higher velocity can result in serious injury to the players and must never be used.
Guns can sometimes misfire and cause serious injury to both the gun owner and the players who are around. Always use barrel plugs as a precaution against any such mishap.
Sometimes, the visibility through the facemask becomes poor because of paint splashes, or sweat, or dust. If this happens, never try to clear the mask in the field or you would be seriously hurt if hit in the meantime. Instead, immediately inform the referee. He would escort you out of the field. After clearing your mask you can come back again.
When you are hit, you must stand with both hands up to inform everyone that you have been eliminated. Failing it, you may unexpectedly be hit again and get serious injury. If you are not sure whether you were hit or not, you should ask the referee who will confirm or deny the hit.
In paintball, you are eliminated once you are shot at and hit by a paintball. If this happens, don't try to cheat by wiping off the paint and continuing to play. This a serious form of misconduct which is never tolerated. If you are caught doing so, you would be automatically ejected from the game, with serious penalties.
Instead of hitting, sometimes an opponent may ask you to surrender if he thinks that you are not in a position to resist. If, however, you show any sort of hostile action, he will have no other option but to hit you. So if you don't intend to surrender, take any action with care.
Paintball maintains high standards of conduct on the field. Never curse or hit any other player. If caught you will be taken out of the game with serious penalties.
Rules are meant to ensure the safety of every player as well as decency and decorum on the field. By adhering to these rules, you help ensure that everyone gets only fun out of the game, neither any injury nor any hurt.
