What is paintball?

It's a sport in which a bunch of adults (loosely defined) go out in the woods or specially designed fields and relive our childhood by playing capture the flag. Only, in this game each player has a gun that fires gelatin capsules filled with a water-soluble marking dye. If you're shot and marked, you're out of the game and have to wait until the next one starts. The most common variation is two teams at opposite ends of a playing field, each with a flag hung at 'home base.' The object is to go get the other team's flag and bring it back to your base. When you encounter people on the other team, you try to tag them out before they get you. Pretty simple and lots of fun.

How can I play?

Almost all paintball 'fields' rent guns and welcome new players. Fields can be found using www.Paintball-Guns.com, yellow pages (look under 'Firearms' or 'Sports Equipment'), local newspapers, or ads in a number of the paintball magazines.

What kind of Paintball Field should I look for?

For the first few games you should play on a well organized field. Size is not the best way to judge the field. The things to watch for are the number of referees on the field for each game and the explanation of the rules. The rules of safety and specific rules for the field/game should be clearly stated by a referee before anyone steps foot on the field to play. There should also be a sufficient number of referees for the number of players, one referee can not handle a field with fifty people on it. If these conditions are not met, you should seriously consider waiting for your first day until you find a field better suited to a beginner.

What do I need to bring?

The field owner may not supply food or have facilities where food can be bought so a lunch and snacks should be brought just in case.

Bring water, lots of water.

Bring old, sturdy, dark clothes and shoes or boots with some sort of ankle support. Toilet paper to clean your mask and gun and perhaps an old towel to clean yourself off, just in case.

Do I need to have a team to play?

You don't have to have an organized team or go to an organized field in order to play. If you have some paintball guns, paintball goggles, and a few friends, you can simply get together and shoot at each other.

Most commercial fields allow walk-on games, where anybody can show up and play.

How much does it cost to play?

The average field in the United States will cost approximately $15-25+ for 1 day rental of goggles, gun and some paintballs. Extra paintballs are usually 4-10 cents each. Better guns and facemasks are usually available at an additional cost.

A beginner should plan on using 100-300 paintballs for the first few days with rental guns, depending on how comfortable you are shooting.

A day of play is usually 9:00am to 3:30 pm.

If you start playing regularly and would like to have your own equipment, you have several options open to you. Buying a used pump action gun and a new pair of goggles is a good start. You can buy a used pump for $50 to $150. You can buy an entry level semi-automatic for $100 to $300. A new pair of goggles might cost $20 to $40. Buying yourself a new pair of thermal goggles designed specifically for paintball is a must.

Paint costs about $.03 to $.06 per pellet. You may go through several hundred pellets of paint over the course of a single day, so this cost should be a long-term consideration. Depending on the type of gun you're using, the cost of CO2 should also be a long-term consideration. If you're using a 12-gram gun you can buy disposable 12-gram cartridges at your local sporting goods store for a few dollars a pack. If you're using a constant air tank, you should be able to get it refilled at your local paintball shop or field for about $3-$5, depending on its size.
