How Paintball got started

1. “In the beginning” paintball guns were made in 1970
(stone age) and they were used by the DNR to mark trees
and livestock .
And what would you do if you had a paintball gun and your buddy's
back was turned; that’s right you would probably shoot him square
in the back. So that’s were the concept of paintball originated.
Paintball, so easy a caveman can do it.

2. In 1981 was the first time people got together to
play paintball using industrial paintball guns
from the Nelson Paint Company. No masks or
safety equipment were used during the first
few months.

3. Paintball started with 12 people in New Hampshire in
1981 and has become a international sport. It is estimated
that in 2006, 5 million people played paintball!

4. From the guns made in the
1990’s.
