Paintball Jerseys

Paintball believe it or not, started way back in 1981. Paintball is a sport in which players compete in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by hitting them with capsules containing paint which are known as paintballs, from a gas-powered device called a paintball marker.  The game is regularly played at a sporting level with worldwide leagues, tournaments, professional teams and players.

Rules for playing paintball vary, but can include modes like capture the flag, elimination, defending or attacking a particular point or area, or capturing objects hidden in the playing area. Depending on the variant played, games can last from seconds to hours or even days in scenario play.

The paintball equipment used depends on the game type and how much money someone is willing to spend on equipment. Every player, however, is required to have three basic pieces of equipment. They are as follows.

• Paintball marker: They are also known as paintball guns. This is the primary piece of equipment which will be used to tag shoot an opposing player with paintballs.  A paintball gun will require a compressed air bottle which will be used as a propellant. Paintball markers like Spyder paintball gun come in various designs to suit your taste.
• Paintballs: Paintballs are the ammunition used in the paintball gun. Paintballs are spherical gelatin capsules containing non toxic water soluble substances and dye. Good quality paintballs are perfectly spherical and having a thick fill to guarantee breaking upon impact.
• Paintball mask and goggles:  Paintball masks are safety devices players are required to wear at all times on the field to protect from paintballs. They completely cover your eyes, mouth, ears and nostrils. A few paintball masks also feature throat guards.

Apart from this you can also opt for getting yourself paintball jerseys. They are very comfortable and offer padding to protect you from falling or close range shots by your opponents.
