Paintball is somewhat like war except in war when you get shot or hit by a grenade or bullet it hurts just a little more. The strategy is really important. Many paintball games are modeled after real wars or battles.


The basic format requires you to get your team to the other end of the field, using trees or manmade barricades as cover, seize the flag from the other team's base and run it back to your own before time runs out.


All the time the other team will be shooting paint at you, and you'll be returning the favor to try and prevent them from grabbing your flag. If a member of the opposition manages to hit you with a paintball and it marks you anywhere on your person, paintgun or clothing, you're out until the next game and the other team will be awarded points for your elimination.


Points are awarded for eliminating opposing players, seizing the opposition's flag and hanging it in your own base within the allowed time, which can be anything from five to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the teams (usually 5, 7 or 10-Player). There are many variations on the original game, from walk-ons, where the size of the teams depends on how many players turn up on the day, to 24-hour scenario games that can have teams of several hundred players and are often based around a movie or historical event.


Who can play?


The only requirement to play paintball in Turkey is that players have to be over 18 years of age. This game does not discriminate between sexes, nor does it between physical characteristics. The team that manages to stay calm and to make decisions, will eventually be the winner of the battle.


What do you wear?


It would be extremely helpful for you if you wear a jumpsuit. Otherwise, wear clothes with long sleeves and legs. Remember to wear old, but durable, clothes, as you will be rolling in mud, water, or soil, while paint will be shot at you. If you get paint splattered on your clothes, do not get upset. The paint is natural dye with no chemical additives and comes off even with a damp piece of cloth.


Issues on security!!


Unlike other team games, this game bears virtually no risks of getting injured. This is mainly because there is no physical contact between players. Players wear safety goggles, or masks, and carry quality assured guns during the game. Prior to the start, guns are tested with a chronograph to ensure the paintballs do not exceed a safe speed (generally 300 fps).
