Today there are many types of markers and gametypes. This sport had been invented by Nelson Paint Company in the 1950s for forestry service use in marking trees from a distance, and were also used by cattlemen to mark cows.

In 1976 3 friends invented the sport while walking and chatting about the thrill of hunting. So the 3 friends came up with the idea to create a game where they could stalk and hunt each other.

It was 1,5 years later when theit friend George Butler showed them a paintball marker in a agricultural catalog. It was the Nelspot 007 marker manufactured by the Nelson Paint Company.
