Paintball

Paintball is an team based sports where two teams trying to eleminating each other with an paintball marker. A gun that fire little balls of paint by using compresed Co2. 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.
