played this game for the first time on a field of over 100
acres. The game paintball was originally named as "the national
survival game".

and paintball, and the game was simple -hit each other and win.
Since that time paintball has become popular all over the world.
It has become a globally recognized recreational activity. The
game has evolved and has become more sophisticated. Today people
