History of Paintball

Paintball became popular as a sport in 1980, but was back in the 1950s when paintball was actually formed. Farmers and ranchers used paintball guns (or markers) to mark trees and cattle. As legend has it, some of the boys who had access to those guns started using them to shoot each other, and paintball was born.
Today, paintball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. Paintball players exist in over 40 countries today. And all players include teenagers and adults, men and women, and professional players and recreational players. While professional paintball is in its infancy, the number of professional paintball tournaments (such as PSP, NPPL  etc) that are hosted each year continued to increase.
