or paintball gun with a hopper to hold the paintballs and a tank filled with
Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide.

Players also choose pants that have extra pockets and padding, arm and kneepads and several upgrades for their guns. Scenario - Some players tend to play scenario games where there is a theme that is followed throughout the day and if a competitor gets shot, they are able to return to the game after a brief time out. |
