My swim team once played paintball years ago with single shot pistols.  Headshots didn't count as kills.  Paul, a senior on the team, pegs Coach in the ear.  While Coach is writhing in pain on the ground, Paul reloads, walks up and says, "Sorry Coach. That first one doesn't count." Then shoots him point blank in the ass.  ROTFL

It looks to me like the guns you see in the stores today are not as powerful as those pistols were.  The sport got safer when it went more mainstream.  Maybe I'm wrong.

Indoor paintball is as much sport as "hunting" next to a dang deer feeder.

If you're not going to fight in the outside in the woods, you might as well suit up for laser tag.

I have the typical Tippmann 98 Custom, absolutely stock.  It does what I want it too, spray paint everywhere.  Honestly I've had awesome games going against people with tricked out markers vs my plain old Tippy.  When I used to play back home it was strictly woodsball in a 300 yard field.  6 or so people each time on a , a thousand or 2 thousand rounds per person, couple tanks of CO2 and we'd go crazy for 5 or 6 hours.  Most fields in Colorado require you to use their balls and their air which usually just about doubles the price and halfs the playing time unless you really conserve.

Used to have a reball field too.  Indoors, little rubber balls so that you can reuse them plus free air refills.

all the proliferation to rapid fire guns has cheapened the sport. the more you spend on the gun, the faster you can shoot which gives a distinct advantage to those individuals willing ar able to spend more.

I think single shot is the only truly competitive way to play.
