Paintballs are edible made from oil based food colouring and geletine.

Paintball has been established in the UK for approximately 20 years.
It originated in the United States (or course), and there are many varied theories as to how, where, and why.

The “Genesis” theory most widely accepted in paintball circles is that forestry workers developed a paint-splatting device to mark trees for felling, then cowboys in the Western states caught on and used the markers on livestock – before finally turning them on one another – with predictable results.

The cowboys had inadvertently given birth to what would become a worldwide phenomenon, and a brand new extreme sport.
Millions of people around the world now play paintball on a regular basis, there are even professional paintball players who make their living playing paintball at an international level.

For most people however, it remains a fun day-out, something they do once or twice a year – whenever they feel the need for an adrenaline boost.

At its essence, paintball is a competitive game played like any other competitive game, to win. It is like a more challenging, high-stakes version of tag, hide-and-seek, or capture the flag.

Because you shoot at other people (and get shot at!), paintball requires specific equipment (goggles, a gun/marker, pressurised gas, and paintballs). Beyond that, paintball is hard to describe. It can be played indoors or out, with as few as two people or as many as 500.

A game can last 5 minutes or 24 hours. It's objective might be to take something, bring something, find something, or to simply be the last person standing.

Depending on the field you play, tactics will be vary as well -- from being quiet and sneaky and picking your shots carefully, to being loud, fast, and shooting constantly.
A paintball game can be different every time, but there's one thing that stays the same: it's an adrenaline rush.
