I know that was one of my top questions when visiting my first paintball park. “It’s legit, right?” It can be very intimidating thinking about flying paintballs going 90 MPS (Meters Per Second), but rest assured millions of people play and get hit by them so there’s nothing to worry about!

Plus you're wearing protective equipment and you can definitely armor up so those flying balls don’t hurt so bad. Also, your adrenaline is pumping and that is a scientific pain reliever. Don't believe me, check the hyperlinks for facts. (What Causes an Adrenaline Rush? The Impact of Epinephrine and Certain Situations (webmd.com))(How Adrenaline and Endorphins Can Delay the Pain You Feel After a Car Accident: Jason Ablett, DC: Chiropractor (pinnaclehealthchiro.com))

So what I’m trying to say is get out there and play!! Don’t let it intimidate you! Just send it!

Here are some fun Facts: The traveling time/distance of paintball leaving a paintball marker is approximately 90 MPS (300 FPS(Feet Per Second)). Most paintball fields restrict the speed to 280 FPS, and small indoor fields may further restrict it down to 250FPS (Paintball marker - Wikipedia)

Why are there restrictions?

The purpose of these restrictions is to protect you, the player, from any kind of accident that may occur while on the field. Accidents may occur if the rules and regulations of the field are not being followed. These rules can be found by each field ref or in their pro shop.
