Paintballing is a recreational activity where players compete in teams to eliminate opponents by hitting them with small, round capsules filled with paint. These capsules are shot from paintball markers, which are similar to air guns. The game is played in various outdoor or indoor settings, often featuring obstacles and cover for strategic play. Players wear protective gear, including masks and padded clothing, to prevent injury from the paintballs. Matches can vary in format, with objectives like capturing a flag or eliminating all players on the opposing team. Paintballing is popular for its combination of strategy, teamwork, and physical activity.
