Scenarios range from outdoor battlefields to indoor arenas—pick your favourite "conflict" style.
7.- Despite appearances, paintball is completely safe. Paintball bruises may occur, but full-body protection (especially masks) prevents serious injury.
8.- You can’t play paintball alone. It’s a team sport, with matches typically booked for groups of up to 40. However, joining public sessions is a great way to meet fellow players!
