It truly depends on what you consider Pro. Some consider Division 1 pro, as well as division 2. The other problem is that many teams have been dropping out due to economic issues. Though if it helps any. In the NPPL in 2007, there where over 100 teams in the Division 1 trounament.

Professional paintball players have no true salary. There are very few pro paintball players that don't need a second job to support themselves. They make most of their money from sponsorships and endorsements. edit: most work for there sponsor's.. and unless your ollie lang you wont make much money playing paintball.
paintball fields or on their property.
the only time you are usually paid to play paintball is if you win a tournament
There are millions of people who play paintball. Although there tends to be more male players than female.
Yes and No. There are many countries that play around the world. The USA has the most players, but Canada, Sweden, Russia, and other countries all have professional teams.
Haha, "Major League". HAHAHA, "Salary"!!! Seriously, professional paintball players are lucky to break even on all their travel, gear, and living costs. There is no money in it, which is why paintball as an industry and as a sport needs to change if the players and businessmen want it to stick around.
It is legal. Paintball guns are not considered firearms there for a felon can. There is even some USPL players that are ex felons (USPL is the professional league)
You can find paintball fields by asking players, or looking for places with tourism brochures, as paintball fields often advertise in them.

Since many paintball players are involved in the military, companies generally don't give individual discounts, but may offer them to large groups.
