The only real dangers in paintball are when masks are not worn, and injuries associated with any sport. If you have the proper face protection on, the only way paintball is dangerous is if you slipped and fell on the field which could break bones potentially. Paintballs themselves, even at point blank range, properly chronographed guns can only break the skin and leave a welt, which should disappear in a few days, especially on younger players. Hits from regular-long engagement lenght will leave only a small red ring, or larger red area. It is a misconception that freezing paintballs will turn them into dangerous solids, this is simply not true. When paintballs are frozen, the shell becomes extremely brittle, and will break inside their gun or on you, causing less pain, as the slightly more viscus paint hits you.
The Danger of Playing Paintball Because people are shooting hard projectiles at you from a gun. Aside from the damage that can come from that, you can also run into things, strain muscles and fall.
It is not. Paintball is not dangerous. Statistically, it is one of the safest sports out there.
Out of extreme sports (Snowboarding, Skateboarding, inline skating ect...) paintball is the safest sport. Statistically tennis is more dangerous than paintball. Bowling is more dangerous than paintball to.
any .68 caliber will work, really though go to a paintball shop, anything from a store that is not paintball specific will be pretty bad paint that has been sitting there for months
Dangerous Powers
There aren't any (non military) training places for paintball. The best way to improve is to listen to older players and play as often as possible.
yes
Paintball guns are only dangerous if used improperly and if improper protection measures are used. Be sure to use a barrel plug or barrel bag/sock (sometimes called a "barrel condom") when you don't have a mask on (and in areas that that prohibit the discharge of a paintball marker) to prevent accidental discharge, and to use a mask that is specifically designed for paintball (generally they are full-face masks and the lens are ballistic rated for at least ANSI Z87). Also, don't do anything that could result in someone or something getting hurt. Paintball is perfectly safe if you take the right measures to keep it that way.
The owning and operation of a paintball marker does not require any permits.
