Paintball is a sport

Paintball is a sport in which participants use compressed-gas (either CO2, N2 or air) powered guns to launch paintballs-marble-sized gelatin capsules containing a washable dye-at other participants. Among the most common of the many variations of the sport is a version of capture the flag, in which two teams of players attempt to seize each others' banner without being struck by a paintball. Another common variation is total elimination, in which one team wins when all members of the opposing team are eliminated by being struck by a paintball.

Speedball is faster

Speedball is much faster and competetive than its brother woodsball. It is usually played on a much smaller field roughly the size of two tennis courts. Many speedball fields use inflatable bunkers and are generally sized for teams of three to ten. Since the opposing teams are much closer together, there is a lot of movement and a lot of "bunkering", or running up to an opposing player's bunker and eliminating them from a close distance. Speedball is usually considered to be more teamwork oriented than woodsball due to the structure of the game. Also the markers are generally much faster, smaller, lighter and more expensive than woodsball markers.

The first paintball game was played in New Hampshire in 1981 by Bob Gurnsey, Hayes Noel, and Charles Gaines, who used guns (also called "markers") built to tag cattle or trees. The first tournament with a cash prize was held in 1983. The terms "paintball marker" and "paintball gun" are interchangable. However, the term marker is generally preferred due to negative connotations attached to the word "gun." Other than markers, paintball equipment includes various forms of protective gear.
