How many players are there in each paintball team?
Almost any color you want. Just remember that there are two colors to think about when looking at paintballs: shell, and fill. The shell color is the color on the outside. These range from one color to two colors, to star patterns. the fill color is the color it splatters. These range from the common oranges and yellows to white,blue and purple. Paintballs are not allowed to have red or pink fill or a black shell.
The first paintball pistol was invented in 1970 as a tool for marking cattle and trees for excavation. The beginnings of the paintball games played today occurred in the early 1980s.
For additional reading on the origin of the sport, feel free to google Bob Gurnsey (R.I.P.) and his
National Survival Games company.
Do all paintball hoppers fit on every gun?
The majority of hoppers have a standard neck, and most feednecks (where they attach) are adjustable. The only large difference in sizing are the Tippmann A5 hoppers, which are many inches across, to feed the cyclone feed, and .50 hoppers, which cannot fit standard paintballs.

What are the pros and cons of having a shorter or longer paintball barrel?
The ideal lenght is between 10 and 14 inches, however, longer and shorter barrels do have advantages. Barrel Porting, diameter and material will be disregarded for the sake of this explanation. 10-14 is the tested ideal lengh, with enough time to accelerate to 300 fps, but short enough not to waste air. A short (1 inch to 8 inch) barrel will lack the time needed to gain speed before exiting the barrel, and may fire nearly 30-70 FPS lower and decreasing accuracy. However If you play on an inside close course, with buildings, a short barrel will allow you to maneuver better. A long (16-21 inch) barrel will decrease velocity, will be cumbersome, and will be less accurate while moving. If the long barrel is supported by a post or bipod, it will be more accurate then medium lenght barrels
How much will it cost to fill up a CO2 tank at a store?

The best 20 inch paintball barrel?
The optimal size for paintball barrels is roughly 10-14 inches. Anything less tends to release the ball before it has a chance to accelerate. Anything more can use up too much gas, cause inaccuracy if not held completely still. A good "sniper" could use a 16-18 inch barrel, but ONLY if it is held still, with a bi-pod, in the prone position. Trying to run around with a long barrel (16-21 inches) is not only difficult to maneuver, but is actually less accurate when moving, or standing and shooting.
What is the diameter of a paintball?
Better control of the bore of your barrel can help accuracy and consistency. You will also make your marker more efficient and be able to get more shots out of the same size tank. Typically you find a barrel size based on the size of the paint you shoot most often. Barrel kits come with multiple sizes to allow you to change the size of the bore on a case by case basis.
Is 2 acres enough to create a paintball field?
YES! my piece of land is about an acre and there is a house on it.
Generally speaking yes, but a piece of land may not be big enough even if its 10 acres or it may be big enough if only 15 feet by 35 feet! It all depends on the ZONING of the land. SFR, or Single Family Residence zones can be high density or low density. The higher the density, the more units can be stuffed onto a certain square footage.
Ive seen 40 acre parcels that cant be built on because the zone required 120 acres.

How many fps does a mr1 paintball gun shoot?
All paintball guns hurt the same if they're shooting at the required 300 fps. Which amounts to the equivalent of being popped with a rubber band at about 1-15 feet. Anything closer than this will feel more like a pinch with pliers until it subsides to a throb, and anything past 20 or so feet will hardly even sting. (keep in mind I've been playing for 6 years now so my view on this may be a little distorted.)
How do you refill a compressed air paintball tank?
To refill a paintball tank, you must first go to a paintball field or store with a paintball air compressor. You can't refill them with just any home depot compressor, it takes serious pressure to fill these tanks. Find the fill station with the same pressure as your tank (3000, 4500 or 5000 psi) and hook up the fill hose to the fill nipple on the side of the tank while it is attached to your gun. Then press the lever or button in until the gauge on your tank or on the filler is at the correct pressure and release. Then unhook the fill hose.

How come my invert mini paintball gun wont shoot far?
Their is only one way to make a paintball marker shoot further. That is to increase the velocity to make the paintball travel faster, thus making go further. This however is prohibited by tournaments and fields. The maximum allowed velocity is between 300 and 275 feet per second. The only other way which only applies to Tippmann owners is the flatline barrel. This barrel puts backspin on the ball making it go a considerable distance further. The barrel is though inaccurate at longer distance. Contradictory to what most say a longer barrel won't make the ball go any further. You only need around a 12 inch barrel to provide adequate accuracy.And they hurt somewhat.
