Paintballing is a lot of fun and it is drawing bigger numbers every week. There are hundreds of paintball game zones all of the UK - most provide some protective clothing, all you need is clothing that is comfortable, loose, and easy to wear. Some paintball businesses only provide a small array of protective clothing, if you intend joining them then you're going to need to provide quality protective clothing of your own.

Paintball has become a very popular sport in recent years. From the Outback to the UK and even across the seas in the USA, paintballers convene to shoot, kill, and take each other's flags. Which brings me to three of my favorite military topics: flags, tags (as in dog), and camouflage.

There is a massive variety of paintball guns on the market today. The cheapest gun would start at about £49 stripped down. Then you could get a starter package that includes a hopper, air tank and mask for £99 as an entry level price. Most of the time if you are playing on a walk-on rental field you will probably be using a tippmann gun as these are the work horse guns of paintball guns. They can take a lot of abuse and are a standard within the game.
