Being a paintball dye hard I have seen that know a day's newbies are fearful to start their paintball journey because lots of peoples discuses that paintball is very dangerous you may lose your eye, bla,bla, etc.

Indeed there are lots of incidents of paintball players some of them sadly lost their lives while others lost their essential organs.

But wait,

Do you know? Raman Lamba a cricket player lost his life because of cricket, seems like every sport is dangerous without having proper safety measures.

Now let us come to the paint is paintball really dangerous? A Big NO, because a most renewed research center of the United States (HUCP_US) has declared this sport is safe, why should we worry let's start your paintball journey there are lots of safety equipment available, do proper safety before entering the ground and let's enjoy.

Believe me, I have to play paintball since 2014 when

I was about 13 years old and I didn’t get any deadly injuries, however, minor injuries are the part of life, be a ma dude.

Basic paintball safety equipment

The following are the most essential safety equipment for paintball you have to carry them in order to play a secure game.

Paintball mask

The paintball mask is the backbone of paintball safety you have to carry or rent a paintball mask otherwise you may not allow entering the field.

Paintball mask will protect your whole head, believe me, a paintball mask is a lifesaver, your eyes and other essential organs will be safe during the game.

Few tips to select a paintball mask

Make sure to select an antifog paintball mask with a dual-pane thermal lens. Check out the vision of paintball mask choose a paintball mask which has at least 280-degree peripheral vision Choose a mask with scream ventilations.

Make sure to check out the built quality of the mask it should be durable. Checkout the comfortably of the mask, a mask with dual-density foam are generally more comfortable as compared to single-layer foam.

There are lots of paintball masks available in the market, just you have to do some research and purchase your desired one.

Paintball gun with standard FPS

Indeed a paintball gun is the most essential equipment for paintball but makes sure to select a paintball gun with 300FPS because this is the standard speed of paintball gun, we have to respect the rules.

Some player does modify their guns and increase the fps of guns but believe me this is a wrong thing because high fps may injure the opponents badly.

Barrel plug

Barrel plug is the most important safety equipment; we should insert our barrel whenever we are out of the field to protect the crowd.

Respect field rules

Some fields have their own rules we should respect them because they built those rules to protect use so please respect the field rules otherwise we may get in trouble.

Wear a paintball vest

A paintball vest will not only protect your internal organs but also gives you storage for some other equipment like pistols pods etc.

Your upper body parts will be safe if you have a paintball vest.

Wear clothes according to the game and weather conditions

In winter you have to wear some thick cloths in layer however in summer you can’t, so make sure to wear your clothes according to the weather conditions.

Moreover, in woodsball, we have to wear darker clothes and in speedball, we need some vibrant cloths.

Paintball shoes

Ankle injuries are the most common injuries in paintball if you want to protect yourself from them, wear a pair of paintball shoes, paintball shoes are designed to mitigate the ankle injuries, and other types of feet injuries.

Groin cup

The ball is very essential for us, so please wear a groin cup to protect them, believe me, it is very painful to get hit on private parts.

There are exalt pants available in the market, they are extremely protective.

Some Common paintball safety

Don’t climb on the trees and stones if you are not experienced, some fields have restrictions to climb on the trees and stones as well.

Don’t go outside of the field, until the game finishes.

Don’t go to the restricted areas please be careful there may be some animals

Respect referee.

Follow surrender rule.

Verdict

Paintball is not a dangerous game please do not hesitate to play, take proper safety measures you are good to go.

A city dweller must test his/her surviving skill in paintball because you have to use your IQ to compete with lots of players.

Moreover, if you are a military lover woodsball paintball is made for you please let's have a try with proper safety measure.

That’s all guys, hope you have enjoyed my post
