Never Be to Aged for Paintball

By Gareth Jale


Paintball is a sport which people not just play for fun but also to fulfill the needs of leisure, fitness and exercise, and also to earn an income. This is not just applicable to the players and their teams. This also takes those individuals in consideration who are responsible for delivering it to other people and officials at the game arena.

The paintball guns are used in the game of paintball to aim and shoot at the opponent players. When your paintball gun or paintball guns are shot and the paintball inside it hits your opponent, you have a point and might emerge the winner. This means that you are really engaged in a gun battle but with a sort of gun that is made with reduced risk of causing damage.

People with better understanding can only play this game in a proper way. Basketball and football can be called as safe sports for kids who are less than 8 years old. But in case of paintball, the situation is entirely different. Protective gear including the ones worn on head and body must be used while playing paintball. This averts all the damages it can pose. The question is, can children handle these protective gears properly and still achieve the desired playing.

The gun itself is mostly made of metals and is very heavy to carry. So it will be proper here to posit that if you are not up to at least 15 years of age, then you are not mentally and physically sound to play a this game. There have been situations where people lose concentration while playing these games and what they get is serious consequences that might be detrimental to some of their body organs. Also in the cases where people tend to remove their carbon dioxide filled canisters, people can even lose their lives. The specifications provided on most of the paintball guns declare the product not suitable for use by children under the age of 15.

There is also no gainsaying that the issue that makes it imperative for anybody who will get into the act of playing paintball to be up to15 at least is the intricacies that are involved in the instruments used in playing the game. This is especially as it concerns the gun and the carbon dioxide canister. It has been declared illegal for anyone under the age of 10 to play this game, but still there are a lot of loopholes in this legislation. Practically this game is safe to be played only by those who are 18 or above.

With this, you can then get some who might get into the practice secretly around16 and 17. This is very bearable than giving a 10 year old child the authority to handle such thing. This can cause some heavy and irreversible damages. Many school-going kids have impaired their eyesight while playing similar games. As kids are careless for their safety, designing protective gears for them will hardly make any big difference.
