Sure, it’s the only sport where you actually get to shoot people! Targets just sit there, game may run, but people shoot back.
It sure gives you a reality check if you think you’re a badass with a gun. When some 14 year old kid has you pinned down in a trench, well, you get very realistic about firearm use. Of course, the best part is when some ‘gangsta’ kid shows up- EVERYONE wants to nail him to the wall, and he usually gets lit up pretty bad.
I prefer camo style paintball- “woodsball”, not the open field style, or “speedball”. It’s great for kids too.
