For the uninitiated, Paintball is a sport in which participants eliminate opponents from the game by hitting them with paintballs (spherical gelatin capsules containing mainly polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dyes) shot from a bomb. of compressed gas. “marker” or pistol. Paintball appeals to a wide range of players and insurance statistics estimate that over 10 million people regularly play what is statistically one of the safest sports around, incredibly even more than tennis.
It’s a great way to release some of that holiday energy and experience the fun and exhilaration of a game designed to play out many of those childhood fantasies. Challenge your opponents to a battle that demands both skill and stealth as you feel the thrill of moving forward to complete your mission.
To create a completely original experience, the games take place in Malta’s film studios using movie sets such as U571 and Gladiator. All games are fully supervised and controlled by paintball umpires. All participants receive detailed instructions before participating and are provided with appropriate protective clothing and a head protector, as well as paint launchers and paint pellets.
Paintball is played with a potentially limitless variety of rules and variations, all of which are specified before the game begins. The most basic of all the rules of the game is that players must try to achieve a goal without being hit with paintballs. When a player is tagged, he must raise his marker to indicate that he is out and leave the field of play. Depending on the agreed game rules, the player may return to the field and continue playing, or be removed from the game entirely.
One of the most played games states that the first player to enter the opponent’s base without being hit clinches the game for their team. Since the battlefield is usually not level, the opponents take turns defending the bases, one of which is situated on top of a small hill and the other on the bottom.
The adrenaline rises as opponents start shooting paintballs at each other, and those with more experience manage to plan traps and lure unsuspecting opponents into situations where they can be easily ambushed.
When the time factor is applied to the games, the adrenaline rush increases to the limit, since you may only have 10 minutes to run to the opposing base.
Crawling, hiding, attacking, retreating, and planning battle maneuvers with your colleagues or friends can become an extremely exciting experience.
With mild weather throughout the year, Malta is ideal for outdoor paintball games. There are no poisonous snakes or spiders in Malta, so you can crawl and crawl through the grass for as long as you like without looking for any nasty surprises.
Can you think of a better way to spend a few hours than throwing paint at your classmates? Can’t.
