Are You A Junkie? Or A Juggernaut?

Paul Maitrejean
At every scenario game, one can divide the players into two basic groups: the action junkies and the juggernauts. Action junkies just run out there and throw paint, heedless of tactical orders from the team leaders. The juggernauts work as a unit, following orders, focusing on objectives, and engaging only when it benefits the team. Who do you want to be?

Whether we admit it or not, there are still indoor paintball fields that buy or rent in an old warehouse style building.

Asbestos causes a deadly form of cancer called mesothelioma, should paintballers be concerned?

Bob Long Defiant 2 Review

Andrew C. Syren
Bob Long has made a huge name for himself in paintball and being nicknamed the Godfather of Paintball, he deserves every bit of respect given to him these days. With his initial creation of the Intimidator Bob Long launched paintball into a world of speed and power. Having a small understanding of how Bob Long changed the face of paintball with the introduction of the Timmy, I can say with confidence that he has once again, changed the face of paintball for the second time. Only this time he has done so with a whisper.
