Paintballing is a fun sport isn't it?

But why is it so expensive. Yes paintballing is very expensive there are a lot of ways to change this way. Many people think that buying an expensive gun is always better but that is not true. You may always go out to stores or go on craigslist.com and find people that are selling guns for cheaper or lower prices. Not all guns have to be expensive to be good. For example the Smart parts ion is a really really really nice gun and is realy reliable yes its not a Dye DM9 but still don't you think it would be nice to just enjoy the game with the family. One thing that i really really hate about paintballing is buying the paint its really expensive and you have to use it right away. People think that paintballs will last forever that is not true you really need to use it right away or i mean at least in 1 month. They will start to get dimples and in which causes "chops" this is what they call you ball braking in the barrel and having to squeegee it out. Yes paintballs are expensive why cant they lower the price? don't you think more people would paintball if it wasn't so expensive. a lot of people think paintball is a very nerdy sport i really don't think so honestly. It is good training and takes just as much training as any other sport. It really does you have to do wind sprints and pushup to keep your body in good shape. you have to lift weights so your body isn't warned out at the end of one round. Paintballing is an all age game so anybody can enjoy it if they don't mind a couple of bruises. Also not every-time you get bruises just use a pillow haha just kidding. You probably could use a pillow though but it is most likely not a good idea. Really though paintballing has a lot of good things for it. It gets your hand eye coordination better it makes you realize things that you never will unless you play paintball. It is an exhilarating game keeps your heart pumping so is a really good cardiovascular activity. Paintball can really help people that may want to join the army. Their are military style guns that older people may like. Even girls think wow paintballing? That sounds like a guy sport but it really isn't there are many girls out in the world that play paintball it isn't a nerdy or man sport. There is no such thing a female can even do better than the guys sometimes many people are afraid to paintball also. This is because people spread rumors about people freezing paintballs. This is not true you don't have to worry about it because if you freeze paintballs it gets them softer and more easier to break. This is because paintballs do not mix with water when you freeze them there is condensation which causes moisture and moisture is water so really you can't freeze paintballs its all Baloney
