What is paintball?
Paintball is a sport/game that is essentially simulated combat. However, instead of real guns and bullets, they use air-powered guns and pellets that contain food coloring and gelatin which splatter against whatever they hit.

How expensive are paintball guns?
Paintball guns can vary considerably in price, depending on the specific design of the gun. A basic, bare-bones pistol can be purchased for around 100 dollars or so, but there are plenty of examples of guns that cost upwards of 1000 dollars or more.

What are paintballs made from?
Paintballs are usually made from a food-grade coloring agent and gelatin, which is encapsulated inside a thin plastic or rubber exterior. They are designed to explode on impact, creating a spattering of whatever color is inside.
