My Son's 16th Birhtday: Pizza, Friends, Paintball

Planning a party is easy: pizza, pop, chips, video games. But - an activity is the hard part. I found this review and thought I'd look into paintball for the activity.

The History of Paintball

The original paintball guns were C02 and in accurate, but they were good enough as a farmer or forester's tool to put identifying marks trees and cattle. When people started using the guns for sport their velocity was reduced and accuracy improved. This opened the way for the first, 100% gaming paintball gun, and Splatmaster was patented in 1985. Today painball guns are continually evolving to improver accuracy, speed, air efficiency, reduced weight and size. Prominent names in the game are Smartparts, Kingman Spyder, and Tippmann.

The sport of paintball has changed from a free for all played by weekend warriors to a tournament-style game. This has expanded the need for privately owned paintball equipment. Zephyrpaintball.com was founded in 2004. They meet the market demand for everything from cheap paintball supplies to tournament quality amour and guns at the lowest or matched prices, customer service for new gamers, and fast shipping.
