A History of Paintball
- Thread starter Tony Harrison
- Start date
I've just mentioned this in UKScenario.
What is needed is for contributors to put in more information on the UK details. Particularly anyone who remembers the legal nightmares of the orignal Scottish paintball (CO2 paintball was treated as illegal as airgun laws were used - and back in those days the Scottish police sided against CO2 falling into air law)
There are mentions in there regarding a certain ROBBO.
And another thing missing is scans of UK magazine covers.

Wouldn't that be a bit like an article the Times featuring covers from the Telegraph?
If the Times published an article on the history of news publication then they ought not to exclude the Telegraph.
They have a world magazine timeline and a gallery of first covers:

A colleague and I have just been authorised to conduct research and produce a History of paintball and it's development in the United Kingdom, which will hopefully be published in a year or twos time. Anyone who feels they have information of interest to offer is welcome to get in touch via my PM. I am planning to be at this years UKPSF conference and have been given permission carry out resarch at that event by UKPSF. Really interested in establishing where and exactly when the first game of Paintball was played in this country and if possible interview some of the players who played. Any help with this research greatly appreciated.
