I thinck if they dont ban it
it will surely become
an over 18 sport..
the age limit now is 12 and over.. ime not being a parent
but i thinck 112 is a bit too young to be
runing round with guns and high pressure gas.

The thing as well a child as young as 12 doesnt understand the true danger of the sport if the safety rules are not obided. (Like taking their masks off)
The only reason paintball is so safe is because of the strict safety regulations and i dont blame them for being so strict.

well the safety regulations are good but
why would u want to take your mask off anny way?
that reminds me.
a woman was playing at OTE and she stood up and took
her mask off so she could brush her hair.
hahahahaha dubm bitch!

I remember two incidents that i really wanted to take my mask off, when i went paintballing at Task Force Cowbridge
No1. I got shot in the mask and the paint went through it and all in my mouth. But i know how dangerous it is to take the mask off so i spat it all back through the mask
No2. It was abselutly pi**ing down with rain. It was the last game and we had to sprint to get back to base before the game ended in about 30 secconds. my mask steamed up and i couldn't see sod all. (a person at the age of 14 younger may take it off and give it a wipe). I ended up sprinting back to my base knowing it was in the direction i was running but not if there was a obsticle in my way. (It's either the chance of loosing a eye or concusion and i know id rather choose concusion). Well i knew i was in the base when i fell down the bunker. (I asked one of my mates to guid me to the safe area.
Many young people just think the strict rules are so the marshals can spoil their fun. It's not until they mature they really understand the reson behind this.

If paintball becomes and over 18 sport, it better happen two or more years from now, as I'm 16 and would hate to have to stop playing. I think some of you may be underestimating the intelligence of kids too. The young guns leagues (12-15) do very well, I've never heard of an injury from a player removing his goggles during a game or blowing himself up at the fill station. Common sense develops very early in childhood. Give us some credit, given the option of losing an eye or having fogged up goggles, I think teens will make the same judgement as an adult, keep the mask on. I play with 4 players the same age as me, we've never taken off our gogs at an innapropriate time, me and another guy both own scuba tanks and we've never had any problem using them to fill our paintball tanks, we're not idiots.
Its Bear, and even in the US, minors do not have that right. The right belongs to the parent. That being said, while it may be legal to own and even to discharge a marker, if it were to be classified in the same category as a firearm (which should never come to be), they would be constrained by the same laws governing the discharging of the marker within a distance of a roadway, building, or unwilling persons etc. So while the constitution may protect the right to own them, it is possible, though not likely, that laws could be passed to make using them illegal.
Strangeglove, your absolutely right, and few things piss me off more than getting owned by guys 3,4,5 years younger than me. What people mean though isn't the experienced younger players, its the 12/13 year olds who want to try paintball for the first time. Until they've lived the game a little while, people don't understand how dangerous it is.
