Paintball @ Richmond Paintball Club

Mar 08, 2019

On Wednesday, March 6, 2019, we went for paintball. Paintball is a shooting sport in which players eliminate opponents from play by hitting them withspherical dye-filled gelatin capsules (“paintballs”) that break upon impact. It is a very prominent activity across North America.

We met at the campus at 6:00 pm and we reached the arena in an hour since the activity was in the evening. Attendance was full, people came after their busy day of classes or work and participated in the event.

It was the first time for a lot of people, and they did not know what to expect.and they were in for a surprise, we played in two teams and had three rounds each round was unique and when the round started
people went all in and started shooting the opposite team and got shot as well and understood the game and some people got scared and sat out after the intense first round.

Second and third rounds were much more intense. The instructor was hilarious and was in the field and looking for people who are cheating and shooting them out of the game.

Overall it was a fun experience certainly not for everybody.
