2.1 What is Paintball?
Paintball is an adult version of the children's game "Capture the Flag".
It involves both the physical exertion of moving over various terrain
and the mental activity of developing strategies. The object is to
capture the opposing team's flag and bring it back to your team's home
base. While you are trying to capture the flag, you are also trying to
eliminate opposing players by tagging them with a gelatin capsule filled
with water-soluble paint expelled from a special air gun called a "paint
