Slingshot paintball
History
Slingshot paintball was first played in the 1990s by a group of friends in Mountain Home, Idaho. The game was promoted by inventor and author Ron M. Smith after discovering the benefits of using slingshots instead of paintball guns. The game quickly spread throughout Idaho, Utah, and other states, and fans had their own website by 2005 and is common in aus.
Equipment
The basic gear required to play slingshot paintball consists of a slingshot, a paintball mask, and a pocket (or pouch) to carry the paintballs in. Players normally prefer to wear fingerless gloves for protection. Each player carries a designated number of paintballs, anywhere from three to fifty, depending on the game that is being played.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main disadvantage of slingshot paintball is the rate of fire of a slingshot is far less than that of a paintball gun. However, since all players are equipped with a slingshot in a normal game, the skill of the player is the determining factor. The main advantage of slingshot paintball is that the cost of a slingshot is much less than that of a paintball marker and, on average, a game of slingshot paintball requires about 10 paintballs to play, as compared to standard paintball, which often exceeds 200 or even 2000 paintballs. Another difference of using a slingshot is its ability to shoot almost silently. This enables players to eliminate opponents without revealing their location. The primary benefit of slingshot paintball is strategy.
