What is PaintBall?

Paintball is a sport where players will try to eliminate their opponents by shooting paintballs (mini capsules of paint) at them. It could be referred to as a game of war, substituting real guns with paintball markers. It may seem like a sport for guys, but it is in fact enjoyed by many girls as well!
[Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/paintball]

Paintball Marker
[Source: http://kalijemdesign.net/s
chool/pballnewb/images/tippy.jpg] 
Paintball is a game of strategy, intelligence and teamwork. It is more action-packed and physically involved, with sound, sensory and visual stimulation. Be warned that you will feel the impacts of the "bullets" when you get shot at, and may even develop bruises from them.

Combat Laser Shooting

[Source: http://www.creepyvalley.je/library/activity_gallery/NM08_laser_combat_kids_07.jpg]

Have you ever wondered how it feels to be in the game(Counterstrike)? If you do, you are bound to enjoy Combat Laser Shooting, which is a “counter strike game player” in life mode!

         Counter Strike ------> Combat Laser Shooting

-The guns are powered by

*infra-red technologies;

*sound stimulated;

*Light sensors

making the whole activity much more realistic,entertaining and safe.

“The guns are also of realistic weight for realistic combat simulations. Number of rounds, number of magazines and number of lives are all electronically controlled, so when someone is shot enough times and is tagged out (runs out of lives), the weapon will be deactivated and the player cannot go around shooting anyone else.” 

[Source: http://www.lasertagsingapore.com/paintball-lasertag-laserquest.htm]

The best thing about Combat Laser Shooting is that it can be played both day and night, outdoors or indoors, and it is a fun activity that accommodates to both the young and old,hence it is a suitable game for families
