Heres a link if you wanna know the history of paintball.
http://www.actionpursuitgames.com/historyofpb.shtml
If you want more info its worth going to the library to look at old magazine articals on the beginnings of paintball. Some of the early paintball articles can be found here:
Sports Illustrated, Oct. 19, '81 (probably the best one)
Sports Afield, Apr. '82
Time, July 19, '82
Life, May '83
Hope this helps and good luck!

Nope, it was cow markers, but it was a bunch of lawyers and docters on an 88 acre field, and there were like 4 flags a player, and the winner never even fired a shot
