:laugh: Yeah definitely use spell check when you write it. Eleven mispelled words that I counted in your post.

Anyway, I think in the early 1900's the two dudes decided that they wanted to create a survival game. The first markers were these things for marking sheep. They were single shot handguns and fired pellets of chalk or something. (That would probably hurt. A lot.) That's all I really know and I'm not even sure it's even right but someone will probably give you link. Google it too. Lots info there. And everyone correct if I'm wrong. I don't want the PB world losing a player.

And here. (http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question715.htm)

The first guns were developed in the 1970s for use in forestry and agriculture. Foresters used the guns to mark certain trees (for research, planning trails). The guns were also used by farmers to mark cattle.

At some point, it occurred to a few foresters or farmers to shoot the guns at each other, and the game of paintball was born. But things didn't really get going until 1981, when a group of 12 weekend warriors got ahold of some forester guns and used them to play a grown-up version of "capture the flag."
