Paintball Research Paper
Paintball was not really a sport when it started out. The forestry department and logging companies were using spray paint to mark trees, and that took way too long, so they got in touch with a company called "Nelson Paints", who had made squirt guns that used paint in the 1940's, to come up with an easier way to mark the trees. Charles Nelson started working on pelletized paint, and so he made a cast for pellets of paint with some wood.
