There is a very common phrase among hunters and beyond which says that one do not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. Hunting is a widespread activity, but also very controversial, the reasons which determine people to hunt being difficult to express. The public opinion of hunting is various and many people identify it as violent, destructive and immoral. They believe hunting is against wildlife conservation because it reduces the number of specimens in many species and violates the animals rights. Hunting opponents bring many arguments even against hunting as a sport with respect for life, using non-lethal weapons such as paintball guns and special Ammo. They believe it is dangerous for both hunters and non-hunters as well, while promoting violence and having a negative influence on certain social categories, such as children. Whether hunting is ethical activity or not, or rather hunting with p aintball guns is safe and mainly, whether people are responsible enough to hunt without putting in jeopardy their society and nature, these are open questions still awaiting an objective answer.
Anyway, the hunting enthusiasts remain firmly into place and sustain their cause with strong and rational arguments. Most of them are hunting to relax and break out the everyday routine. Interaction with nature gives them a sense of freedom and the satisfaction of conquering the wilderness. The need to hunt lies very deep into human nature; it is an instinct which has to be practiced in order to be controlled whether we talk about hunting as a recreational activity, social and spiritual experience, self-discovery exercise or just ancestral habit. If you ask most of the hunters, they will tell you they really love animals and they hunt to support conservation of wilderness and to keep it from overpopulating. Considering the strict hunting laws and the narrow hunting seasons, many enthusiasts of this sport have turned their attention to paintball, a very competitive game, almost as thrilling as hunting, except no one gets killed.
Paintball is a stimulating extreme sport, often played in open fields by two teams, each of them wearing different colored arm bands. It requires special equipment, including paintball guns and it can be played by anyone, regardless age, profession or lifestyle. Paintball guns, also known as paintball markers, are the main piece of equipment and they use an expanding gas to propel paintball through the barrel. They usually have four main components: the body, hopper, gas system and barrel and player must wear a mask to protect their face. Whether this is a safe game or not depends on the velocity the paintballs reach. Different kinds of paintball guns use different Ammo due to the fact that target accuracy depends on it. They are designed to break when they hit something and to color the stricken area with different colors. There are two main types of paintball ammo: recreational and tournament, the last one being more accurate and a lso heavily used for hunting. Paintball guns are non-lethal weapons and animals do not get hurt because of the gunfire itself, but rather because of the paint ingestion. They can perceive paintballs as food, eat them and this can sometimes result in death. But overall, if paintball is being practiced in forests or open areas, and players are hunting large and non-hazardous animals, it is a safety activity for hunters and prey, a thrilling and liberating game.
