Paintball is also a team game with safe combat that allows you to experience shooting at enemies in a small area. Shooting comes from a special pneumatic weapon that shoots balls of paint.

Airsoft

One addition is special tactical goggles that will protect you from getting the ball in your eyes. To complete the experience, some even wear body armor to feel like a real warrior. Well, a helmet is also necessary to protect the head, because it is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body.
Also, since the game imitates war, then from the weapon you have not only a copy of a firearm, but also different types of safe airsoft grenades, namely, an imitation of a fragmentation grenade, is needed to distract the enemy with a loud explosion. A smoke grenade is also present, allowing you to move to another position or hide from the enemy.
Paintball
The equipment is the same as in airsoft, namely military camouflage. But since the shooting is carried out from pneumatic weapons, and no longer from small plastic balls, but already from balls of paint. The defense should be stronger. You need a special paintball helmet that protects the entire circumference of your head. You also need tactical glasses that will also protect you from accidental eye contact.
Hits on vulnerable parts of the body can be very painful, and it is necessary to protect not only the head, but also the lower parts of the body, namely the groin. You need special protection that covers its entire area. Gloves are also necessary, because an accidental hit in the fingers will not be so painful, and gloves will soften the blow.
