Not shure what category this should be in, but oh well.

Anyways Where do you think paintball will be in ten years? Paintball originally was a few people(One of which is Charles Gaines if you know him) running around a field with cattle markers playing capture the flag. It then evolved into a Woodsball war with stock class markers, and eventually into a pump-only game and blah blah blah......

Anyways It eventually became the "War" Between Woodsball And Speedball with some of the old-schoolers using Stock class and or pump only games

Where do you think it will be in ten years? All woods? All speed? Or will paintball just completely split into two different games? OR It could Paintball be just as popular and accepted as Baseball? Who knows........

It will be a glorious sport played by comrades in socialist brotherhood. And the paint will always be red.

I'd like to see more pump play. It's the only kind of paintball I'm remotely interested in at the moment.

The elitist god-gun pigs shall be sent to work camps. Everyone shall play with the same markers and same amount of paint. The standard uniform shall be black pajamas with sandals. You will not be able to buy fire superiority. It shall be state sponsored. Smart Parts executives shall be executed for crimes against the people. It shall truly be a sport of the people.

It will progress into a popular sport(speedball tournaments). There will always be scenario and woodsball fields. Amatures will always get together for private games. It will progress just like the BMX and skateboarding(X Games). Snowboarding is in the olympics. Poker is even on ESPN. The more popularity this sport gets. The more media coverage it will receive. Long live the revolution of paintball!
