Reflection paragraph on findings

Some of the most important facts about paintball are that paintball was created by two men that work in the woods using a paint gun. They mark there trees with the paint. One day they played a game with the guns to see who would win like a you get shot your out kind of game. It turned into a game that is loved and known all around the world today. It is a game about patience and endurance. The most suprising fact about my topic is that alot of people know about the sport they just dont want to play it because they are scared about getting hurt. I dont have any more questions about my topic. I feel like I now and understand all of my topic and understand it clearly.

Finding paragraph #1

Paintball, the true game of skill, endurance, and fun. It was all started in 1981 with two men named Charles Gains, and Bob Gurnsey.  (Q)- Do paintballs hurt more if they are frozen or not. (A)- Most people think the inside of a paintball is water. They are incorrect. It is actually a paint substance that I cannot remember right now but if you freeze a paintall it will now make a difference because paint does not freeze. Also, (Q)- How was paintball first invinited. (A)- 2 men were tree workers and they used a gun to help the process of it moving. Insted of filling the gun with nails they filled it with a plastic ball and put paint in it. It is now paintball.

Tippmann recently announced their new low-end paintball gun - the Gryphon.  While Tippmann has had a firm foothold in the beginner and woodsball market forever, they haven't been able to break into the lowest-cost market as demonstrated by the failure of their Triumph line a few years ago.  The new gun starts at $69 or comes as a package with a mask, tank and hopper for $99 and is clearly intended to compete with similar priced products from Spyder and JT/KEE.  I haven't, yet, shot a Gryphon but I'll be interested to see how it compares to the best low-priced guns.  The thing I'm most interested in learning is whether Tippmann has simplified the repair process as breaking down other Tippmanns such as 98s and A5s is still one of the most tedious processes in paintball repair.

Graph/chart/map and citation

This graph explains how far a paintball will travel at the angle you hold the paintball gun. It also explains what it does if you are higher off the ground than on the dirt firing at somone or somthing. It tells me how I need to hold the gun to get it at a angle to shoot someone that is farther away than average.

Quote, paraphrase, and citation #3

"The first paintballs were created by the Nelson Paint Company in the 1950s for forestry service use in marking trees from a distance, and were also used by cattlemen to mark cows. Two decades later, paintballs were used in a survival game between two friends in the woods of Henniker, New Hampshire, and paintball as a sport was born."

This caption is saying the very first time man came across paintball. It was first invinited in New Hampshire for two men. They then loved the game and shared it with the world.

What I want to know about my topic

The most important things to me is the questions I dont really know that I want to know. They are great for my research paper.

What I already know

Paintball is a physical, mental, and emotional sport. It requires smarts and alot of agility to be able to run from and run after the enemy team. It is a great game for all kind of people from 10-110. Personally I love the game of paintball because it help me get away from everything. I just concentrate on one thing and that is to do my best in a serious paintball tournment. I think some of the most obvious things about this sport is to run, hide, and shoot. I already know the basics of the sport like how to shoot the gun, how to load it, and espically how to know how much air you have by how fast your paintballs are shooting. The game is so great it is just to fun to let the chance of playing it go. That is most of the things I know about the great game of paintball.

The story behind my topic choice

The reason I picked paintball is because I am very fond of it. I love the sport because it is fun, exciting, and you get to be very active. It is a great game because it is very easy to learn. Some of the most best parts are when you are the last one and you are hiding in the trees and waiting for the other players to walk bye so you can shoot them and eliminate them. Your heart is beating fast and you feel like your in a all out battle in the woods, field, and even this big "map" called the pyramid. The pyramid is a field with a big wooden pyramid in the middle and you have one team in the inside and the other team is on the outside running down a road and the team that is running down the road and you have to keep the people from getting your flag inside the pyramid. Also there is a game called speed ball were there is two teams and in the field you are playing on is these barriers that you can stand behind to protect yourself. The objective of that game is to capture the flag in the middle of the playing field. Last but not least is a game called wood ball. You are in the woods you get to the other teams base and get there flag and that is how you win. As you can see that is why I really enjoy paintball and is my favorite sport.
