Yep. It's becoming more widely accepted as a sport. Right now I am actually trying to get a marker and try paintball out. My father agrees with it and wants me to get into the sport, but my mom thinks it's dangerous and unhealthy to shoot at people(even on the field in full gear), and that a paintball could go through the visor of a mask and kill somebody, which is just ridiculous. Even if that was possible, they first test the speed with a chronograph before you go on the field and tone down the power of the marker if it's too high so it doesn't hurt anyone, otherwise you get penalized. So I'm trying to convince my mom that paintball is safe.
