The easiest way to help the games reputation is to educate people that paintball is more than "war games". I know with my grandparents, it took them a long time to accept that I play because my grandpa thinks I'm just doing it to shoot people as though we were at war. Many movies and general education of paintball encourage that stereotype even though paintball is so much more.

I agree. Everyone in my school is all for having a school team and club, except the guy who was put in charge of approving this stuff, claiming he was an expert despite his clear misunderstandings of the sport. Paintball is slowly coming back, but keyword is slowly. Too many people are concerned about stuff they shouldn't need to be. Had to spend a day explaining common myths and lies in club  >.<  its just like any other sport though. No matter what, there's gonna be people doing stupid things and bringing the sport down

true i like to see paintball go back to selling to adults over the age of 18 not under the age of 18 i think its one of the reasoning's they went wrong. paintball used be for adults and if they had kids they could bring them to play. now their a lot of younger kids playing which is a good thing but some of them younger kids are buying paintball markers just to shoot friends at houses or people walking down their streets and such. thats one thing company's could fix and it sometimes the kids parents who don't hide the paintball marker and its out in the open and they get it when parents not home shoot at things or someone with it. the other thing i think will be great seeing in the future is a trigger lock for paintball markers like trigger locks for guns. this might stop people stealing them at fields if it had one on it and if it can hold the marker together so they can take it apart just to make it a pain for them to steal.
