What are Paintballs

A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with coloured liquid inside it. Paintballs are similar to large round vitamin capsules or bath oil beads.

The fill inside paintballs is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble and biodegradable. It rinses out of clothing and off skin with mild soap and water.

Paintballs come in a rainbow of bright colours: blue, pink, white, orange, yellow and more.

When a paintball tags a player, the thin gelatin skin splits open, and the liquid inside leaves a bright "paint" splat. A player who is marked is eliminated from the game.
