Paintball-War Reenactment

A popular sport in today's society is paintball. A sport in which players have guns powered by Co2 in which they shoot little balls of paint at the opposing team. Once hit by a paintball, the player is out as if he were shot by a bullet, "your dead". Is this sport one that promotes war? There are also paint bazookas and launchers that throw large amounts of paint. All of the things incorporated with paintball show evidence of war. The accuracy of shooting becomes better and better with practice and the players who play paintball could probably be accurate with an actual firearm. It may even be safe to say that players who play paintball may also be interested in joining the army so they can shoot at real people. For paintball, their are tournaments on the beach, which is similar to the invasion of Normandy. I will say that paintball is a strong reason why many join the war or want to be involved in war.
