Blackjack - Paintball Games
Blackjack is an interesting paintball game because it involves a limited supply of paint for each person. In this modern age of paintball, we have marker from Bob Long and PMI capable at firing up to 35 paintballs per second. The marker technology has become so great today, that we are now able to fire paintballs faster, and more accurately, which is a positive. While improvements in technology are generally a positive thing for paintball, it also means that there is more pressure from players to upgrade their gear just to keep pace with their peers. That means buying more expansive paintguns, and using a lot of paint on the field just to survive out there. Financially challenged players sometimes get left behind and struggle on fields where paint is firing out of markers like it grows on trees.
Balckjack is a great paintball game that forces players to be economical with their shots, and to try to make each shot count. In the game of blackjack, each player is allowed only 21 paintballs, and they must leave the game when they have run out of ammo. The game is a throwback to the early years of the game, where shooting speed was limited, and players had to make each shot count. Sometimes, the romance of the game is lost, where a player can get around his limitations in skill by firing hundreds of paintballs around just to keep the enemy off. While these types of games are often exciting, some players do not have the budget to keep up with this style of play. Paint is expensive, and markers that fire at this rate are expensive too. The game of blackjack is romantic because it really puts everyone on the same playing fields, and where the best team almost always wins. And blackjack is an economical game, as you will not have to burn a hole in your paintball budget buying paint.
The Game Rules/Procedures. The objective of the game of blackjack is the same as charge of the light brigade where a team flag carrier must bring the flag across the field and hang it in the opposition's flag station. The game begins with two even teams, two flag stations, and is usually 30 minutes in duration. The unique aspect of blackjack is that each player is only allowed 21 paintballs. Players are not allowed to share paintballs. Players who run on empty are out of the game, and must leave the game immediately. All general rules apply, where a hit player must leave the field. The objective of blackjack is to capture the opposing team's flag and return it to the home base. Sometimes, the objective of the game is similar to the charge of the light brigade, where the objective is to bring your own flag across the field, and hang it at the opposing team's flag station. Blackjack is one of a number of fun paintball games to play.
Other fun paintball games to play include bunny hunt. Bunny hunt is a game where one player the bunny, completes against all the other players on the field who are trying to eliminate him. The gunny game usually last 20 minutes, and if the bunny survives the time, he is declared the winner. To give the bunny some type of chance to survive, his is given a couple of options. In option 1, he's giving an unlimited supply of paint, while the hunters are restricted to 20 paintballs. Like the game of blackjack, players may not share paintballs. In option 2, the bunny is given a semi-automatic paintball gun, and a shield that he can use to block himself from incoming paintball fire.
