Night Paint UV Hopper
A popular new addition to the field of scenario games is night paintball. Night paintball is played in limited lighting conditions or at night. The nighttime conditions are exciting for simulating the special ops and reconnaissance missions of our military heroes. Reconnaissance is a military term for gathering data on enemy plans and enemy activities. Usually, reconnaissance is a passive gathering of information. Sometimes, the military may choose nighttime reconnaissance for the ability to move through enemy territory, unseen by the enemy. With superior technology like night vision goggles, American Military can clearly observe an enemy that can't see them back.
Much of the technology that has been employed by the military for nighttime operations has been adopted by the paintball industry for use in night paintball. Night paintball players have a number of toys available to more through enemy territory, see their targets, and trace their shots to observe an enemy elimination. Some of thee night vision toys include night vision goggles, night vision monocular, night vision scopes and sights, and glow in the dark paintballs.

All of these new night vision technologies posses their own strengths and weaknesses, but all aid the player in scanning the environment and seeing the area around them. For instance, night vision goggles allow a player a continuous illumination of the playing field, but inability to zoom in and out for objects near and far to them. With night vision monocular, players have a night scope attached to the marker at one eye to see the field, but a free eye to zoom in and out. But with night vision monocular, getting the right fit over the goggles can be difficult.
No matter what type of night vision technology you use, glow in the dark paintballs are essential for seeing the path of the paintballs that your shooting. Glow in the dark paintballs must be used together with a UV hopper for maximum effect. When used together the photo-storage materials in the paintball become excited and emit visible light when inside the UV Paintball Hopper. When inside the UV Hopper, the paintballs glow and laminate. This glow can still be see as it is fired from the paintball gun, allowing the shooter to track the shot and modify his aim as needed.
Be careful, as your opponents can track the trajectory of the shots, the same as you can. If you fire enough glow in the dark paintballs from the same location, you enemy may trace the shots back to the source and fire an elimination shot in your direction. Some astute UV Hopper and glow paintball users mix in glow balls with regular ones so as to make themselves a little more invisible.
A paintball UV Hopper utilizes ULTRA Violet Light due to the Light Emitting Diodes, or L.E. D. stored within its paintball UV Hopper shell. These Light Emitting diodes excite the paintballs to make it glow in the dark.
