It certainly is enjoyable to play paintball on a sunny day but playing paintball in the rain adds so much fun and challenge to the game.
People play because they love to play, and rain just adds an interesting dimension to the game. Everything is slippery and muddy; crouching, running, and stopping are all harder than they normal; visibility is lower; the rain and wind do strange things to paintball trajectories; and wearing sopping clothes just isn’t fun. In short, playing paintball in the rain makes for a challenging game. Of course, when there’s thunder or lightening, players should clear out of the paintball field!
Here are some guidlelines so you can enjoy your paintball game on a rainy day.
1. Pack your rain gear. A cheap poncho will do especially since it will get muddy and wet anyway so don’t spend too much money on your rain gear. the important thing to remember also is that garbage bags and ponchos tend to bounce of the balls so this is definitely an advantage. Remember to cover your head too so that water will not slide down your face and cause fog on your goggles.
2. Bring paper towels so you can clear your mask when it gets foggy. Don’t forget though that during the game you are not supposed to remove your mask . If you need to, then crouch behind a rock or hide behind something and slid the paper towel inside the mask and wipe it.
3.Cover anything related to paintballs – put plastic wrap over the hopper, put pods in shopping bags, etc. Moisture WILL warp paintballs, which makes them more prone to barrel breaks and ruins their trajectory.
4.Cover a ported paintball gun barrel with a plastic wrap and rubber bands, or use an unported barrel instead.
5. Bring a change of clothes because you certainly will have to change after the game.

Most people now opt to play paintball since it is an extreme sport. It involves a lot of running, body movement, agility and even mental challenges in developing strategies. All you need to start out is buy your equipment especially your protective gear and your gun.
