THE SPORT OF PAINTBALL

The sport of paintball involves games in which opposing players attempt
to shoot each other with dye-filled projectiles called “paintballs”.
Paintball is a serious sport which makes rigorous demands on players’
physical and mental abilities. When played in a safe manner, it can pro-
vide a rewarding experience not available in any other sport.

There are hazards in any active sport such as paintball. Serious injuries
are rare, but do occur.

A 0.68 caliber paintball moving at high velocity adds a special dimension
of hazard to paintball sports. At a minimum, it can cause pain and a
bruise. It can break the skin and cause bleeding. If it strikes an unprotect-
ed eye, ear, or mouth it can cause blindness, deafness, or even death. If it
strikes a young child in a sensitive body area, it can cause crippling or
death. This is why proper safety gear for players, isolation of spectators
from the play area, and proper handling of paintball guns are absolutely
essential.

The importance of always following safety rules, and the risk of serious
injury, require an adult level of maturity when using paintball guns. This
is why sale of the Griffin is limited to individuals 18 years of age and
older.

The information in this manual is subject to change without notice. It
is not a commitment on the part of Air Concepts Industries, Inc. We
reserve the right to improve and change products with no obligation
to modify products previously sold.
