History section?[edit]

This article could use a brief section on the history of paintball, if anyone has nothing to do... Psychlohexane (talk) 02:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Especially since the Woodsball article links to the nonexistent history section. :) 73.186.162.89 (talk) 21:59, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Undue significance of unlawful use[edit]

The entire section reads as if written by an airsoft-fan troll. Including the facts is ok, but let's do somethng about the intro paragraph.

Many professional law-enforcement and military groups around the world actively use airsoft to simulate combat situations in the training of their personnel. *ORLY? citation? why is it even mentioned here?* Conversely *conversely??! "Airsoft goood Paintball baaaad!"* unlawful groups and terrorist have been accused of using paintball for similar tactical training purposes. *And that is an inherent trait of paintball presentable in such a general manner?!*

It just reads like a fearmongering news article. Leaves a bad taste, and definitely not encyclopedic. Instead, I propose getting rid of the first sentence, and replacing the intro with: "In the past, unlawful groups and terrorist have been accused of using paintball for tactical training purposes in connection with the following incidents:" 82.131.194.26 (talk) 13:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ohwell I couldn't stand the thing and made the change, revert if you don't like. :) 82.131.194.26 (talk) 13:24, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
