Paintball Bunkers

Considered one of the sport’s most important accessories, paintball bunkers present artificially created obstacles that increase the level of difficulty a game incorporates. Depending on the kind of activity you are involved in, there will be different kinds of paintball field bunkers put into use. For example, for those who will participate in the game of bush ball, the designs for paintball bunker use specify that only items that would normally be found in nature may be used to create a bunker. Homemade paintball bunkers crafted from logs, shrubs, debris usually found in the woods, and also camouflaged pallets are used. To make the playing field a bit more challenging, some leagues have begun the erection of shelters, such as small huts, that act as paintball bunkers while at the same time making for great hiding spots for opponents.

For those who do not want to build paintball bunkers or who prefer to use specifically designed paintball bunkers and towers that are designed with manufacturer specs, there is a wide array of inflatable paintball bunkers to choose from. The average inflatable paintball bunker is easy to use, quick to blow up, and easy to take down again once the playing field is cleared. Similarly, cheap inflatable paintball bunkers clean off easily, rendering them useful for the next match up. What endears the use of pre-made paintball bunkers to those who would ordinarily resort to building a paintball bunker is the ease with which a playing field may be altered, simply by the shapes being used. In addition to the foregoing, home made paintball bunkers are big, usually not collapsible, and require two or even more pickups to move about. Inflatable paintball bunkers fit into a few storage crates that may be hauled around with an SUV or Minivan if available.

Like most other accessories in this extreme sport, paintball bunker designs have interesting names that stay in step with the game aficionados’ love for a paintball lingo. There is for example the Dorito, which simply refers to a bunker that has three sides and reminds of a pyramid. Naming it after the similarly shaped chip shows that those who build a paintball field, bunkers, and other items have a sense of humor - and know how to appeal to the younger set - the paintball field bunker that most commonly populates the midfield and is a coveted hiding spot from which to strike the unaware opponent is called the snake. It is interesting to note that the snake is a very low bunker, those who create plans to make paintball bunkers usually try to keep it under three feet tall, that will give a great advantage of a savvy player, but requires agility to be reached while at the same time it requires mindfulness to not only support concealment but to also ensure that the opposing team will have the same opportunity of using it.
