paintball
Dye-pellet combat
Paintball is a competitive game where players shoot capsules of colored dye at opponents using air-powered guns.
Getting hit marks you out.
The sport combines elements of capture-the-flag with military simulation, played in woods or on specially designed courses: We're going paintballing this weekend.
The capsules themselves are also called paintballs.
