There's a new paintball site that I'm very excited about. Paintball X3 has released a new History of Paintball website that I highly encourage you to check out. I'm familiar with the general history of paintball, but the early years were before my time and much of my information has come from anecdotal sources. This new site provides a detailed history that comes from the people who were involved and fleshes out the general story that is commonly available on the web.
I'm sure that The History of Paintball took countless hours and it is evidently a labor of love. The site's primary author, John Amodea, has done a wonderful job of sharing the history of the sport in a fun and entertaining way. As an added bonus, John has been involved with the sport for almost its entire history so you can get a first-person's view of the sport's growth and development from someone who lived it.
If your not familiar with the history of paintball or you want to learn the personal stories from the people who lived them, check out this new site. It's the best new paintball site I have seen in a long time.

I have to agree! This is an awesome site with many of the lost facts on the history of this game. It also has a video with a timeline of events leading us to where we are today! Every true paintballer should at least check it out!
This is one of the most informative paintball pieces I have read. There is a ton of great information regarding the history of paintball.
This is going to be a great resource for me. I get lot of questions about paintball, mainly from co-workers that are interested but are also unsure of what to think about paintball. I have been using http://www.airsplat.com/scenariopaintball.htm as it gives a lot of really great information, but I will have to add this history of paintball site to my list of links that I give them to look at.
