not a huge difference? what are you smoking?
that's the first I've heard of paintball being 85% private, it's not like their equipment is in a legal grey area or anything

I thought paintball was pretty much commercialized but I could be wrong, the video this thread is based on isn't at a private field either I don't think
as far as I know, most paintball is played at paintball fields where, marker owners and renters alike have to pay out the ass for paint, unless its on a monday or other slow day where it's byop
if most pball was played 85% on private fields, the industry would be in decline, as there wouldn't be enough revenue generated and fields would be closing down, so umm yeh..
