本世纪60年代,美国人查理·奈尔逊(Charlie Nelson)第一个使用击发器及彩弹射向树木或牲畜,以标记应被采伐的树木或有病的牲畜。在美国另有一种“幸存者游戏”,有几个人抢一面被守护的旗帜。护旗人触到夺旗人,表示夺旗人被击,淘汰出场。1981年美国人Bob Gurnsey和CharlesGaines把彩弹与“幸运者游戏”结合起来,这就是彩弹搏击运动(又译为匹特博运动) In the 1960s, the American Charlie Nelson fired the first use of hair straighteners and paintballs on trees or livestock to mark the trees or sick animals that should be harvested. There is another “survivor game” in the United States where several people grab the banner of being guarded. Protecting the banner people touch the banner, said the people who won the banner was knocked out. In 1981, Bob Gurnsey and Charles Gaines Americans combined paintball with “Lucky Game,” which is the paintball fight (translated as Pitt Boob)
