Eco Paintball / Rainforest Festival
1 June 2009 Until 30 June 2009
Held in Putrajaya and several other states in Malaysia, the eco-paintball competition is hailed as one of the world’s most exciting outdoor sports. A combination of childhood games such as ‘tag’ as well as ‘hide-and-seek’, paintball is a match which normally consists of two teams competing against each other. The shooting game uses ‘paint gun’ as the weapon whereas ‘paintball’ - a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule containing coloured liquid - is used as the bullets. | | | Venue:
