Woodsball
Woodsball is a common style of paintball.
Woodsball is often, but not always, played in wooded areas, hence the
name. Another characteristic of woodsball is that its playing field
generally has large boundaries, or perhaps no boundaries at all.
Woodsball has many popular variants, giving the game very flexible
variety. Players who live in an urban setting tend to have more access
to smaller indoor arenas, which typically offer Speedball instead.
Speedball
Speedball
is a type of paintball characterized by a small field filled with
bunkers. While a woodsball field may cover several acres, speedball
fields are usually less than half the size of a football field, and
located on level, treeless terrain. Bunkers on a speedball field are
man-made, and have evolved from wooden spools and crates to corrugated
sewer piping to the customized inflatable obstacles in various shapes
that are common today.

Stock

marker, restricting the technology of the markers to mechanisms
available in the early 1980s. Markers used in stock class play must use
a pump action to fire, can not hold more than 10 rounds of paint with
in the marker at one time, must be powered by 12-gram carbon dioxide
powerlets, and must hold paintballs in a linear feed tube parallel to
the barrel.
