The Paintball Words Behind the Puns
Most good paintball team names hide a word from the field or the gear bag. These are the ones used above.
| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Marker | The proper name for a paintball gun. |
| Hopper | The container on top of the marker that feeds paintballs into it. |
| Bunker | Any object a player hides behind. Speedball fields use inflatable bunkers. |
| Welt | The red mark a paintball hit leaves on skin. |
| Paint check | Asking a referee to check whether a player was hit and the ball broke. |
| Bounce | A paintball that hits a player without breaking. Usually it does not count as a hit. |
| Squeegee | A tool for cleaning broken paint out of a marker’s barrel. |
| Woodsball | Paintball played outdoors in natural terrain like trees and brush. |
| Speedball | Fast paintball on a flat field with inflatable bunkers set up the same on both sides. |
| Snap shooting | Popping out of a bunker for a quick shot and ducking back in. |
| Chronograph | A device that measures how fast paintballs leave the barrel, so fields can keep markers under their speed limit. |
| Break | The first seconds of a game, when players sprint for their first bunkers. |
How to Pick a Paintball Team Name
- Keep it short enough for a referee to call out across the field.
- Check that it fits on the back of a jersey or a tournament bracket.
- Match the format: woodsball names can lean on camo and trees, speedball names on bunkers and the break.
- For birthday parties and kids’ groups, keep it clean and skip anything about pain.
- Start from a paintball word above, like welt, hopper, bunker or marker, and swap it into a movie or song title you like.
