Flagpull.com contacted the NPPL's Camille Baker yesterday regarding whether Pink guns are going to be banned from the NPPL as well as Orange. We have not yet recieved an answer, but stay tuned for the response.

In the mean time, what do you think?

i dont think gun colors should be banned at all

no color should be banned

I Agree that a player's marker should be any color they wish. The NPPL's rules states (or stated) that a player can not have any pink or orange in their "uniform". Pink and orange are reserved for safety markings. The resent change adds the players marker, pack and hopper in with the uniform (uniform and equipment). The changed rule will take affect 1/1/05. Personally I prefer classic black, but for some that have spent good money on anodizing and custom equipment I feel your pain.

Will ruling bodies never learn! The more rules you make the more loop holes created therefore the more rules you have to make.....etc. Paintball is simple if you are shot by a paintball and it breaks on you, you are out if not you keep playing (period). End of story done simple even a lawyer could understand.

When I started judge tourneys rules were on one sheet of paper (one sided), then a pamphlet, then a small handout, then a small book,...etc. Now you have how many pages for each ruling body, tournament, field...etc. it's enough to drive me crazy.

Concerning protective colors question. The colors orange and pink have been protected colors by the NPPL for over 5 years.

Please understand the protected colors give players a paintball color which they know will not be worn by players so that when a player shoots another player the mark will not get lost in the uniform. The original intent of the rule was to include all equipment. The rules committee just recently clarified this rule.

To answer your question the rules committee is allowing pink and orange markers to be used until the end of the 2004 season. These colored markers in the 2005 season onward will not be allowed.
