You don’t have to be engaged in war, if you want to stick a gun at someone and pull the trigger. Just give paintballing a shot. Paintballing aficionados call the sport a great way to not only de-stress, but they say it also helps develop a mean killer instinct and is a great tool for team building and motivation. The game is simple. A group of wannabe paintballers is split into two and each group given two military uniforms of different colours and patterns and guards to save you from the whack of the paintball. Each team is assigned a role, where one is an attacker and the other has to ward off the team of attackers. The ‘battles’ if you want to call them that, are combat scenarios created in an open area, complete with places to shield your men in strategic areas. The guns look like the real deal, but instead of bullets, they shoot soluble dyes. If a shooter gets you, you are out. Goa has a few paintballing areas, which are listed below and could be worth a visit, if you have developed an itchy finger of a sudden.
