One difficulty for training solders is to try recreating the conditions of a battlefield, because you don't want people to go into shock once they hear things whizzing past their head. You also don't want to be using live ammo to get them used to that sensation. So playing paintball is one of the few ways to recreate a battlefield scenario without all the messy carnage involved. In fiction this scenario is often used for those same purposes, creating a battlefield situation without the genuine worry of a character being killed. There are many different stories this situation can create: A paintball reveal, where Unwinnable Training Simulation is finally shown as merely a training exercise. The characters go expecting to be doing a training exercise but something happens as a Training "Accident", maybe an unknown switch to live ammo. Several comedy scenarios including a recreation of battlefield chaos, a Shell-Shocked Veteran and someone falling down as though they were shot for real. Eventually someone might take it as Serious Business and start laying down traps, taking hostages or doing an Unnecessary Combat Roll. Characters deal with personal issues or live out fantasies by going up against rivals or bullies. Possibly, if the characters are usually Book Dumb, they'll prove that they actually have the brains and acumen to fight in battle. A full-episode parody (or several pastiches, spoof scenes, and references) of war movies, particularly the ones about the Vietnam War, like The Deer Hunter or Apocalypse Now. A situation where the bad guys attack and the characters lack access to their signature gear, forcing them to make do with only their wits and whatever they can scavenge from the field (including the paintball weaponry). As with many things, those who are familiar with the game will likely be frustrated by the inaccuracies done, sometimes just in the name of Rule of Cool. Among these include: Characters taking their visors off, even assuming they are full face masks or even wearing anything to begin with, which is the number one piece of safety gearnote Paintballs are nonlethal in principle, but that doesn't mean that they don't hit with a fair amount of impact - 45-90 pounds of force at 15 feet. There are reports of concussions even with a helmet, and a direct hit on your eye would blind you in that eye, and possibly even kill, if it went straight through the eye into the brain. For the reasons why, compare In Space, Everyone Can See Your Face and Helmets Are Hardly Heroic. The lack of any visible marshals or playing in public areas not properly partitioned off. Personal conduct rules are ignored, such as minimum distance between firing (no point-blank shots), viciously shooting people ten or more times in sensitive areas for comedic effect, and so on. Mistakes are more excusable when it's not a regulation game (i.e. a bunch of dudes just throwing everything together for shits and giggles). While not as widely known in fiction much of the same format can be applied to airsoft, which is the use of small plastic BB's as ammo with both gun and ammunition being generally cheaper for an avid player. In even more extreme cases, typically played for laughs entirely, lasertag may also be used for the same purpose. This is Truth in Television, as military and law enforcement use special "Simunition" rounds for training that are fired from an actual gun, while still being relatively safe to use. A number of paintball guns are designed to look, feel and have the same heft as a regular firearm. In any case, skills and tactics used in paintball (regardless of equipment including the gun and headgear) translate rather well to an actual combat engagement. |

As mentioned above, The Whiteboard totally averts this, as the author makes markers for the game. Not to mention Doc can get a little annoyed by people disregarding the rules. Mandatory equipment for his referees include duct tape and mallets, and tazers for refs of smaller stature. An arc ending shortly before Christmas 2010 featured a field that tends to bend or even disregard all the rules, including mask regulations, chronographingnote checking paintball speed, with 300 feet per second being a common upper limit, and wiping off paint spots from hits. |

MythBusters will normally break out the full face masks when paintball guns are in use, but during one segment of the "Ultimate MythBuster" episode Adam and Jamie were firing at each other with no body armor other than groin cups and face masks. Of course, the point of that challenge was to see who had the greatest pain tolerance... (Huge surprise, Jamie won.) A later episode testing whether a "Slap in the Face" can get you out of a hysterical fit and back to dealing with a stressful situation had them testing cognitive awareness using simunition rounds at a gun range. They used paintball ammo largely because they had to simulate mental fatigue and give that person a gun. |

iCarly: In "iSaved Your Life", the trio and Spencer play a game called Assassin using only blow tube guns. Carly and Freddie were "eliminated" early on, leaving behind extreme mind games between Sam and Spencer. No safety equipment is used at all, although the relatively low speed nature of blow-guns reduces the risk of injury and it was meant to be played in a home. | |

Community had an epic paintball episode where the whole campus engages in a paintball war and the last one standing gets first choice of classes the next semester. The episode spoofed tons of action movies. The next season they had a two parter, half based on westerns, half on Star Wars. The participants wore no protective gear at all (except for whatever they could scavenge). Those were surprise campus-wide games. Season 6 has another, which occurs when Paintball goes underground. It thus parodies the action Espionage genre a la Mission: Impossible. |

Spaced used goggles instead of full face masks, and a total absence of marshals. This allows some acknowledged dangerous shots to occur, mostly Tim firing at Dwayne's crotch. Several times (admittedly causing a severe injury) Mike's overzealous attitude towards paintball (he's a member of the Territorial Army and general military enthusiast) is stated to have gotten him a ban which lasted several years. Also features the obligatory War Movie Parody scene - Mike gets shot, Tim runs over to give a How Dare You Die on Me! speech, and Mike coughs up yellow paint and goes limp. Cue Big NOOOOOO! |

In one Dilbert strip, the Pointy-Haired Boss signed the team up for a paintball course as a "team building exercise", but instead of them going out to a paintballing field, he interpreted it as hunting them in the office with a paintball gun, without them being aware of it. Obviously, they didn't have on any protective gear, and in the confines of office spaces it would've been difficult to avoid "point blank" shots, both of which are major no-nos. | |

One episode of You're Under Arrest! featured a paintball match between Yoriko and some of the other Bokuto officers on one team and Chie Sagami-Ono leading the other team. Sagami-Ono won the match, but Yoriko arrested some robbers who were hiding nearby and mistook the paintballs for real bullets. Another episode featured the Bokuto officers on their day off visiting an amusement park with a paintball arena and competing against the amusement park employees, who wear monster costumes (thereby triggering Miyuki's phobia). (This latter storyline was adapted from a manga chapter; in the manga version, it was a laser tag arena instead.) | |

King of the Hill had a particularly egregious episode where a teenage bully torments Bobby on the paintball field and Hank and his buddies end up sucked into a paintball match with him. Not only does no one ever wear face masks in this episode, but the bully frequently engages in activities that would get you immediately thrown off the range (such as lining up a losing team against a fence for a "firing squad" shot) and of course, nary a marshal or range master is seen. Hank and his friends then turn the tables, shooting at point blank range themselves, bringing outside unsanctioned equipment and changing clothes on the field. | |

Total Drama had a paintball episode where the teens had to hunt each other with paintball guns. Other than the camera crew and the host, there are no marshals to keep an eye on the contestants. The contestants wear goggles but no facemasks, and otherwise wear no protective clothing at all, just their normal street clothes. It doesn't help that some of the girls are pretty much half-naked. Finally, during the event briefing, the host literally shoots a contestant point blank for comedic effect. Of course, Total Drama Island is very big on Amusing Injuries, and the hosts make no effort to hide the fact they are complete jerkasses. | |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The show first gets one with the episode "Tactical Village". Fairly realistic in that it's a training scenario for a group of cops (they're using training rounds in what looks like real guns) but nobody seems to be wearing more protection than goggles. And they get shot in the chest at a couple of feet! Appears again in "Windbreaker City", in which the cops are invited to a terrorism training exercise for federal agencies only to be looked down on by everyone else present and discover that they're assigned to be the hostages. They eventually end up rebelling and freeing themselves, only to then decide to take revenge on the condescending feds by taking over the role of the terrorists. |

The Big Bang Theory: One episode has the cast (minus Penny) walking into their complex, in full paintball uniforms, absolutely covered in blue spots, except for Sheldon, who has a noticeable orange blotch on his back protector (He kept yelling, "Get the kid in the yarmulke!" in a firefight against a Bar mitzvah party). This set up is quickly dumped by the wayside when they run into Penny on the way up, and she invites them to her Halloween party. As they were just walking up the stairs their masks were the proper kind to use, though later episodes showing them at the course with slightly smaller visors that didn't cover the chin. Another episode begins and ends with them hiding in a building on the course, apparently there are regular paintball games pitting different university teams against each other. This time it includes an Unnecessary Combat Roll and some discussion on their mortality. The fifth season premiere had the group at the paintball range again, although personal issues flared up to where they were ready to call it quits. Sheldon decided he was a poor captain and thus committed himself to death by walking out unarmed and insulting the geology department, being promptly shot over a dozen times and ending with an epic Crucified Hero Shot. To their surprise, his sacrifice inspired his team to retake the battle and win the game for the first time. They make the mistake of taking their masks off on the field several times. And normally the sci-fi style body armor is a little unnecessary, but they shot each other at point blank range with their masks off! |

The American Dad! paintball episode must've been the first of its kind to use a brush in a parody of movies about The Vietnam War. Complete with American GI and Viet Cong outfits, paintball guns that resemble AK-47's and M-16's, Sharpie pens used like knives, Steve even using a paint sprayer like a flamethrower, and golf carts used for many different things like Huey helicopters, River Patrol Boats, and POW Cages. | |

Bubblegum Crisis has a brief sequence showing the Knight Sabers doing this in their off hours, presumably for tactical training. The usual "no masks on" rule applies, though the girls are otherwise wearing clothes that'd pass muster, especially considering they fight killer robots on a nightly basis. A welt or two'd probably not even be noticed. Of course, all inaccuracies were overshadowed by Sylia winning the match with a paint landmine (those are real; just expensive). | |

The Knights of the Dinner Table special "Last Man Standing" was completely devoted to a game using paintball guns. Hardly anyone wore face protection of any kind - and every character who wore glasses got hit at least once in them. (Even many of those who did not were glasses were hit in the face, but those were "off screen".) Not to mention "firefights" with participants being hit sometimes dozens of times (how do they even know who won?), called shots to the groin, and even one character fighting while carrying an unprotected baby! | |

The Daria episode "The Daria Hunter" shows everyone in goggles but no face masks. Lampshaded in a scene where Quinn shoots Sandi because she doesn't recognize her with her goggles on; Sandi angrily points out that it's against the rules not to wear them, whereupon the Fashion Club says "Some rules are meant to be broken. Like wearing red lipstick with an orange sweater." Quinn retorts with "Besides, you [Sandi] shot at us after you were already hit, and that's against the rules, too." Also in this episode, Ms. Barch repeatedly shoots Mr. DeMartino after having taken him down, directing at him a rant really intended for her ex-husband, until Brittany intervenes. "Ms. Barch, stop! Those paintball thingies hurt!" |

The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Fridge" is set off by Nicole winning a company paintball game off-screen (every other contestant was hospitalized) and ends with the Watterson family having a free-for-all game of capture the flag. There is no supervision, people get shot at very close range or after already losing, players either take off their mask (Anais) or wearing only goggles (everyone else), and some extra equipment includes paint grenades and paint balloons dropped by trip-wire. Humorously, besides the forest course shown the poster◊ for the place claims it has one course in a junkyard and another in outer space. And are available for all kinds of parties, including stag parties (bachelor parties) and hen parties (bachelorette parties). | |

Six Feet Under has an episode where paintballing errors show up most egregiously. David and Keith go paintballing with a couple other gay guys. They don't wear protective clothing, they take their googles off and even close-range hits don't elicit any reaction from the characters. It mostly follows the Rule of Funny and aims to illustrate the difference between Keith's Hard Gay friends and David's Camp Gay friends. | |

PvP did a paintball arc in early 2008 that was very careful about getting the details right, with proper masks and realistic paintball guns and terminology and rules. The one exception was Francis using a HALO helmet instead of a regular paintball mask, though in this case the marshals at least discussed it. Up to the point where Brent got a dislocated nipple (maybe Scott Kurtz was afraid the strips weren't zany enough). Then the cast snuck onto the course at night with no marshal and did all the things they weren't supposed to do, but at least then it was justified (and they even pointed it out later). That sequence features a cameo from "Doc", who runs a paintball shop in Alaska and draws The Whiteboard, a paintball-themed Web Comic, as well as a human version of the owner of the paintball field from that comic, "Red". This may have contributed to the accuracy. Also, Kurtz's commentary during the arc indicates he'd planned to go through the arc with the usual trappings (including the blind cast member Reggie participating) until readers more familiar with the sport called him out on it. |

Drop the Dead Donkey featured one episode where Dave and Helen got together during the game and ended up having sex, convincing Helen that she was, after all a lesbian. The cast mostly behaved according to their characters - Sally had her photo taken and went back to the hotel, Damian wore a Rambo style ammunition belt and bandanna - but from what happened off-screen, George apparently had a Heroic B.S.O.D. moment - ending up pistol-whipping Gus and giving Henry a black eye, which meant he lost badly-needed money from not being in a fit state to make a TV series independently of Globelink. | |

Unfortunately, Amaar doesn't think the teams through ("everyone on this side of me on my team") and ends up unintentionally making the game Muslims versus (white) non-Muslims - which, besides the lampshaded Unfortunate Implications, means that he's saddled with a whole team who've never handled a gun in their lives, half of whom immediately shoot their own teammates by mistake. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation featured an example in the episode "Peak Performance". Commander Riker must take a hand-picked skeleton crew to hastily refit and man an obsolete starship to take part in a wargame against Captain Picard and the Enterprise. This battle, naturally, features weapons running at low power to simulate live-fire. Also naturally, a third party arrives to cause trouble in the midst of the mock-fight while everyone's weapons systems are locked out. Riker, being outclassed in every practical way, resorts to a remarkable number of unconventional tactics and outright cheating both in the wargame and the ensuing actual confrontation. | |
