In real military combat, landmines can add to the dangerous state of the battle field. In paintball games, landmines do the same. They can be placed strategically around the field to trip up the opponents. It will be fun watching them being sprayed by a load of paint. Paintball landmines can add a new dimension to an entertaining game of paintball.

One type of paintball landmine is buried in the ground and activated when stepped on. These are basically pressurized canisters filled with paint. They are generally cheaper. Another kind is free standing and is triggered by motion or heat sensors. This kind is more sophisticated and is definitely more expensive.
