War games give Lawrence color
Heavily-armed Paintball warriors confront enemies on area battlefields
By Barry Goldblatt Special to the Kansan
Chris Banash crept through the dense cover of brush, his eyes flicking right and left to catch any glimpse of movement.
Special to the Kansan
The snap of a branch off to his left sent him scutting for cover behind a stand of trees. The snapping sound echoed in the forest.
Another man, dressed in muted greens and browns, crouched near the side of an empty stream bed, apparently unaware of the nearby watcher.
A smile spread across Banash's face. He raised his hand, cupped the safety and lined up the victim's sights.
"Got you," he mattered but she squeezed the man's neck and wiped on the other man's jacket — a paint stain.
Although it appeared to be a training session for modern day soldiers, the two were playing Paintball, a tactical game in which players shoot each other with powered guns and small capsules filled with paint.
"It's a great way to release all your tensions," said Banash, Prairie Village sophomore. "Some people do drugs; some people smoke; some people drink: I do this."
Banish plays the game on a 50-acre playing field at The Drop Zone, 20 minutes south of Lawrence.
The president of the company, Ken Farris, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, came up with the idea to open a Paintball field near Lawrence because he knew it would pay to make money and have fun at the same time.
Inc., a company founded by three KU students.
"it's the kind of thing college students could really get into," Farris said. "The competition, the exercise: They love it."
Two other Lawrence residents applied this month for a permit to start their own paint ball company, Splatter Inc., northwest of Eudora. If approved, the game would occupy a 47-acre tract of land just south of the Kansas River and north of the far reaches of 15th Street.
Steve Ross, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said he enjoyed the game's excitement.
"It's an adrenaline rush," he said. "Everybody is competition, and warfare is the oldest kind of competition."
people without worrying about any repercussions.
It's the thrill of combat without the fear of death."
Rob DeWhrist, Wichita sophomore, has been playing Painball regularly for almost two months.
The rules of Paintball can vary. The basic game is an adult form of capture-the-flag, with each team scoring points by "killing" opponents and capturing their base. Other types of games include
“assault the machine gun nest” — where one team attacks and the other defends — and more basic games where the object is simply to tag opponents. Since opening in August, Farris said, the number
The Drop Zone now is open on Sundays or on Saturdays for groups of 10 or more with a reservation.
Since opening in August, Farris said, the number of people coming to play almost has doubled.
Anyone can play Paintball for $5.90 a game or

Players must buy their own ammunition, $1.10 for one tube of 10 paintsballs, and air cartridges for 50 cents each. They can rent guns at the field.
ceterion. They believe that Farris said that because of the game's potentially dangerous nature, they followed strict guidelines for safety.
All players must sign an accident waiver and are required to wear long sleeves and long pants. The company also provides players with goggles and face masks which must be worn at all times when on the playing field. The paint washes off with soap and water.
Farris said that the staff members all were trained in first aid.
"We're capable of handling any accident that might happen," he said. "As long as everyone follows the rules, no one should get hurt. Our biggest concern is self-inflicted stupidity."
