  • Adapted markers. They are not the same as the ones we adults use, as children would not be able to handle them.
  • Paintballs. They are made of a different material than that used for normal paintball. They are more fragile and break more easily.
  • Protections. They are adapted and come in various sizes, so that all children can be protected from head to toe.
