Paintball bunkers are an important part of the sport of paintball. Bunkers protect you and keep you from getting hit. You must know how to use them properly in order to get the most benefit from a bunker and be a successful paintball player.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check out an overview of the different types of paintball bunkers that you may encounter on different paintball fields. When you play on wooded paintball fields, a ditch is considered a paintball game bunker. A standing tree would also be considered a bunker in a game played in the woods. These type of bunkers keep you from being seen or being hit by incoming paintballs.

  2. Step 2

    Use a paintball bunker in a paintball game by remembering that the object of the game is to not get hit. Show as little of your body or paintball marker as possible when coming out from behind the bunker. Alternate sides of the bunker that you come out of to shoot. If you stand and lean out one side, then kneel and come out of the other side. Alternating positions in the bunker keeps the opponent guessing.

  3. Step 3

    Look at the type of paintball bunker used on an air-ball field. These bunkers come in all different shapes and sizes. They are what their name implies: they are blown up with air and are flexible. You can push yourself into these bunkers and not be seen as well. Paintball games can be played with teams closer to each other using these kinds of bunkers.

  4. Step 4

    Realize in using air-ball bunkers, you can move these bunkers a little to help you when playing the game of paintball. These bunkers also, in some cases, let the paintball slide off to the sides of the bunker without breaking. Be careful to not let these paintballs hit you. If they do, you'll be marked and out of the game.
