Bunker (paintball)

Bunker (paintball)

In paintball, a bunker is an obstacle on the field of play used to block opposing players' view and field of fire. In woodsball, a bunker may consist of a fallen log, collection of wood debris, barrels, or other material. In most modern speedball tournaments, inflatable vinyl bunkers of varied shapes and sizes are utilized.

There are many different variations of bunkers. Some common ones are:
*Can or Standup: A large cylinder bunker which is standing vertically.
*Rollie: A can placed horizontally.
*Dorito: A three-sided pyramid-like bunker (named after Doritos).
*Temple or Aztec: A four-sided pyramid with the top cut off.
*X: A bunker shaped like an x. Used solely for X-ball.
*Brick: A rectangular bunker.
*Dollhouse: A prism which has three faces and two bases. It is longer than it is tall.
*Carwash: An arching bunker which is longer than wide.
*Snake: A snake is a long, low structure (less than 1 meter (3 ft) high) usually located on one or both sides of a field. The snake is a unique setup because it allows a player to advance a considerable distance while still being protected from incoming fire from most locations on the field. It is also generally placed at midfield and gives the best position to fire on the opposing team.
*Tombstone: A bunker shaped like a stereotypical tombstone, rectangular with a round top
*Spike: A triangular prism shaped bunker, taller than it is wide
