Abbas Rizaiy, the owner of the “Eagle” paintball club, brought the game paint-balling to Afghanistan just a few weeks ago. He's a longtime fan of shooter video game “Call to Duty” and stepped up to the next level by playing paintball in neighboring Iran where he was born. He moved to Afghanistan 10 years ago and eventually decided to open the club this year in Kabul, and introduced paint-balling.

These are pictures of men playing paintball in Kabul, Afghanistan. Paintball involves participants geared up in helmets, goggles and protective clothing, firing at each other using gas-powered guns that shoot paint pellets. The games can be complicated affairs that last for hours, or as simple as a capture-the-flag contest that lasts only a few minutes.
