The Canadian comedy series The New Red Green Show features a sort of paintball game during their Adventures with Bill segment. (Season seven, "Expropriation", 1997.)

(Adventures with Bill segments are always filmed in black-and-white.)

The Red Green Show
This segment opens with Harold Green (Patrick McKenna) who has just finished painting a sign for the new paintball field.

The Red Green Show
Just moments later, the sign is shot several times, and Bill, (Rick Green) paintgun in hand, rushes up to admire his handiwork.

The Red Green Show
Bill exuberantly shows off his marker, ready to play.

The Red Green Show
A little too enthusiastically perhaps, as he waves it past Harold's head, then looks down the barrel himself.

The Red Green Show
To get ready for the game, Bill pulls two pairs of white coveralls out of his overalls. (It makes sense in context. You DO know this is a comedy show, right? )

The Red Green Show
And of course, as he's struggling to put the coverall on- without putting his gun down- manages to point it at Harold again.

The Red Green Show
Then, jumping up and down to get into the coveralls, Bill manages to shoot himself in the crotch.

The Red Green Show
Later, at the practice range, we see both Bill and Harold firing rapidly off into the woods.

The Red Green Show
Harold with a look of grim determination....

The Red Green Show
... And Bill with a look of unbridled lunacy.

The Red Green Show
Both of them are shooting identical Kingman Spyder Compacts, each with a Viewloader VL-200 and a vertically-mounted
7-ounce CO2 tank with an on-off valve. It's hard to tell, but it appears they are actually firing paint in this shot- you can see
lighter-colored rounds in the 'window' of the power feed neck.

The Red Green Show
Bill then indicates they need to go up and look at their targets.

The Red Green Show
Harold, it turns out, has neatly missed the entire silhouette, while Bill appears to have aimed on at his target's crotch.

The Red Green Show
Once the game begins, after a brief James-Bond-esque down-the-barrel shot, Bill, blinded by paint, runs into a tree and
knocks himself loopy. We then see a Rambo-like "arming up" montage, where Bill fills water balloons and a Super Soaker
with paint, straps on some spray-cans as a bandolier of "grenades...

The Red Green Show
And apparently a bad muscle suit. Red says "get a load a' the nipples on that!" Also note the paintbrushes tucked in his headband.

The Red Green Show
Harold tries to run away, but is confronted by Bill's superior firepower. Bill first tosses one of the small spray cans as a
grenade, which knocks Harold off his feet. Before he can get up, he's fired at with paintballs (note the spray coming off
the near tree, right at the bright spot.)

The Red Green Show
Then assaulted with water-balloon grenades (note the splash at the base of that same tree.)

The Red Green Show
And more "grenades"...

The Red Green Show
Which blow up right next to him- note that at no time do either of them have any face or eye protection.

The Red Green Show
And still more balloon-grenades.

The Red Green Show
Finally, he gets up to run, only to be cut down, Platoon style, by Bill. Bill then trips and falls, coming right back up completely
back to normal. (As in, without the muscle suit, headband, extra weapons, etc.)

The Red Green Show
Bill apologizes to Harold- "No hard feelin's, huh?"

The Red Green Show
BLAT! Nope, no hard feelings at all.
