Abstract
Paintball targets including a battleship having an array of smaller targets pivotally mounted on a base that is shaped to resemble the shape of a ship's hull. The smaller targets are designed to swing back on a hinge to display an image of fire and destruction, upon the impact of a paintball projectile on the target's face, thus visually providing the user with the satisfaction of knowing that he/she has destroyed the intended target. A vortex drive track is also disclosed having multiple spinning targets each carried on a corresponding cord that is suspended at a slight angle. When a target is hit by a paintball projectile it spins on its cord. This vertical rotation, along with the downward slope of the cord, and the assistance of gravity will force the target to progress down the cord.
