Paintball - Where It All Began
Paintball is growing leaps and bounds in popularity these days. Ah, but where did it get its start? The origins are fairly humorous and had nothing to do with the game we have today.

Circuit breakers trip for one of two reasons, a short circuit or an overloaded circuit. A short circuit being the simplest to explain and the hardest to repair and an overloaded circuit being relatively easy to explain and easier to fix. A breaker is designed to regulate the amount of amperage a wire can safely carry. This is why most 110 volt circuits in your home are wired with 12 Gage wire and placed on a 20 amp breaker. Quite possibly your home could be wired on 14 gage wire and a 15 amp breaker. One could place a 15 amp breaker on the 12 gage wire a swell but you can NEVER place a 20 amp breaker on 14 gage wire. See, wire has a rated ampacity that it can carry and 12/20 and 14,15 are the...
