Paintball Coach
Beam
10.00 × 2.95 ft
A long round tube lying on its side. Beams are what a snake is built from: a line of them down one sideline, each one a step further up the field.

Glossary
Paintball bunker names
Every bunker that goes on a speedball or xball field, drawn from directly above — which is how you see it in a layout, and the view that makes a wing and a brick hard to tell apart until someone points out the shading. Shapes and footprints are the app's own, so a bunker here is the same object you tap in Paintball Coach.
Counts are from the 60 published 2026 layouts on this site — all of them are drawn here.
Every bunker, most common first
Ordered by how many of them go on a field across the season, not alphabetically — which is itself the quickest way to learn which ones matter.
Temple
4.92 × 4.92 ft
A squat four-sided bunker, wider at the base than at the top. The workhorse of a layout — more temples go on a field than anything but beams.

Dorito
6.50 × 6.56 ft
The triangle. One flat face to the shooter, apex pointing up the field. The sideline they stand on is the dorito side, and that is how everyone names it.

Mini W
7.06 × 2.66 ft
A low W, more a sightline blocker than cover. From above it is a bar, the two dark bands being the valleys either side of the centre bump.

Cylinder
3.94 × 3.94 ft
A vertical can. Round from every angle, which is why it is usually called a can rather than a cylinder.

Small Brick
2.95 × 5.90 ft
The short brick, the most common filler between bigger pieces.

Tree
2.95 × 2.95 ft
A narrow upright post. Thin cover, used to break a lane.

Wing
4.87 × 7.50 ft
Two panels meeting at an angle, so it covers from two directions at once. Seen from above it is a rectangle: the dark end is the tall end, where the cover is highest.

Small Wing
4.26 × 6.04 ft
The smaller one. Same footprint, same tall end.

Banner
6.56 × 2.62 ft
Not cover. A sponsor banner, placed at the field edge by the editor rather than played off.

Small Dorito
5.00 × 5.00 ft
The same triangle, smaller, so less of a player fits behind it.

Plus
12.73 × 12.73 ft
A large cross, usually on or near the fifty. Covers in four directions.

Brick
5.41 × 9.84 ft
A tall rectangular block. Placed upright or on its side, which changes its footprint.

Cake
3.94 × 4.33 ft
A truncated wedge — wide at the back, narrow at the front.

Mini X
6.23 × 2.62 ft
A low X, used the same way as the mini W — low enough that from above it is simply a bar.
4 placed across 2 of the 60 2026 layouts on this site
Center X
14.76 × 5.58 ft
The widest piece that goes on a layout, an X laid across the centre — almost 15 feet of it, with a dark tip at each end.

Snake side, dorito side, and the fifty
The snake side
The sideline with the snake on it — a line of beams running up the field, each one a step closer to the other end. Teams name the side after it, so "snake side" is a half of the field, not a bunker.
The dorito side
The sideline with the row of triangles along it, normally opposite the snake. Not every layout divides that cleanly: of the 60 here, 26 put every beam on one sideline and every dorito on the other, and the rest mix them.
The fifty
The centre line, halfway between the two start boxes — 75 feet from each on a 150 foot field. Bunkers on or near it are the ones both teams can reach off the break.
