In 2005, the company directors considered undergoing a name change, but the market's recognition of the brand name deemed it was not the best thing to do commercially. The controversial company name originated from a time when paintball itself was in the midst of controversy, trying to establish itself as a reputable industry. The company name references the bomber plane, Enola Gay, which was the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb during World War II. Where does the Enola Gaye name come from? The smoke grenades for which the brand would later become most known for was added to their roster during development of their original paint grenade. The company started with an idea to manufacture a biodegradeable pyrotechnic paint grenade made from papier-mâché that looked just like its real grenade counterpart. Founded in 1996, Enola Gaye is the longest running pyrotechnic company manufacturing products for the airsoft and paintball industries.
