Who plays
paintballing..
Anybody who wants to be an All Action
Hero of course
Paintball is a sport played and enjoyed by both
men and women of all ages and races. It is a sport where
women and men compete equally, and where age is not
dominated by youth. Like a game of chess, being able to
think quickly and decisively is what makes you a star in
paintball. Intelligence and determination, not merely
strength, speed or agility, are key to success in the
sport. Paintball is a sport where teams of people use
CO2 or nitrogen/compressed air powered "guns"
to project .68 caliber round capsules. These capsules
are filled with a non-toxic water based paint. This
paint inside the capsule is what is used to mark the
player after he or she is hit to let them and everyone
else know they are no long in the game. Although there
are many kinds of elaborate geme scenarios, the most
basic is called ‘Capture the Flag’. This is where each
team attacks the other whilst defending the team base
camp & flag from the enemy.
The whistle blows, the trops move out through the dense
woodland terrain, guns at the ready grenades and
ammunition strapped to their battle packs,just waiting
for the firs opportunity to blast the opposition. Who’
going to be the first unlucky customer?
EQUIPMENT
Face Mask or Goggles
Description - This is
the most important piece of kit you will be issued and
must be maintained correctly all day whilst on site. You
will be given full instruction on how to fit and adjust
the unit before you will be allowed to play, and also on
how to use the Calotherm anti-fogging solution provided.
These goggles have been especially designed for the use
of playing paintball and can withstand a direct shot to
the lens. The unit offers you eye, ear and head
protection. It comes with an added peak to keep the rain
and sun out of your vision.
Paintball Hopper
The hopper on top of the gun carries some 200 paintballs
at a time - enough for at least one game!
Cammo Gear and
Clothing
Description
- Available in
four sizes - small, medium, large and extra large. The
camouflage pattern used is British D.P.M. (Disrupted
Pattern Material) although at times we use a plain
coverall depending on the venue you are attending. The
suit has elasticised cuffs and ankles with poppers to
secure the front. These suits are made from a light
cotton drill and will give your clothes protection
against mud and paint during the day..
The Paintball Guns or
Markers
Description
- The Inferno semi-automatic paintball
marker. Accurate, non-clogging and utterly reliable! CO²
powered and capable of firing 6 balls per second it
makes for a formidable weapon out on the field. Accurate

distance. The gas tank is good for around 600-800 shots
depending on the ambient air temperature. All the guns
are set at the industry limit of 300 fps and are checked
