Delta Force Paintball Newcastle NSWNovember 23rd, 2023
Delta Force Paintball Australia, the country’s leader in high-octane skirmish action, has officially announced a nationwide transition from traditional .68 caliber paintballs to the more advanced .50 caliber "Low Impact" technology.
This strategic move is designed to enhance the player experience across all skill levels, making the sport more accessible, tactical, and—most importantly—fun.
Why the Change? The Science of "Low Impact"
For years, the .68 caliber ball has been the industry standard, but it often came with a "sting" that intimidated newer players. By switching to .50 caliber, Delta Force is prioritizing a smoother game without sacrificing the thrill of the hunt.

What This Means for Players
Less Ouch, More Action: The lighter rounds mean significantly less bruising and discomfort. This makes the game more inclusive for families, corporate groups, and younger players.
Increased Ammo Capacity: Because the rounds are smaller, players can carry more paint onto the field, allowing for longer rallies and more "suppressive fire" opportunities.
Better Equipment Performance: The new .50 cal markers are lighter and more maneuverable, reducing player fatigue during those intense full-day sessions.
Eco-Friendly Precision: As always, the paint remains 100% biodegradable and non-toxic, ensuring the Australian bush stays as pristine as we found it.
"Our goal has always been to provide the most immersive paintball experience in the world. By moving to .50 caliber, we’re removing the 'fear factor' for beginners while giving our seasoned vets a more precise, tactical tool to dominate the map." — Delta Force Operations Team
Ready to Join The Fun?
The rollout is currently live across all Australian centers. Whether you’re defending the Tomb Raider pyramid or storming the Black Hawk Down extraction point, the new .50 cal era is here to stay.

So what do I wear to paintball?
It’s a question everyone hates to ask, but I get it. You’re about to spend your day commando-rolling, running, and dodging paintballs, and the last thing you want to do is be uncomfortable. You need to focus on beating the enemy, not your pants!
I’ve got you covered! Here’s a basic list of what we recommend all our paintball warriors wear to our centres. Of course we will kit you out in the best safety gear, but it’s always best to be prepared!
Pants that you can run in. Remember, you are going to spend your day crouching, staying low and running! So we recommend wearing pants that allow for a wide range of movement.
Supportive shoes. Here at Delta Force we play rain, hail or shine, so we recommend wearing shoes that have strong ankle support. Just remember that they may get dirty with all the action, so we don’t recommend wearing your new white joggers!
T-shirt and possibly a light hoodie. If you’re looking for maximum protection on the field, wearing a light hoodie underneath the suit we give you will give you added protection from the sting of the bullets!
So there you have it! Not so stressful now, huh?
I’ll be sharing some helpful tips and hints over the next few months that will see you go from paintball newbie to paintball pro in no time at all!
