Can I bring my own paintball marker or equipment to the Newcastle centre?

Yes, you may bring your own equipment, but strict NSW legal requirements apply:

Paintball Markers: You may use your own marker provided you hold a valid NSW Paintball Marker Permit (or equivalent interstate license) and the marker is inspected by our staff. Strictly .50 Calibre only. It must be chronographed to fire below 300 FPS and must be compatible with Delta Force air bottles (We do NOT allow any customers’ own gas cylinders on site for ANY REASON.). The marshals fill the air bottles to 3000 PSI after each double game (about 30 minutes of action). You will have more than enough gas to get you through the games.
The manager will do a quick check on the marker to make sure they satisfy H & S guidelines.
Goggles & Suits: You are welcome to use your own paintball-specific goggles and combat suits, provided they pass a safety inspection by our Center Manager on the day.
Paintballs: For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by Delta Force on the day of your event may be used. External paintballs are strictly prohibited.

Important: We operate a strict “No Markers in Base Camp” policy. Your equipment must remain safely racked in our designated gun zone when not in active play. all equipment is subject to the final approval and discretion of the Centre Manager.

In the build up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games and HSBC Sevens World Series, The Australian Men’s Rugby Sevens squad has enlisted the help of Delta Force Paintball in the pursuit of peak performance.

Aussie Men's Rugby 7's team at Delta Force Paintball - Appin

As a part of a three-day camp the full squad visited Delta Force’s Appin location and undertook some adrenaline-filled activities. The requirement of team work, communication and strategy makes paintball an ideal activity for these elite athletes.

Delta Force Appin has an amazing array of scenarios and game zones making it an ideal location for the national side’s training camp. Crowd favourites include the custom-designed and manufactured Black Hawk chopper; 30 ft. Egyptian pyramid with guarding sphinxes; London double-decker bus amongst many more. The Delta Force team used these epic game zones along with creative scenarios to take the players on a physical, thought-provoking and competitive series on challenges.

At the conclusion of the session the team presented Delta Force with a signed jersey as a sign of their appreciation. A fantastic session was had by all and Delta Force is proud to be the paintball provider of choice for the Australian Men’s Rugby Sevens team and play a small part in their pursuit of Gold.
One of the great things about paintball is that it’s just like playing a real life video game. Your success relies on strong teamwork and cohesion, and like any game, there are rules that paintball players need to follow. At Delta Force Paintball our rules are all in the interest of your safety, and the safety of our marshals. Here are three paintball rules you have to know!

Rule One: Wear your paintball mask at all times on the field!

On the game zones there are paint balls coming from all directions, and they can come fast! Because we want everyone to leave with the eyes they came with, this is a pretty important rule. Taking off your mask means you’re risking serious damage to your eyes, and we can’t have that!

Rule Two: 3 metre rule.

In the interest of everyone’s safety, we have a 3 metre rule that must be followed at all times. You can’t shoot someone if they are closer than three metres, there’s too much risk of injury from shooting at point blank range!

Rule Three: Headshots don’t count.

No one likes to go home with a headache, so it’s simple: Don’t shoot people in the head. The shot won’t count and you will have wasted your paintballs, and that’s something none of us want.

We like to keep things as simple as possible here, so there’s not really too much you need to know. On your day of paintball the marshals will explain these rules fully. Until then I’ll keep sharing some helpful hints, we like our paintball warriors to be fully prepared for battle!
