Making Paintball Cost Less
August 4th, 2009The sport of paintball can be quite costly sometimes especially when it becomes addictive. It can be made to cost less if a few steps are taken and maybe a few sacrifices also. You do have to make adjustments in how you play and how you shop.
An easy way to make your paintball expenses to drop is to team up. You do this by getting a group of friends or teammates to go in to buy items or by just borrowing someone’s cleaning supplies and allen keys. Another guy may already have the goggle cleaner. Maybe someone has an extra gun laying around or the extra parts you need that they are willing to part with for little or maybe even nothing if they are a good friend. Anyway I think you get the idea.
You may also want to look at where you play. It may cost less to play at a field that may be a little further distance but you can save money if you can carpool and save gas. If you already do something like this then it may be in your interest to look for fields that are closer but may have a little higher admission fee especially for groups. Then there is always the idea of creating your own field and avoiding the admission fees altogether
Avoiding unnecessary purchases can also go a long way towards cutting costs. Hold off on those frivolous purchases like that cool upgrade that is really only aesthetic. Don’t buy those grenades you saw online the other day. Who knows you may even find that you can get better deals later (how many times have you bought something only to see it on sale the next week) or that really didn’t need it after all. But if you must buy then consider buying something used. You can shop online at auction sites or maybe even a yard sale or flea market. If you are one that doesn’t like used then you should at least shop around especially online. Things are usually cheaper online than in a shop or at a field and many offer free shipping on items. And always send in your warranty card on new items and make sure you maintain your stuff. That can go a long way towards making your investment last and having fewer headaches while playing.
Buying paintball is a recurring expense that becomes the most expensive cost for most players. Taking a few steps can lower this expense as well. The easiest way to lower paint cost is to change the way you play. This is done by taking your gun off of auto and by picking and choosing your shots more wisely. Going to cheaper paint can lower this cost also buy can lead to less reliable accuracy and function of your gun. It can also make cleanup and maintenance more difficult. The best advice I can give is to use your friends and teammates and buy paint in bulk. There are even choices out there that will fit any weapon caliber so the type of guns your group has does not make this impossible. A little trickier way to make your paint less costly is to change the rules you play by. Do this by having a game that limits your ammo. You can play a game that only gives players one hopper or even limit the game to a low number of rounds. The tricky part comes in if you have to coax a field manager or another team to accept the new rules. A lot less tricky if you have your own field.
Using all of these little tricks can really lower your costs and make those paintball afternoons even more enjoyable. I don’t know about you but the less I spend on my hobbies then the more I can reward myself by playing. Also helps with getting permission from the other half when I want to go and play especially if there is a road trip involved.
New Reusable M80 Landmine
July 29th, 2009Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the release of the new, new reusable M80 Landmine is specifically created for a military training agency, and now available to you, the M80 Landmine is the latest in special gear for scenario players and tactical training. The new M80 Landmine is pressure activated, discharges a variety of harmless payloads, and is durable for years of use in harsh environments! Take paintball to the next level of realism, fun, and tactical excitement with this mine. The reusable M80 Landmine is powered by a rechargeable CO2 reservoir that disperses more than 2oz of smoke-simulation powder or liquid paint, creating a devastating twenty-foot blast radius. It’s completely safe and rule-compliant for use in the sport of paintball!
The RAP4 reusable M80 Landmine is great for paintball and ideal for military combat training. The mine is light and compact, and it can easily be concealed for an effective booby trap, making it an ideal training tool. As an antipersonnel training device, they can be used with smoke-simulation powder to leave a noticeable residue and dramatic cloud, or liquid paint for a distinguishing mark. The mine will “detonate” with 10lbs of pressure, and will produce a loud report! It may be used on its side or vertically, buried with the top exposed or incorporated into a wide variety of realistic booby trap setups. Place M80 Landmines in wood piles, behind doors, with sticks across the top to increase the surface area that triggers the charge…be as creative as the OpFor when you train personnel in mine detection and avoidance. And with the M80 Landmine, you can really surprise your opponents in paintball!
The RAP4 Reusable M80 Landmine can be recharged with any size CO2 cylinder or High Pressure Air (HPA) paintball tank by using the versatile AG1 Thunder Grenade Charger. With the RAP4 CO2 Cylinder Adapter, you can even charge the mine from disposable 12gram cartridges! No matter your marker’s air source, the same tank that powers it can be used to quickly and safely charge the M80 Landmine. Each RAP4 Reusable M80 Landmine comes with FREE AG1 Thunder Grenade Charger. Your M80 landmine is immediately ready for use and is compatible with all air tanks and compress air cylinders. You can use these landmines with the cylinder your already own.
Two more benefits of playing and training with Real Action Paintball’s reusable M80 Landmine: they are a fraction of the cost of other simulated landmines, and since its power source is rechargeable, it costs only pennies per use.
A military agency approached us about creating a realistic, yet safe, training device to use in maneuvers. Due to their budget constraints and needs in the field, the agency needed a training landmine that is reusable and does not require additional purchases for ongoing operation. Now the RAP4 reusable M80 Landmine fulfills those needs for many agencies looking for an alternative, cost-effect training solution that respects their budget…and now you can purchase them, too.

AG1 Grenade Charger is compatible with all air tanks and compress air cylinder. You can use your charger with the cylinder your already own. The RAP4 12gram Disposable C02 Cylinder Adapter uses a single 12gram cylinder to recharge the reusable M80 Landmine and grenades more than 15 times.per cartridge! This setup is small and compact, so you may conveniently carry the charger into action to refill your M80 Landmines all day!

RAP4 Hawkeye Paintball Goggle
July 12th, 2009The Hawkeye goggle is designed with a head and chin strap for the safety. This design prevents the goggle from being pushed down the face, or getting pulled up off of the face. This safety feature is a must for running, jumping, crawling, night play, and other strenuous operations in rough conditions. These straps secure the goggle tightly in place with comfort.
San Jose, CA, July 10, 2009 –(PR.com)– Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the release of the new RAP4 Hawkeye paintball goggle is designed for tactical paintball, military combat training and law enforcement force-on-force training. The Hawkeye goggle is designed with a head and chin strap for the safety. This design prevents the goggle from being pushed down the face, or getting pulled up off of the face. This safety feature is a must for running, jumping, crawling, night play, and other strenuous operations in rough conditions. These straps secure the goggle tightly in place with comfort.
Another distinct design advantage of the Hawkeye goggle is the flexible, soft goggle frame. This allows the chin guard to curve around the butt stock or air tank on the marker as the users take aim. This is especially important for military combat training and law enforcement force-on-force training with T68 and other markers that feature stocks of real military specification.
The users need a broad field of vision for training and playing at the best, and the Hawkeye goggle provides a 190 degree field of view, and clear vision with an anti-scratch and anti-fog thermal cured lens. Perhaps the most convenient attributes are the self-venting design and low profile construction; the vents keep the face cool and get humid air away from the lens, and the low profile is less likely to catch a ball or interfere with game play.
For hardcore training, milsim, or extreme safety, the Hawkeye goggle is compatible with helmets. The soft, flexible plastic frame allows for helmet straps to fasten securely and comfortably, and the entire unit is designed to be structurally efficient while maintaining the softness, flexibility and ventilation that paintball players expect.
Paintball continues rapid growth
July 8th, 2009The thick, chest-high vegetation blocked out the sun and sounds of the field around it.
It was in that quiet, serene thicket that I found myself crawling on my stomach, Army-style, through a cool mud patch.
Suddenly, from a distance, came a barrage of sounds. It was as if someone was shagging softballs with an aluminum bat, except there was also a swooshing of air with each metallic thud.
While peeking through a small opening in the brush, I heard the noise again … FWHUP, FWHUP, FWHUP.
Stalks shook, leaves fell and a sideways hailstorm of paint balls penetrated the vegetation. Returning fire, I retreated deeper into the thicket and felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins.
It was just another afternoon of outdoor fun at AEL Paintball, located just outside of Milton, PA, along Route 405.
AEL, a family-owned business, was opened in 2004 as a place in the community for both new and experienced paintball enthusiasts, according to owner Matt Pierce. “We wanted to offer a professional environment that brought players to the next level, all at a great price.”
Pierce got into paintball as teenager.
“My older brother purchased a paintball gun (or marker) in the mid-1990s and hid it from our parents. While he was away at work, my friends and I would take it and play in the woods,” Pierce said. “Now, since I own the paintball field, I’ve had lots of opportunities to try out new equipment and play with a wide range of local and visiting people.”
AEL offers two playing areas. The Speed ball range is a large, open field laced with inflatable bunkers. There also is a wooded course with a combination of natural bunkers and those made out of wood, old cable spools, plastic barrels, pallets, trenches, moats, boats, and other materials. For one price, all the equipment necessary to play is available for rental. With that price comes the experience of trained paintball referees.
According to Pierce, paintball is a growing sport with a high ceiling.
“Paintball has been geared to a younger crowd, offering a fun and competitive sport that is different from the traditional options like baseball and soccer,” he said. “Paintball can be played indoors and in several different scenarios outdoors, so it offers lots of options all year round.”
AEL, owned by the same family as Blue Heron Sporting Goods, in Milton, draws people from both the local area and outside the state.
“Last year we had a group of kids from New York that were passing through and wanted to play for a few hours. Their group was 82 strong and tired of sitting on the buses. They were dropped off, given the rules, handed equipment and playing within the hour,” Pierce said. “It was like a massive storm blew through the field. Kids were screaming and laughing, paint balls were flying, tactics and bravery were seen from both sides. The games were back-to-back, and it came and went just like a thunderstorm in June. It was a blast!”
As with any sport or activity, safety is the responsibility of the participants, according to Pierce.
“But by playing at AEL Paintball, you have the added benefit of trained staff to oversee all activities. We test-fire all markers before play to ensure they are at the proper speed, and all participants must wear a safety mask and use a safety device on their markers when not in play,” he said.
“All paintballs are purchased on-site to guarantee that they are in good condition. In addition, our games are structured with clear objectives and rules, and the referee is available to settle any disagreements that may arise. Any sport or activity can be dangerous if the participants choose to make dangerous decisions.”
For those interested in getting started and purchasing their own equipment, there are a lot of things to consider.
“There is a wide range of paintball makers available. Some brands focus on low cost, some focus on quality and some focus on flashy looks. Most of the mid-range paintball markers are very reliable. There are some accessories that improve the accuracy of your marker, but many that just improve the look or style,” said Pierce. “In general, the price of paintball supplies has come down and is now less costly than equipment for many of the traditional sports.
“One of the best advantages that AEL Paintball can offer the local community is the ability to try out the games and different rental packages before buying your own equipment. The referees can help by offering expertise on the different makes and models of paintball supplies.”

Rules of Paintball
June 30th, 2009The Rules of Paintball
Posted by admin on 6/30/09 • Categorized as Games for Party
The Rules of Paintball
All the boys like to play wargames. And some girls like it too. Paintball is the coolest game for active people! Shut and run! Hide and ambush! «Kill» and win! Do the battle with your friends! Know the rules of Paintball.
General Rules
1. In each game a minimum of one person is elected as the Referee. His function is starting the game, stopping the game for paint checks, deciding the issues that may arise and ending the game. The Referee should have a whistle to make signals to start, to stop and to end the game.
2. If the player is hit by a paintball (marking pellet) and it breaks on him (his clothing, gun or equipment) he must left the game. He is «dead». It doesn’t matter whether the player is shot by a opposing player or a teammate (friendly fire). When a player is hit she or he have to instantly call themselves «out or deadman». The «killed» player must hold his gun over his head, continues to call out «out or deadman» and leaves the playing field by the shortest route.
3. If the paintball didn’t break when it hit the player it is not a killing shot and the player keeps alive. The strike by a splatter from a marking pellet is not considered as hit and the player continues the game. Sometimes players think that they were shot and start to call themselves «deadman», they left the field and after they discover that they are clean — but it’s too late, they can’t return into the game. That is the rule.
4. When two or more players mark each other at the same time, they all must be eliminated. A referee will decide who is to be eliminated when two or more players are marked.
5. If there is question as to whether a player has been marked, call for a «Paint Check». It is the task of the referee. In this case the game is stopped, all players remain where they are at until the referee solves the problem and restarts the game.
6. The length of game must be predetermined. Usually game runs 30 to 60 minutes. One of the function of The Referee is to keep track of the time. The time limit makes a game more aggressive.
7. If you play «Capture the flag», only one player is permitted to guard the flag at the station. In the case of eliminating of the guardian, she or he leaves the flag at the point where she or he got shot.
8. It is not allowed to player to move together with the barricades.
9. «Dead Man Silent». It means that «deadman» is not allowed to speak to any of the players when he lefts the field.
10. The captain is very important person in the team. At the meeting, he receives any final instructions and written notice of rules. After the battle, captains of both teams attend the calculation of the points done by the referee.
11. Every field has its boundaries. During the game, if player go outside of the boundaries he must leave the play field area at once. All shots fired from outside the Boundaries do not count.
12. A team will be disqualified if any player enters a playing field for a game without having signed a waiver.
Safety Rules
1. All players must wear long-sleeve shirts and full-length pants. Arms and legs must be fully covered during play by special equipment.
2. Do not take off the glasses or mask during a game.
3. It is prohibited to shoot from a distance less than 5 meters. The capsule leaves the barrel with an average speed of 80-100 m/sec., and this may lead to injuries. If the distance between two rival players is under 5 meters, the must increase the distance, or the referee stops the game.
4. If a player holds his or her gun with both hands stretched out over his or her head, it is banned to shoot at the player.
RAP17 Paintball Pistol
June 24th, 2009We are proud to introduce the ultimate in paintball pistols, the RAP17! The world’s first paintball pistol that replicates the look, feel and operation of a real sidearm. When you see and hold the RAP17, you know that you have a serious pistol in hand. Its design and heft, gives a solid feeling of the very best of paintball pistols. This pistol is built with real action in mind, with full reciprocating action and a magazine clip that slides into the grip from below.
The RAP17 is made of metal alloy and hard plastic. The slide and internal mechanism are made of hardened metal alloy and steel that can withstand drops, rough use and abuse. The RAP17 functions like a real handgun with blowback action and strong kickback. It’s powered by a refillable internal built-in CO2 reservoir inside the handgrip which can shoot 30 rounds of .43 cal paintballs per each fill. Filling up CO2 is easy, the RAP17 package comes with a fill adapter that can be connected to any regular CO2 tank (45g, 200g, 9oz, 12oz, etc.) to fill up the RAP17.
A 12g disposable CO2 cylinder version of the RAP17 is also available. This version is called RAP17 EX, EX stands for external. This is having the 12g disposable CO2 cylinder locate inside the pistol grip that capable of firing more than 30 rounds.
Unlike other RAP Series, the RAP17 doesn’t eject shell casings. The paintballs are loaded into a magazine which can hold 10 rounds and the magazine is inserted into the handgrip.
