This is the most important piece of kit in paintball. At Delta Force we regularly inspect our equipment to ensure it meets our strict safety standards. We regularly commission the new design of full head helmets to ensure the head is protected from shots, while also allowing for wide angled vision.

 

Inferno paintball gunGuns:

We use a range of quality semi-automatic paintball guns across our centres, ranging from the 0.68 calibre Inferno to the Tippmann 98. Both are renowned for their accurate firepower and reliability to perform in the heat of the battle.

 

Delta Force paintball body armourBody armour:

In order to protect the upper body, we issue custom-designed body armour that reduces the impact of paintball shots when out in the field. Small, rigid plastic plates are held together by a mesh cover, allowing you to still move with freedom and be protected at the same time. This padded vest also helps you look the part as you charge the fort and win the game for your team!

 

Delta Force Paintball overalls Overalls:

Our overalls cover your regular clothing from colourful paintball shots, as well as adding a layer of protection. The overalls come with padded collars to shield your neck.

Battlepacks at Delta Force are custom-designed to hold up to 400 additional paintballs, all in separate holders capable of carrying 100 paintballs each. You don't want to be caught out without paintballs at the key moment in the game, so make sure you secure your battlepack on arrival at your Delta Force paintball centre.
