    Is This A Pivotal Moment? It's Up To You.....

    Those have pretty much been tried. Rather than 1p there was free membership, this meant UKPSF volunteers putting up stands at events, signing people up and also giving branded freebies. I believe the events provided space for free so there wasn’t a cost there, but the people still put up their...

    Walkons

    A walkon is like a rental day, similar game styles, with a possible lesser degree of marshalling But a higher level of joviality and chatting in the safe zone Say hi to anyone, join in with anyone staging nearby Rather than the nasty sugar & caffeine energy drinks, I highly recommend sports...

    Bottle certification

    For the UK we require either: European Pi mark Newish International UN ISO 11119 Next the cylinder needs to be in date. That typically lasts 5 years after the manufacture date, and then requires an in date hydro test - also usually valid for 5 years. The maximum lifetime for a Pi marked fibre...

However the server owners might be sat on their backups pending fixing the servers and putting in the security...

    Query About UK Paintball Marker Laws

    They are biodegradable, (and non toxic) Note - if you have pets and if they eat enough they will be sick and have rainbow turds. Vet bills are best avoided One of the following is one of my pics of swept up balls in the corner of a CPPS field, the other is a random one from the Internet The...

    Query About UK Paintball Marker Laws

    If you try first strike then that’s produced in a different way (as it is half a ball with fins) and has a different paint mix then most other paintballs So you would be unlikely to notice minor changes between batches With normal paintballs you won’t need the super duper ultra fragile premium...

    Query About UK Paintball Marker Laws

    In 80’ you should expect the ability for accurate shots. Most people’s experience of paintball is at the rental level, with guns selected for maintainability and reliability to actually shoot with lots of abuse, and paint at a grade that could be in stock for some time - sites only know how...

    Query About UK Paintball Marker Laws

    Air weapons are a classification in firearms legislation So paintball guns/markers are firearms and air weapons Exceed 12 ft pounds and it would not be considered a ‘low power air weapon’ and would be treated as a section 1 firearm It can be argued that paintball guns aren’t ‘rifles’ and...

    Apparel Release Dates

    In any industry manufacturers will target key announcements and/or releases at major trade shows or events. For paintball that’s pretty much the World Cup to maximise the hype, but could occur at another major event, or actually release at a different time during the year. If you want to pay...

    Basic Equipment Needed

    If you're referring to a pod bag as I would then its not necessarily worth buying as an individual. A pod bag is supposed to be for carrying pods, when there are a lot of pods. Such as a tournament team who load up a number of pods in staging, grab them for each round, discard them when...

    Recommended Paintball Trousers

    It took me about 10 years in paintball before I bought paintball trousers (and they were just paintball branded lightweight ‘training’ trousers - pretty much just combat/cargo trousers. Because they were cheap on sale) My first proper paintball specific trousers came soon after for free in a...

    Collective opinions on which mask and why

    Collective opinions on which mask and why

    Have a look into prescription inserts. There’s a company that’s marketing to paintball (YouZee clip ins) but there are many brands out there. I got some from prescriptioninserts.com They can send out samples to test the beat fitting in goggles (for the price of postage) Others have things such...

    How Do (Walsall area)

    I’ve tweaked your thread title to flag up that you’re based in Walsall. A few teams watch the forum, but paintball is still quite fragmented on Facebook In normal circumstances a stroll around CPPS and saying hi to a couple of people at the trade stands or watching the fields usually soon gets...

    How Do (Walsall area)

    Walkons are aimed at players with their own gear - but contact warped and they may be able to supply you with the gear to play. CPPS does require you to be in a team. But they have leagues at various levels from new player to elite. There are plenty of teams in the area and they are always...
