1: Your local sites should have stations if they dont use CO2, just mak sure your bottle is full before you leave if you wish to have air at home

2: Chances are if your doing a walkon it wont be bring your own. However if its scenario, DXS do some great paint, ive used carbon all year at scenario and havnt had a problem. Im not 100% sure on availability of it from what ive heard though hearsay dxs are slowing paint into the UK? im not sure.

3: Cant tell you, nowhere near.

4: better to book sooner than later but some people do turn up on the sunday and pay n play. Up to you if you wish to camp.

Hope this helps

^ That pretty much sums all that up, I would book NVS like at least 3 weeks before for safety, but not many big paintball events sell out. Its only the smaller tighter limit games like call to duty you`ve got to worry about.

Paint wise, I play big games and i`ve been using dark sports standard field from lips for £26 a box, I was buying a large amount of boxes at one point and rung them up and they bumped down to £24 a box. I can`t garentee they would do the same again depends how many you order.

But paint was fine and I was shooting it through my tippman98 which as you could tell is pretty hardcore on paint.

Paint depends on certain things, these are what you should look out for:

1. What is the current weather like, is it freezing cold all day? If so go with a winter paintball
2. What gun are you shooting it through? I would assume your LT would be able to handle the softer balls.
3. However where are you shooting? Very wooded? In that case you need to shoot through twigs and branches.

So all In all if your looking to have the paint for NVS then I`d suggest just the low end Dark Sports Field. Its formulated for European conditions and its a harder ball so it can get through those overgrown woodlands =D

Pretty much spot on for advice paint wise. Although some people were using powder balls at NvS last year. I know i got hit by a couple. stay away from those id say, use proper paint. DS have a few types, obviously the more you pay the better the quality should be. and Darksports is great quality, shot it all season for supair pretty much no problems, love it.

I think there band. I remember hearing when packing up the guys that where using them got kick off site. So no need to worry about that.

I used sterling site paint for N v S last year. Did the job spot on and its cost nothing really. No point in my eyes spending loads on paint at a game like that.

Exactly i agree cus you have to run 4 miles b4 you see anyone @ N v S

 

[Roquey]

well with all the longballers i can see why. but i like to be able to shoot people when i can see then so the balls going straight helps

 

[Punter337]

I could never understand the concept of a liquid filled shell going straight??? LOL

i prefer my paint to break when i hit someone rather than just bounce off. i just dont have fun shooting a guy 15 times everyone bouncing and him to turn around and ping you once and it break as he has decent paint

if a paintball can bash into woodlands and survive the chance of it breaking on your target is next to nothing.

o and sterling mace all the way for paint
