Oh my good god!

Just browsing ebay to see if there are any good deals around and look what I happened across......

ebay

Wow, I thought, indoor paintball in London! I've always wanted to play indoor. Then I noticed the bit about 200 free paintballs - good deal (worth £20).....

10p a ball!!!!! what the hell are they using? Hellfire? Site angels on air with an on-site 4500 compressor?!!!!???! My good god!

Rant over,

Wow - they must have skipped back 10 years - perhaps they're using PGPs and 12 grams too! (actually, that would kinda fun in an indoor area, but not at those prices anymore).

I think that's city paintball ur talking about..All the suits go there and charge it to the company card.
They used battered tippmans and crap paint.It also stinks down there.

They should just haul out the markers and goggles during the next meeting and have done with it - certainly make the meetings I go a damn sight more interesting.

Incidentally, I remember years ago there was a London indoor site based around a sci-fi theme - reception area playing vids of Terminator and Blade Runner, and people issued with trenchcoats instead of cammies (must have had a few bouncers). Anyone ever play there?

Had a glance at the ebay ad & it says something about a new site......
But if you want to be even more horrified, have a look at the Elektrowerks website. This place is in Islington & has handed out flyers at underground stations for years now http://www.londonurbanpaintball.com/
I've copied this little clip from the prices page as a taster

"3 hour Evening Game: £14.50 (Monday - Friday only)
3 hour Day Game: £14.50 (Saturday - Sunday).
These prices entitle you to: Participation in the game Hire of Splatmaster gun 2 tubes of ammunition 1 CO2 canister Full camo-clothing, mask & goggles Free tea & coffee.
Extra tubes of ammo & CO2 canisters are available from reception, located in the video lounge, during the game and will be charged to your account for settlement at the end of the game. Price per tube of 10 shots: £1.50 CO2 canister: £1. "

So that's splatmasters(!), 15p per ball, & presumably 12grams at £1

I had the 'pleasure' of going to a rave held at the electrowerkz site a month or so ago - not a nice place. I understand its used a lot for goth & heavy metal nights also.

Their description is pretty accurate though "post apocalyptic battlefield"
