Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum age you can take part in paintball?

12.

Does being hit by the paintballs hurt?

Our markers are limited to be within the recognised recommend industry safety limit.

Being hit from close range can cause bruising and may result in uncovered skin being broken.

How big is your paintball site?

25 acres.

Are Absolut Paintball games dangerous?

No. The rules of the game are written down, our marshals give a 10 minute comprehensive safety brief prior to the games starting and these are reiterated throughout the day.

What happens in an accident or medical emergency?

How many shots can you get from a full gas bottle?

Approximately 900.

Does the paint stain?

No.

Layers of loose clothing and stout boots are recommended as the ground is fairly rugged and set in the outdoor environment. Remember we supply overalls during your day. Bring a spare set of clothes and footwear to get changed into at the end of the day.
