Yes. HPA(High Pressure Air) tanks can be refilled. Sorry, Co2 is not available at this time.
Yes. You can bring your own gear. However, outside paintball are not allowed. You will need a barrel plug/sock for your equipment.
Yes, the paintball is a round gelatinous capsule filled with a non hydrogenated oil, colored by a nontoxic non-caustic, water soluble and biodegradable colored dye (food coloring). A change of clothes is always advisable to keep your vehicle clean.
We suggest 10 years of age and up to play paintball. We have had many 8 and 9 year olds play, however, they must be aware that a hit from a paintball can cause a temporary stinging sensation. Paintball guns also weight around 10 lbs. Kids that play hockey, soccer and/or lacrosse tend to enjoy paintball. We offer chest protectors, neck protectors and facemasks for all players to rent or purchase.
Players under the age of 18 need a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Click here to download
No. Total Combat Paintball welcomes all individual players during regular business hours for open session play, but the more friends you bring the better the game play.
Long sleeve shirts and pants are highly recommended as well shoes or boots(open toed shoes are not permitted during play). Multiple layers of clothing will also help with the pain factor upon impact of paintballs.
The minimum safety equipment necessary is a paintball mask with mouth and ear protection. Other safety equipment is is also recommended but not required. Total Combat Paintball offers masks, padded vests, gloves, and neck protectors for our guests.
The gelatin capsule breaks on impact thus causing very little pain. We find that the pain is comparable to that of being whipped by a wet towel. Most players claim that the adrenaline rush while playing causes the impact to feel almost painless.
Like all other action sports (football, basketball, etc.) paintball is safe as long as adequate protection (a mask) is worn and safety rules are followed.
A 2001 study by the National Injury Information Clearinghouse of the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission concluded that paintball is safer than bowling.
The study noted that for every 10,000 participants, paintball involved 2.4 injuries but bowling involved 4.7 injuries.
Paintball is basically like dodgeball. Only, in this game each player has a gun that fires gelatin capsules filled with a water-soluble marking dye(washable). If you're shot and marked, you're out of the game and have to wait until the next one starts. The most common variation is two teams at opposite ends of a field. The object is eliminate the other team. When you encounter people on the other team, you try to tag them out before they get you. Pretty simple and lots of fun.

It Depends on how fast you pull your "trigger finger." On average 200 paintballs should last 4-5 games.
Total Combat Paintball is field paint only. All paint shot on the field or chrono range must be paint purchased from our field.
