Yes! You are welcome to use your own paintball goggles, combat suits, and markers at our Vancouver centre. However, please note that the use of any personal equipment is at the absolute discretion of the Centre Manager on the day. If a piece of equipment does not meet our specific safety or technical standards, it will not be permitted on the field.
Marker Requirements & Inspections
To play with your own marker, it must pass an inspection by the manager and meet the following criteria:
- .50 Calibre Only: We exclusively use .50 calibre paintballs to ensure a safer, more enjoyable experience. Your marker must be compatible with this size; standard .68 calibre markers are not permitted.
- Chronograph Test: The manager will perform a quick chronograph test to ensure your marker is firing below 300 FPS (feet per second) to comply with site safety and insurance regulations.
- Air Systems & TC Stamps: We operate a strict “no customer-owned gas cylinders” policy. You may not bring your own tanks or bottles on-site for any reason. Our marshals will provide and attach Delta Force air bottles to your marker, provided they are compatible and satisfy health and safety guidelines (including being TC/DOT stamped).
- Air Refills: Our marshals will refill the provided air bottles to 3000 PSI after every “double game” (approximately every 30 minutes of action), ensuring you have plenty of gas for the mission.
Maintenance & Safety
- Base Camp Safety: We operate a strict “no markers in Base Camp” policy to protect all guests.
- Gun Zone: When not in active play, your marker must be safely racked in our designated Gun Zone. You are free to perform any necessary maintenance in this area between games.
- Game Placement: Once cleared by the manager, you can use your marker in private games or alongside other patrons.
Paintballs
For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by Delta Force Paintball on the day of your event may be used. External paintballs are strictly prohibited.
Important: The Centre Manager’s decision regarding the safety and suitability of any personal equipment is final. If your gear is not approved, we will provide you with our high-quality rental equipment so you don’t miss out on the action!
