➡️ New Player FAQ

1) Where can I play ?
There are several comercial fields where you can experience paintball Indoor locations are Adrenaland Paintball 801-304-9696 and PB Addicts both in Salt Lake. If you are looking for outdoor try Splat Paintball in West Point, or Action Center in Mountain Green

2) Does Paint stain?
No its actually Gelatin and coloring, it washes out of almost all clothes and its bio-degradable and edible.

3) Does it hurt?
A little get over it.

4) Whats the best gun?
There is no single best, different guns appeal to different people. I suggest avoiding Brass Eagle and clones (JT, Viewloader, etc).
Tippmanns are great, durable and Spyders work well, Pirahnas and other Spyder Clones.

5) Why are there $1500 guns?:
Consider any sport, there are $800 golf clubs and $4000 mountain bikes. High performance guns can shoot about 25+ balls per second they are also capable of sustained abuse that occurs on the tournament circuit.

6) How do I find out about games?
Sites like 801paintball are great places but most local proshops also have flyers or other information available. At my shop we have Technical classes you can find the schedule on the Millennium Paintball Website..

If you want to try local tournaments try the UXPL or MWXPL

If you are interested in Big Games or Scenario Games then also check Millennium Paintball Website.. again or the guys at Action center do a few games.

Yes paintball's are edible, but after dealing with an upset child and an enraged mother after my 1 year old nephew ate what he thought was a delicous gum ball, I would not recomend feeding them to small children or unsuspecting victums. Although, It was quite funny seeing the bright orange paint in his mouth and the confused look on his face after he was so blindly decepted by the balls shape and color. HE HE HE. Good Times

p.s. If you can get the parents in on it, you can enjoy all the fun without fear of punishment. (recommended)
