If you’re 13+ and want an intense, high-energy experience, .68 caliber is the way to go.


Why .50 Caliber is Perfect for Beginners & Kids

If you’re introducing someone to paintball, .50 caliber is a fantastic choice. It’s:

🔹 Lower Impact – Less sting, making it ideal for kids ages 10-12.
🔹 Better for Close Quarters – Safer and more fun for games like our Battlefield scenario.
