Frequently Asked Questions

es! We welcome walk-on players at all Delta Force Paintball locations across Canada, including Toronto. While we do our best to merge individual players with existing groups, please follow these guidelines for the smoothest experience:

Quick Checklist for Walk-On Players

  • Check Daily Availability: Call our central booking office at 1-800-568-8909 before you leave. This ensures there are no private events or full-capacity sessions currently occupying the game zones.
  • Age Requirement: All participants must be at least 10 years old for standard paintball games at our Canadian centres.
  • Peak Times (Saturday & Sunday): Weekends are high-demand. Booked players receive priority; calling ahead helps you avoid waiting in Base Camp for the next rotation.

Why Pre-Booking is Better

While we love spontaneous players, most guests book in advance to:

  1. Guarantee Gear: We pre-arrange gear for players that have already booked and paid.
  2. Select Mission Times: Secure a specific start time for your preferred game zones.
  3. Speed Up Check-in: Get through the registration process and onto the field faster.

Pro-Tip: If you are a walk-on player, try to arrive at least 15 minutes before a scheduled session start time. This gives our marshals enough time to fit you into a group safety briefing so you do not miss the first mission of the day!

Yes! You are welcome to use your own paintball goggles, combat suits, and markers at our centres. However, please note that the use of any personal equipment is at the absolute discretion of the Centre Manager on the day. To ensure the safety of all players, any gear that does not meet our specific technical standards will not be permitted on the field.

Marker Requirements & Safety Inspections

To use your own marker, it must pass a mandatory inspection and meet the following criteria:

  • .50 Calibre Only: We exclusively use .50 calibre paintballs. Your marker must be compatible with this size; standard .68 calibre markers are strictly prohibited.

  • Chronograph Test: The manager will perform a test to ensure your marker is firing below 300 FPS (feet per second) to comply with site safety and insurance regulations.

  • Air Systems: We operate a strict “no customer-owned gas cylinders” policy. You may not bring your own tanks or bottles on-site. Our marshals will provide and attach Delta Force air bottles (DOT/TC stamped) to your marker, provided they are compatible.

  • Air Refills: Our marshals will refill the provided bottles to 3000 PSI after every “double game” (approximately every 30 minutes) to ensure you have plenty of gas.

Maintenance & Field Safety

  • Base Camp Policy: We operate a strict “no markers in Base Camp” policy to ensure the safety of non-playing guests.

  • The Gun Zone: When not in active play, your marker must be safely racked in our designated Gun Zone. You may perform any necessary maintenance in this area between missions.

  • Approved Paintballs: For health, safety, and environmental reasons, only paintballs issued by Delta Force on the day of your event may be used. External paintballs are strictly prohibited.

Why We Inspect Gear

We prioritise the safety of our community. If your personal gear is not approved by the Centre Manager, you will be required to use our high-quality rental equipment for the duration of the session.

Pro-Tip: If you are planning to bring your own marker, give us a quick shout at 1-800-568-8909 before your session. Our team can help confirm if your specific model is typically compatible with our .50 calibre air systems, saving you time during the morning check-in!

No. For safety and environmental reasons, only paintballs supplied by Delta Force Paintball on the day of your event are permitted for use at our centres. To maintain our high standards and protect our players, we enforce the following policies:

Why We Only Use Site-Issued Paintballs

  • Environmental Protection: Our centres are often located in pristine woodland settings. We are strictly committed to using only high-quality, fully biodegradable paintballs that are safe for the local Canadian ecosystem.

  • Impact Safety: We ensure our paintballs are stored in climate-controlled conditions so they remain “frangible” (meaning they break easily on impact). External paintballs can become brittle or dangerously hard if stored incorrectly, posing a significant safety risk to other players.

  • No “Bring Backs”: To maintain our safety guarantee, paintballs that have been taken off-site cannot be brought back for future use. Once paint leaves our controlled environment, we can no longer verify its quality, calibre, or safety.

Pro-Tip: If you have leftover paintballs at the end of your session, feel free to gift them to another player still on the field! Since paint cannot be brought back for your next visit, sharing the ammo is a great way to make a new friend in the Base Camp before you head home.
