Can paintballs be reused?
All paintballs bought on the day must be consumed with in your session any paintballs left over must be either used or binned. Any spent paintballs cannot be reused in guns, as paintballs are water based and as soon they hit the floor they gather moisture and expand so therefore will not fit the barrel of the gun again and this also damages our equipment.  

Stag / Hen Parties:
Any questions about costumes or what you have planned please contact a member of the team to discuss this.
