A giant fortress dominates a clearing in the jungle, and it’s crawling with enemy forces. Your mission is to carry out a “Halo-Insertion”. That’s SAS-talk for dropping one of your team members in with an explosive device to take-out the enemy base. This highly skilled move requires perfect execution otherwise you and your team will be in grave danger. Are you brave enough to accept the mission?
Delta Force Paintball Australia, the country’s leader in high-octane skirmish action, has officially announced a nationwide transition from traditional .68 caliber paintballs to the more advanced .50 caliber "Low Impact" technology.
This strategic move is designed to enhance the player experience across all skill levels, making the sport more accessible, tactical, and—most importantly—fun.
Why the Change? The Science of "Low Impact"
For years, the .68 caliber ball has been the industry standard, but it often came with a "sting" that intimidated newer players. By switching to .50 caliber, Delta Force is prioritizing a smoother game without sacrificing the thrill of the hunt.
| Feature | .68 Caliber (Old) | .50 Caliber (New) |
| Impact Energy | Higher (approx. 12-13 Joules) | Lower (approx. 5 Joules) |
| Weight | Heavier | 50% Lighter |
| Pain Level | Significant "Sting" | 60% Reduction in felt impact |
| Accuracy | Standard | High (Less drag/better flight) |
"Our goal has always been to provide the most immersive paintball experience in the world. By moving to .50 caliber, we’re removing the 'fear factor' for beginners while giving our seasoned vets a more precise, tactical tool to dominate the map." — Delta Force Operations Team
The rollout is currently live across all Australian centers. Whether you’re defending the Tomb Raider pyramid or storming the Black Hawk Down extraction point, the new .50 cal era is here to stay.

The weekend of the 26th January heralds the annual ritual of being Australian, and all things Aussie. From the red dust of the outback to the Blue Mountains, this is a land of amazing colour mixtures and mixed cultures. https://paintballing.com.au/let-inner-aussie-australia-day-delta-force-paintballDelta Force Paintball Australia is proud to be Australian and operated by Australians and this year we are showing our patriotism at our paintball centres with some cool 'Aussie' coloured paintballs to help you celebrate our great nation, all it's achievements, and simply what it means to be an Australian. The green and gold paintballs have been specially made for us and the first shipment has arrived just in time for the Australia Day weekend celebrations.
So, instead of spending the day watching tennis or cricket, or throwing perfectly good prawns at fish who don't want to be caught, let the stubby cooler wait until dinner time and round up the troops for an Australia Day weekend of adrenaline-fuelled action playing paintball on the best fields in the country with Delta Force Paintball!
Captain Jarrod Croker led the whole first grade squad through a series of immersive game zone scenarios including some close combat on Speedball, dodging through the pyramid on Tomb Raider, Zombies v Humans on Resident Evil and finishing with a spirited free-for-all on Prison Break. The competitive nature shone through with these high-performance athletes and each scenario was tackled with vigour and good fun.
Birthday boys Blake Austin and Jack Wighton managed to escape any major targeting while Sia Soliola wore the Winnie the Poo Onesie all day with grace and poise.
Coach Ricky Stuart said “The boys have absolutely loved it. They have been talking about it all week and were really looking forward to it”
Delta Force Paintball has long been the celebrity choice of adventure sports with the Raiders joining the likes of Usain Bolt, Melbourne Storm, NZ Warriors, Parramatta Eels and the Australian Men’s Rugby Sevens Squad amongst many others who have enjoyed the Delta Force difference.
