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)
What This Means for Players
Less Ouch, More Action: The lighter rounds mean significantly less bruising and discomfort. This makes the game more inclusive for families, corporate groups, and younger players.Increased Ammo Capacity: Because the rounds are smaller, players can carry more paint onto the field, allowing for longer rallies and more "suppressive fire" opportunities.Better Equipment Performance: The new .50 cal markers are lighter and more maneuverable, reducing player fatigue during those intense full-day sessions.Eco-Friendly Precision: As always, the paint remains 100% biodegradable and non-toxic, ensuring the Australian bush stays as pristine as we found it.
"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
Ready to Enlist? 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.

A bucks day he’ll never forget.
It’s almost your mate’s special day.
He’s gonna tie the knot soon.
And you’re the man who is meant to plan the best send off possible.
What better way to send your stag off than to dress him up and send him out with a paintball gun and a few of his best mates?
Paintball is the perfect activity to get the boys geared up for a night of dubious choices and some stories you’d rather forget.
Here’s how a day at Delta Force Paintball looks for a bucks party.
You can book by calling one of our event coordinators at any time of the day. They are available 24/7 and will help you plan everything to give your stag the best send off possible.
On the day you’ll arrive and get kitted up by our marshals. Here’s the chance to get you stag all dressed up in one of our Onesies, or you could all wear your own costumes. We recommend you all buy a group pack (you don’t want to run out of paintballs when the stag is on the loose!). Don’t forget to let the marshals know who the guest of honour is; they’ll give him some special treatment!
From here you’ll have a safety briefing, and then it’s time for battle!
Of course you’ll have breaks in between games, where you can rehydrate (sorry, no alcohol), and refuel for the next match. You can order pizzas for the group for lunch, or bring your own food. We recommend bringing plenty of water; you don’t want the stag getting dehydrated!
Your action packed day will see your squad battle it out in pyramids, black hawk helicopters and sniper towers, and will be a day the stag will never forget.
