Within the vast, sandy landscape lies a huge stone pyramid. Inside is an ancient idol, the holy grail for treasure hunters and archaeologists alike. But like all ancient artifacts, they are also precious and valuable to those who would use their power for evil. Can you capture the artifacts before they fall into the wrong hands? Get into the tomb, secure the artifact and use the giant Sphinx as cover to escape with the idol.
In 2026, the standard for professional paintball has been officially raised. We are thrilled to announce that the revolutionary Planet Eclipse Emek 100 (.50 Caliber) marker upgrade is now available at all Delta Force Paintball locations across Australia.
This isn’t just an upgrade; it is a tactical evolution designed to redefine accuracy, reliability, and sheer fun on the battlefield.
For years, Delta Force has set the benchmark for movie-quality game zones and safety. Now, we are elevating the feeling of the game. The Emek is legendary in the paintball world for its mechanical precision, and by introducing the .50 caliber variant, we have created the perfect balance of performance and accessibility.
The Emek’s reputation is built on its consistent, air-efficient shot. The lighter .50 caliber paintball travels faster and flatter than the traditional .68 caliber, allowing for significantly tighter shot groups at longer distances. When you squeeze the trigger, you can trust that the paint will land exactly where your sights are set. Furthermore, the lighter impact means less messy "splat" on your goggles, maintaining crystal-clear vision throughout intense firefights.
There is nothing worse than your marker failing during a crucial push on the Tomb Raider pyramid. The Emek is famed for its extreme durability. In extensive testing at our Appin and Helensburgh locations, these markers outperformed standard rental equipment even in the muddiest conditions. They are air-efficient, jam-resistant, and built to withstand a full day of tactical action in a rainforest valley.
Thanks to the mechanical pneumatic operation (derived from professional tournament markers), the Emek offers an exceptionally smooth firing cycle. The heavy "kick" of traditional mechanical markers is gone, replaced by a smooth, controllable pulse. This allows you to stay on target while firing rapidly, making it perfect for suppressing opponents or moving dynamically through game zones.
While the seasoned paintball veteran will appreciate the Emek's professional specs, it is also a fantastic choice for first-time players. The .50 caliber impact is noticeably lighter than the .68 caliber alternative, allowing younger players (12+), families, and corporate groups to focus entirely on the game strategy, rather than the impact.
Ready to level up? Ask our staff about the Emek Marker Upgrade when you arrive on game day to secure the Planet Eclipse Emek 100 .50 Cal for your entire session. These advanced markers are available in limited quantities per location and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend arriving early to snag your tactical advantage.
Your Emek upgrade also includes:

Move over, CrossFit. There’s a new way to hit your fitness goals, and it doesn't involve staring at a gym wall.
When most people think of paintball, they picture the tactical gear and the thrill of the chase. But in 2026, paintball has evolved into a legitimate holistic workout. At Delta Force Paintball, we’ve traded the bruises for high-tech combat suits and padded protection, leaving you with nothing but pure adrenaline.
If you’re looking for an active day out that beats the treadmill, here are seven reasons why paintball is actually good for you:
Paintball is the ultimate HIIT workout. Whether you’re sprinting between bunkers or making a dash for the flag, your heart rate will be in the "burn zone" before the first smoke grenade clears. It’s a cardio blast that improves endurance without the monotony of a jog.
Think of paintball as "Extreme Chess." It’s not just about who’s fastest; it’s about strategy, communication, and reading your opponent’s next move. Navigating our movie-set game zones requires sharp mental focus and quick problem-solving under pressure—keeping your "brain cogs" turning.
Exercise releases endorphins, but competitive exercise adds a layer of dopamine that a solo gym session can’t match. Combining physical exertion with the "win" of a successful mission triggers a massive release of happy hormones, leaving you feeling elevated long after the day is over.
Want functional gains? Try army-crawling through a rainforest valley or holding a squat behind a tombstone. Paintball targets your core, glutes, and quads through natural, explosive movements. It’s full-body conditioning disguised as a Hollywood action movie.
In a world dominated by screens, paintball offers a rare opportunity to completely disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with humans. Spending the day running around iconic props with your mates is the perfect antidote to "zoom fatigue." It’s about being present in the moment with the people you love (and occasionally shooting at the ones you love a little less).
There is something deeply therapeutic about the "splat." Letting off steam in a controlled, safe, and high-energy environment is a fantastic way to vent the stresses of the work week. It’s physical catharsis at its finest.
Whether it's a corporate team-building day or a 13th birthday party, paintball builds bonds. You learn to trust your teammates, cover their backs, and lead a squad to victory. Those social bonds are a key pillar of long-term mental health and happiness.
Ready to trade the gym for the jungle? At Delta Force Paintball Australia, you can play all day. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just need a weekend "reboot," our world-class facilities—are ready for you.
