Tropic Thunder

You and your friends are movie stars, the very best actors in the business (well, that’s what you think)! After being sent to Southeast Asia to make a Vietnam War film, you are dropped into the middle of the jungle and left to fend for yourselves. This may look like a movie-set but the dangers are real. Will you safely escape the perils of the jungle, or will you be captured by the local-warring villagers?

Game Zone

New South Wales, it’s time to suit up! After much anticipation, Delta Force Paintball is thrilled to announce that MiniBall is officially live at our premier NSW locations.

For years, younger fans have watched from the sidelines as the "big kids" took to the field. Now, players as young as 8 years old can dive into the action at our Sydney (Appin) and Newcastle centres.

What is MiniBall?

MiniBall is a specially designed, low-impact version of paintball created specifically for the next generation of warriors (ages 8–11). It removes the "sting" while keeping all the strategy, teamwork, and adrenaline.

The Perfect Party Solution

Whether you’re planning an 8th, 9th, or 10th birthday party or a school holiday outing, MiniBall offers a structured, 2-hour session (typically 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm) that is fully supervised by our professional marshalling staff. Your group will play exclusively with their peers in movie-set game zones like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.

Ready to Enlist?

Because MiniBall uses specialized, lightweight equipment, sets are limited at each location and pre-booking is essential.

Booking Info: To check live availability or to secure your date, contact our National Booking Office at 1300 850 744.

Pro-Tip: As Delta Force does not offer onsite catering or pizza lunches, feel free to bring your own snacks and birthday cake to enjoy in our base camp after the session!

  • If you thought you saw a huge military helicopter moving through the Sydney streets on the Monday morning then don't fret, it was real! The UH-60 Black Hawk made itself famous during operations in Iraq and subsequent conflict zones and has been used by 25 nations, including Australia, as part of their military for multi-mission support. However, it's not often you see one cruising through the northern suburbs of our nations biggest city! Nor is it often you see one gracefully travelling over the Sydney Harbour Bridge before continuing southwards to its pride of place at the Delta Force Paintball facility at Appin. Black-Hawk-Sydney-Bridge Not surprisingly, the convoy, with it's valuable cargo sitting high on its throne, turned heads and was a magnet for photos from the stunned public not expecting to see a huge piece of military hardware up close and personal that morning. If the faces on those seeing the massive Black Hawk pass by was anything to go on, this was going to be one seriously popular game zone piece for the Sydney paintballing scene and the Australia Day long weekend proved that to be true. The Black Hawk Helicopter is the 2nd in a planned air invasion of such hardware for all the Delta Force Paintball centres in Australia. Weighing in at just over 2 tonnes, 17 metres in length and a rotor span of 16 metres, Delta Force Paintball is proud of the world's only full scale Black Hawk helicopters that they designed and built for the specific purposes adding to the amazing zones that excite paintball players. It gives players the very best of paintballing experiences in the country bar none. And this is no ornament either. Just like its Australian Army brothers, this chopper will see action every week of its life as part of the amazing Tropic Thunder game zone at the Delta Force Paintball Appin centre as part of a huge refurbishment. Complementing the big army helicopter and existing POW camp on this game zone are also two new tanks, all of which now add a depth to the game play every player will love. TropicThunder-Black-Hawk The London After The Apocalypse game zone wasn't forgotten either with the double decker bus receiving a new paint job and both the bus and field getting fitted out with new genuine looking signage to make the whole experience more surreal. But wait, there's more. The London zone also got a new building added, Big Ben complete with clocks which gives more cover for the players attacking the upper and lower decks of the bus. The other scenarios all got maintenance and repainting where necessary and the basecamp area was given some special attention as well. Tons of new gravel has been laid down, new tables built, and two big sun-proof and waterproof shade sails erected for the players' and visitors' benefit. Delta Force Appin has never looked so good or had the facilities and gameplay it does now, and we can proudly and confidently claim to again be the best paintballing centre in the Sydney region. Delta Force Paintball is the world's largest paintball company and the leader in this growing sports and recreation industry. https://www.paintballing.com.au/black-hawk-lands-appin-part-huge-refurbishmentAnd no wonder with commitment like this to their customers (over 100,000 of which have played at the Delta Force Appin centre since 2010 alone). To experience the difference between the best in the business and the other less polished operators out there, book a session of paintball at Delta Force Paintball Sydney at their Appin location and see and enjoy all the movie quality game zones for yourself.

  • Arm yourself with awareness and check out Delta Force’s top tips for playing safely in the summer. With summer now well and truly upon us here in Australia, it’s the perfect time to get outside and active in the uniquely adrenalizing Delta Force style! As always, customer safety remains our number one priority, and while the excitement of the sun does provide the perfect setting for a day’s paintball, it does also bring with it some important safety measures we would advise players to observe to ensure they’re properly prepared for the hot conditions. With that in mind, we present Delta Force’s top tips for turning up the heat: 1. Dress for the weather. With the weather this hot, it’s so important to wear minimal, lightweight clothing for combat like shorts and t-shirts. You’ll still be well protected by our signature body armour or overalls, provided onsite, but too many layers will trap the heat and weigh you down! 2. Eat a warrior’s breakfast. Fuelling your body for the active day ahead will go such a long way in giving you the battle ready energy you need for your paintball experience. Please make sure you eat well before coming! 3. Stay hydrated. It is so crucial you stay hydrated throughout your day when running around in the summer heat. Our staff recommend the use of camelbacks or hydration packs to keep on your person during the session, otherwise cold drinks can be bought onsite if you forget to bring your own. 4. Stay informed. Keep an eye on how the weather’s looking for your paintball adventure – booking the morning session is always a good idea if you want to avoid the peak heat of the day! And of course, our expert staff and marshals will always be onsite to make sure you have the smoothest, most enjoyable day possible. Sun’s out, guns out – see you in the field!
