As one of the people that has a hand in this business we seriously contemplated using real paintballs. Many factors went into our decision to use the reballs. The floor is concrete which is a huge no-no for paint which was our biggest concern, the field will be impressive, cars, houses, even a hotel, urban warfare at its best. I will most likely be updating this thread as I am more active on here than SRWNY. Questions can be asked in this thread or via PM and I will adress them swiftly. Edit: No, Tsunami is done with. ---

I can understand why reusable paintballs will be used, but what is their cost? how do they fire compared to the real thing? I would try and pursue getting the airsoft crew in there. Airsoft is getting more and more popular and the rounds wont screw up your field. I personally enjoy airsoft more then paintball but I cant find anywhere to play. Have you posted your field up at [wnyal.com](http://wnyal.com) yet? ---

We are just starting to break the news. They fire exactly the same as real paintballs. We will be providing the reballs so it will essentially be shoot as much as you want. Airsoft will be huge I think. We are working out getting refs so if your intrested let me know and I can get you details of perks for refs. ---

Wouldn’t 10,000 reballs covering the floor be a little dangerous? And I wonder how long it would take to gather them all up… ---

there is a wheel thing that picks them up. You walk with it and they stick to this wheel and the wheel dumps them into a basket that is connected to the entire contraption. Hard to explain, but basically it wouldnt take long at all. > [@Clean Baldy](#): > > Wouldn’t 10,000 reballs covering the floor be a little dangerous? > > And I wonder how long it would take to gather them all up… ---

Exactly similar to a golfball retriever you see at drivng ranges and such. The reballs are going to much safer than a paint covered concrete floor. ---

anyone that has ever been to tsunami knows how disgusting paint gets when you have the field open for a while, and those same people would also know that 90% of the time if someone gets hit and they dont want to leave they can just wipe it anyway. I say :tup: to reballs, especially if its all you can shoot for a set fee If the field is clean enough and interesting I could see you attracting people who wouldnt set foot in a traditional paint covered carpet floor environment because it grosses them out ---
