Where can I play?
Master Blasters Paintball field, located in Chesapeake.

Can I play by myself?
Do I need a reservation? The Paintball Park is open every Saturday and Sunday for open play. You can come by yourself or you can  bring a couple of friends to have fun too! If you're going to bring ten or more friends, we DO recommend that you make a reservation. This way we can assure that we have plenty of equipment on hand.

How do I make a reservation?
You can call (757) 548-2481 any time Monday thru Friday between the hours of Noon to 7:00 pm.

How old do you have to be to play paintball?
The age limit to play is ten (10) years old without adult supervision.

Is this a safe sport?
Yes. An independent insurance company did a recent study that has shown that more people are injured during a one year period while playing Golf, Tennis and even Bowling than are injured while playing Paintball.

Does it hurt to get hit by a paintball?
At Master Blasters field we require that all paintball markers be set (chronographed) at no higher than 280 feet per second. At this speed the feeling is very similar to being snapped by a rubber band.  There is also no shooting another player within 10 feet.  These rules are strictly enforced by out refs.

Is it legal to shoot my paintball marker behind my house? You must check with your local law enforcement for accurate regulations.

Where can I get my tank filled/ charged?
You can purchase CO2 or pressurized air fills at any local Master Blasters shop or the Field.

How much CO2 do I have left?
Unfortunately, the answer to that question isn't very simple. CO2 is measured by weight, not pressure. Every CO2 tank weighs different than the next. Without knowing the exact weight of your CO2 tank completely empty we can't do the math to figure out what you need. When you come to get your tank filled, please DO NOT discharge your tank! Bring it in with whatever is left. This will considerably speed the filling process.

Is it good to buy paintballs online or at a large sporting goods store?
We do not recommend purchasing paintballs anywhere but Master Blasters.  Master Blasters gets their paintballs FACTORY DIRECT! This is the FRESHEST you can buy. The fresher the paint, the better it shoots! Paintballs are perishable and have a limited shelf life. The older paintballs are less round and  become more likely to break inside your paintball marker before they even leave the barrel. Lopsided paintballs also curve thru the air when shot rather than going straight to your target!

How much do paintballs cost and why are some so expensive?
Master Blasters has paintballs starting from $10.99 for a bag of 500 rounds to $79.99 for a case of the best tournament grade paint. The reason behind the wide range of prices is simply the quality of the product. The more expensive paintballs are rounder, break more consistently and mark better.

Do you match Internet prices?
Although Master Blasters strives to be competitive in our pricing we can't match Internet pricing. Products sold on the Internet can come in many forms. They can be defective or remanufactured, and most are not guaranteed by the seller. Master Blasters offer the following advantages over shopping on the Internet. We offer a FREE lifetime labor warranty on all new paintball markers bought at Master Blasters.  Also we offer professional installation of any part or upgrade for FREE if the part and the marker were both purchased from Master Blasters.  Lastly and most importantly we offer a courteous, professional service and advice with every visit. With these advantages and our numerous convenient locations you can see where your best value lies.

How do I stop my goggles from fogging up when I play?
While there is no way to stop your goggles from fogging 100% of the time there are three options that offer differing levels of success.

Option 1. Master Blasters sells Anti Fog spray. This is to be used with single pane lenses only (never use it on thermal lenses). Thoroughly clean and dry your lens. Spray three quick sprays of the anti fog spray on the inside of your lens. Allow the spray to remain on the lens for 60 seconds. With a clean dry cloth gently wipe the inside of the lens until there is a slight haze on the lens that you can see thru. This haze is the silicone in the spray adhering to the lens. This will prevent the fogging. If you wipe the lens too thoroughly you will remove the anti fog spray you just applied.

Option 2. Upgrade to a thermal lens for your goggles. These are available at all Master Blasters shops. The thermal lens works just like the thermal windows in your house, there a two lenses that trap a neutral layer of air between them that helps prevent fogging.

Option 3 is available for the JT Spectra series of goggles and is called the Vortex Fan. This fan mounts under the visor of your goggles and either blows cool air down into the goggles, or if you are a contact lens wearer you can reverse the fan and it will suck the hot most air out of the goggles.

Does Master Blasters sell marker packages?
Yes, Master Blasters does have packages available. These packages contain everything the new player would need to get started.

Is CO2 the only propellant (gas) that can be used for Paintball play?
No, CO2 is the most common form of propellant used, however Compressed Nitrogen is becoming more and more popular with experienced players.

What is Nitrogen and why should I switch?
Nitrogen in its simplest form is the air that you are breathing. If you remove the oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air you are left with Nitrogen. While CO2 is a liquid that expands into a gaseous state at rates that vary with ambient temperature, Nitrogen is a stable inert gas that is not affected by temperature. It provides a much more consistent velocity from shot to shot which allows you to maintain the same trajectory from shot to shot thereby increasing the accuracy of your shots. The other added benefit to using Nitrogen over CO2 is that it is a much cleaner which means less wear and tear on your marker.

Are longer barrels more accurate?
Although this theory is correct when using a real firearm it in not correct in relation to paintball markers. After extensive testing by different manufactures in the paintball industry it was determined that the optimal length for a paintball barrel is between 12" – 14".

How do I clean my Paintball marker?
It is not recommended that you clean your marker without being shown the correct way. While every marker requires cleaning they each have certain things that must be, and more importantly MUST NOT be done to them. One of the benefits of shopping with Master Blasters is that every customer is shown at the time of purchase how to clean and maintain their particular marker. This service is provided free of charge. If you have purchased your marker elsewhere, on the Internet for instance, you can bring it to any Master Blasters and for a modest fee we can show you how to properly care for your marker.

How do I oil my Paintball marker?
Once again our advice is not to do anything until you learn the right way. While some markers require liberal amounts of oil to operate properly, others can be ruined by any oil at all getting into the wrong places. Once again one of the benefits of shopping with Master Blasters is that every customer is shown at the time of purchase how to clean and maintain their particular marker. 

Does Master Blasters buy used guns?
We do from time to time. We have our certified air smiths go over the gun thoroughly, if it meets with our standards we may buy it and put it up for sale. There is very little market for used paintball markers, maybe 1 in 300 of our customers will come in looking for used equipment.  The normal selling price is nearly half of what it sold for new.

Can you give me a discount?
Master Blasters offer discounts to our sponsored teams, Church youth groups and birthday parties. We do offer Package Savings and Volume discounts on some purchases. Please ask your local pro shop manager for details
