Low Impact Paintball | Recommended Ages 10-13
Our 50 caliber Low Impact Paintball Equipment is specially crafted with players in mind aged 10 to 13. These 50 caliber GOG Enmey paintball markers are smaller and lighter than the traditional 68 caliber version and are perfect for participants who want to dive into the action without the worries of being hit by a Traditional paintball. A 50 caliber paintball is designed to be half the size, and deliver 1/3 of the punch of a Traditional 68 caliber paintball. Parents can rest assured that their children will have a blast while learning essential teamwork and strategic skills in a controlled and secure environment. Unleash the excitement and create lasting memories with our Low Impact Equipment! To ensure a safe and exhilarating experience on the field our Low Impact games are separate from the Traditional paintball games. For this reason, we recommend that groups reserving Low Impact be large enough to play games amongst themselves. Low Impact Equipment is both limited, and in high demand, so be sure to make a reservation. Our Low Impact equipment shoots a 0.50 caliber paintball at 250 feet per second and has an effective range of about 100 feet.
Here is the math comparing 68 and 50 caliber paintballs
A Traditional .68 Caliber paintball weighs in at 3.2 Grams and travels at 280 Feet Per Second. The formula for calculating impact energy is as follows. Energy = 1/2 Mass * Velocity Squared. Using this formula, we are able to calculate that the Traditional paintball impacts a player with 11.65 Joules of energy. Our all new Low Impact .50 Caliber paintball weighs in at only 1.3 grams (Nearly 60% lighter than a Traditional paintball) and travels at a slower 250 Feet Per Second. Using the same formula as before, we can calculate that the all new Low Impact paintball option delivers only 3.77 Joules of energy. That is a 68% reduction in impact, making Low Impact paintball the perfect choice for younger players or those who may be hesitant to try Traditional paintball.
For those of you who may not have a degree in physics, you may be wondering how the impact rating of Low Impact paintball compares to other more traditional sports. The following graph shows the impact rating that a player may experience while playing baseball if they were hit by a pitch while at bat. Using pitching speed data sampled from baseball players ages 8 to 18, the weight of a baseball being 148.84 grams, and the same formula from above, we are able to calculate the following impact ratings.
