Who can play Laser skirmish?

Laser Skirmish is designed for all ages (kids, teenagers, and adults) and abilities to play.  Executive team-building groups, cadets, scouts, youth clubs, sports teams have all enjoyed Laser Skirmish. Fitness levels are not a major issue as everyone can play to a level that they find comfortable.   Considerations are given to people with physical and intellectual disabilities to ensure that they have the full laser skirmish experience also.  We have different sized guns/taggers to choose from.

Does your staff have experience with young people?

Yes. We believe in having fun but doing it safely. Our referees have experience in working with young people of all ages, abilities, and disabilities e.g OHSC, Scouts, Intellectually & physically disabled as well as being parents.  Most are big kids themselves even over 40++!!!   We usually have one referee per team (there are usually 2 teams) plus a Commanding Office (or C.O. for short). We increase staff numbers for larger groups. We ensure that our referees running youth events all have current Blue Cards and are fully trained.

Are there any hidden costs, such as having to buy extra ammo?

No! Your referee will load up your gun with enough lives to get you through your game. Laser Skirmish provides players with everything they need for the event, and unlike paintball, all the necessary ammunition is included in the price.

What happens if it is raining?

We play in all types of weather (rain or shine); however, we do recommend that you bring a towel or change of clothing with you. In fact, we have been told many people love it when it rains because it is more authentic. Our guns are water-resistant.

If it rains, we can provide waterproof ponchos. We will stop play if there is an electrical storm for safety reasons and wait until the storm passes over.

Foul Weather

Light rain or patchy weather is acceptable and does not require cancellation. But very heavy rain necessitates that we re-schedule. Laser Assault reserves the right to reschedule an activity due to adverse weather conditions. Should this occur we will contact you to transfer your booking. If you are unsure of the weather for your adventure and you haven't heard from us, please call us on (07)4126 3222 for confirmation either way. If you get voice mail and it does not indicate cancellation of the activity, then you can assume that we will be expecting you. Please understand that if you don't contact us and the activity does go ahead you will not be entitled to a refund or a transfer.

Do you get bruised?

Our guns emit infrared, just like your TV remote. So the beam of light is invisible and harmless. So there are no bruises from being hit. No pain, just a lot of fun.

What do I wear/bring?

Everyone must wear long trousers (such as jeans) past their ankles. Also, everyone must wear covered footwear. If you have hiking boots wear them, if not runners are okay. You should, of course, try to keep to camouflage or neutral tones, so that it's not too easy for your enemy to spot you! Adrenalin really gets going. You may wish to bring sun-cream in warm weather.

It's very important to remember to bring your Membership Forms, signed by the parent or guardian of each player. Unfortunately without them, players will not be able to take part. Also, best to bring water or other drinks (water especially in the warmer months), and food to nibble on - grab n go food (chips, lollies, fruit, etc.)

How do gaming guns work?

There is no paint, no mess, and no projectiles, so you can be sure that your team is playing in safety. Our weapons are formidable because they are made of metal so they look cool. Our small guns are highly maneuverable. With an effective range in excess of 150 meters, realistic digitized sounds, and multiple modes of fire this is the technology with attitude!

We have a selection of guns for use. The guns we use include Scorpions, Commando Carbines, Pulse rifles, and Morita Sniper Rifles. The size and weight of the weapon issued to you will depend on your age/size/fitness etc and will be evened up across the competing teams to make it balanced.

Physical Fitness

It is imperative that you disclose to Laser Assault any physical condition or illness that may limit or endanger yourself or your fellows whilst adventuring with us. Any information that is given in this regard will be treated with the utmost confidence. If you do not tell us, it is presumed that you are in good health and are of a level of fitness adequate for the booked activity.
