Hello Airsofters I’m Nehemiah Varnell and I’m going to be talking about Insane Paintball/Airsoft (1833 McFarland Avenue, Rossville, GA 30741). So I‘ve only played at Insane Paintball/Airsoft twice. Once on January 15th, 2022 and that was at their indoor airsoft field and take it with a grain of salt because that was my first time playing airsoft, but it was epic. I absolutely loved the design of everything, even the entrance room and the briefing room. The waiting was also cool because you could see gameplay while you waited. I loved it. Also the map was a nice touch. But I do not like the new field.
Alright so take this with a grain of salt because I’ve only been there once but currently their airsoft field sucks. Their paintball field looks pretty cool except for one but I’ll touch on that later. I also like the touch of the gellyball and nerf field. But onto their airsoft field. But onto their airsoft field, it was more of an afterthought I think. Because they already had stuff for it because it is so poorly made. I mean for the center they just put a circle of cover and a well and there is no cover at all at the spawn points. The only bits of cover are some barrels and a wall then some spread out bits of cover. And I like this in the sense that it encourages movement but this means the team on the hill has no cover and has to rush down the hill to cover which could cause injuries, but I don’t know because I was never on that team. But of course the trees also provide a minimal amount of cover.
Alright now I’m going to move onto safety. With 3 of their fields there is no safety. Starting with their Hyperball field. This field has no net so that means paintball can hit the cars pulling in to play at the field. Luckily there is a net around the tables, gellyball and nerf field, and Xball field. But there is just yellow tape to mark the airsoft field, but it doesn’t go all the way around so the first game I played I actually went past the other teams spawn and onto the nearby paintball field in the woods. But I get it, nets are expensive and hard to put up but they will need them in the future. But there is also another thing I want to bring up, the paintball field looks like an airsoft field and because the road on the airsoft field goes into the paintball field it is very confusing. So I think they should combine that field and the airsoft field into one big field. But back to safety, because it is an outdoor field there is brush and roots so you need to clear them. So the Insane staff cleared the brush off the paintball field but not the airsoft field. So this means that it is hard to get kills, hard to move up, and easy to get hurt.
I also want to bring up their staff and their rental equipment. Their staff looks rough but they are amazing. They answer questions they’ll let go back on the field if you forgot stuff (which happened frequently) and they run the games very well. But the rental equipment is terrible, the masks look very rough but they still work fine but the guns, the guns look terrible. The barrel covers look homemade, the stocks on most of them are missing, and they have mags with duct tape and sometimes mismatched mags. But the mags are fine, most rental guns are like that. But the stocks are what I’m mostly talking about. Because I ran out of BBs in my gun so I borrowed one of my friend’s rental guns and rushed with it but when I put it up to my shoulder, there was just a buffer tube and no stock. But at least they feel okay enough when it comes to quality. But also I just want to mention that one gun I think is shooting too high because if you get shot by it across the map you’ll still have a welt. But I think someone just turned up the FPS and maybe forgot to turn it down or something or something else to do with HPA.
But overall I think the field has potential and I might give it another chance but as of February 11th, 2023 it was not the best it could be. But I hope Insane Paintball/Airsoft sees this and maybe listens to it. But I will say their store looks pretty cool so you should check it out if you like airsoft (6853 Lee Highway, Chattanooga, TN 37421). But I like Insane but could be better so I hope you weren’t offended by this but anyway goodbye.
