North Vs South

North vs South
When the Northern Monkeys get to take on the Southern Fairies in the UK's biggest Paintballing battle, each calander year.
Warped’s North Vs South is the biggest game in the country, and being north vs south has big pulling power for bragging rights for the next year! Held at an army base that is not designed for paintball, the logistics and organisation that go into this game must be huge, with 1800 players and set over a vast army base, this is one game that always gets a good pull of players. The Mayhem Militia always has a strong following at this epic encounter and we had 37 players in attendance, with some great characters in the mix at a 3-day paintball festival, this was always going to be pretty special.
There was games on during the Friday and Saturday, and the big North Vs South game happening on the Sunday. Being a 3-day game really adds to the atmosphere of the event with a HUGE campsite! Everyone gets into the whole festival atmosphere, and the trade presence is excellent, with pretty much every major trader in attendance, and a fully stocked bar selling cold beer is always a great touch for the evenings.
On the Sunday, the game kicked off at 10am, and this time Hostile Intentions were generalling for the South and they were absolutely excellent, they were super organised and really had the south team getting on the right buses (yes, real buses that drop you off into live areas) at the right times. The game is so vast, without using the buses all you seem to end up doing is walking, so I think this is a perfect addition to the last couple of years of this event, well done Jim and Tim!
Getting shot in the arse by Stuart from NPF (playing for the North), which was worse than any pain a paintball could ever give me. Will I ever live it down?
We had some super intense gunfights, and with so many players on each team when you found a gunfight, boy was it immense. The only downsides for me this year was walking, if you miss a bus it’s a long walk, I think the bottle testing should be more obvious, and I didn’t like the chronographing system with the raffle tickets, I would have preferred to have just been chronoed as I was walking on the field.
All in all, a fantastic event that should be on every UK paintballer’s calender. Oh, and top things off the South won, which is normally a rarety! Get in!
Cannot wait for 2015!
Thank you very much to Jim, Tim and Matt for hosting this amazing event.

21/11/2014
Boy have we got a treat for you not only a limited editin gun but a Zombie contract killer Luxe, "the Luxe is the best gun i have ever shot" Danny Williams ex pro player and legend in English paintball. "Amazing no kick so blooody accuate people just die at my hands" Paul Cain London Tigers and paintballing globel trotting god! Ross Tesrain form "Mayhem Loved it best gun i have ever played with".
This really is a beautiful gun at £1250 its not for the faint hearted but if you play regually and love paintball it is great vaule for money its has to be the first time i have seen a group or old pro paintball players actaully fall in love with a paintablling gun. I hope to field test it myself soon if smart parts will loan me one as i loved my 2003 shocker which the luxe was born from and is a super charged version. I sit here now looking at the Luxe on our wall and think i really want to play paintball right now if only the wife was feeling generous i could be the proud owner.
New Toys at Mayhem

We have instock the New Silver Back Dye DAM, and what a peice of kit it is, only a handful (250) have been made worldwide they are very limited edition we are really lucky to get one instock instock. I played with a Dye DAM at our mag fed game a couple of weeks back and its like no other gun. You can shoot first strike and normal paintballs at the flick of a swtich flick between your loader and your Mags fill up your mags with first strike and shoot with deadly accuaracy at far far longer range.
This Christmas show your other half you truley love them and treat them to a Silverback, can a lame penguin take out a man at 100 yards with deadly accuracy hell no he needs a DAM this christmas.

Drummond Money Coutts - Filming at Mayhem
Earlier this year, the magician DMC as part of his new series 'Beyond Magic' filmed a number of tricks including the massively impressive recreation of Jasper Maskelyne's 'Phantom Army' trick, here at Mayhem Paintball. The new series is being shown on National Geographic at 8pm, and the tricks filmed at Mayhem will be shown on the 5th episode.
Drummond's tricks were absolutely amazing, and I still to this day have no idea how he did them! He is also a really great guy, very funny and definitely has a great control of magic!!! Expect to see a lot more from him. Here's the man himself (centre), with our guys Chris (left) and Dave (right), in front of one of our T55 tanks.
