Black Ops Paintball & Airsoft was established in 2012 by combat veterans as a ten-acre park with a speedball field and one small wood-ball field. Black Ops Paintball & Airsoft began in Fayetteville, just off 295 and about ten minutes from Fort Bragg.
It is now a four-hundred-acre, safe, unique, and exciting experience for all skill levels. Black Ops continuously adds playing arenas to create an exciting and dynamic field environment. They specialize in first-time experiences and scenario events.
The Black Ops Paintball crew opened a second location in Lacey, WA, right outside Joint Base Lewis McChord in 2018, and has a pro shop in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Paintball is a strategic team sport where players use compressed air or C02 powered markers to shoot gelatin capsules filled with water-soluble dye at opponents. Protective gear is essential for safety, which includes the mask, and often protective clothing, gloves, and padding
Zombies tap into deep-seated human fears such as disease, lack of control, societal collapse, providing a vehicle for exploring anxieties about the unknown, death, and human nature. Zombie narratives offer a primal fight or flight thrill, providing a sense of excitement and exhilaration in extreme situations.
The Zombies are coming! Defend yourself! The Zombie Hayride and Haunted House at Black Ops Paintball and Airsoft is the perfect way to ring in the spooky season.
