About Us
From the single shot splatmaster pistol using a 12 gram CO2 for power and its 10 shot tubes of paintballs, while only wearing goggles, the sport of paintball arrived in Lancaster County. Ambush has grown from just a dirt farm lane leading you back to our woods and fields to what it is today.
As players traveled to play paintball at Ambush, they've seen the game progress. In the mid 1980's, pump pistols and pump rifles would now start to change the game. The accuracy would improve that longer shot, and the 12 gram CO2 would slowly be replaced with a 7oz, 9oz or 12oz CO2 bottle. You could now shoot hundreds of paintballs before refilling your air. What a change in the game! It didn't take the paintball industry long to see that paintball was expanding all over the world. Equipment sales rocketed and technology once again brings paintball guns to another level. The splatmaster pistol and the pump action guns at this point are up against a semi-auto rifle. Built like a tank, heavy and bulky and powered by a 20oz CO2 tank, you could now shoot 400 to 500 paintballs in a single game. A new level of play has begun at Ambush Paintball. Splatmaster pistols and pump action rifles would soon be stored away as the semi-automatic rifles took the game to yet another level. With all kinds of upgrades for the guns and longer barrels, allowed the sport of paintball to continue to grow. Technology makes guns lighter, faster, even in all different colors and shapes.
