Maritime Milsim Podcast

This week we get way off topic, originally we planned to talk about different kinds of paintball videos we enjoy watching, and what we like about them. But instead we got into a proper discussion about who we think should be ultimately responsible for "growing the sport" in paintball. Love to hear what you think!

This week on The Maritime Paintball Podcast, we’re joined by Malcolm from WC-Marker.com — one of the go-to names for new and used paintball markers.

In this episode, we handed the mic to you — our listeners — and asked for your most unpopular opinions about paintball. And let’s just say... you didn’t hold back. Things got a little heated (in the best way) as we broke down some bold takes, including the claim that using First Strike Rounds means you're not a "real" paintballer, and the argument that paintball as a whole has gotten too "soft." Whether you agree or not, this episode is packed with strong opinions, honest debates, and plenty of laughs. All in good fun — all for the love of the game. 🎧 Listen now for insight, inspiration, and a deep dive into the competitive paintball scene! 🔹 Join our Discord: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/DQNJCn4zjT⁠⁠ 🔹 Support us on Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/Maritimepaintballpodcast⁠⁠ 🔹Look good on and off the field: ⁠https://ntensitycustoms.com/⁠ 🔹 Save 15% on CWENCH Hydration with code MARITIMEPAINTBALLPODCAST at ⁠⁠www.cwenchhydration.ca⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠www.cwenchhydration.com

We meant to talk about your pre-game rituals — and we definitely got there — but this episode took some fun and meaningful detours along the way. First, we shared our excitement about hitting the road with “Norm” the trailer and everything Tom had to tackle to get it road-ready. Then the conversation took a deeper turn as we opened up about mental health in the paintball community, the importance of supporting each other, and why it's time to break the stigma both on and off the field. This one’s got road trip vibes, game-day prep, and some real talk that every player should hear. 🎧 Listen now for insight, inspiration, and a deep dive into the competitive paintball scene! 🔹 Join our Discord: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/DQNJCn4zjT⁠⁠ 🔹 Support us on Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/Maritimepaintballpodcast⁠⁠ 🔹Look good on and off the field: ⁠https://ntensitycustoms.com/⁠ 🔹 Save 15% on CWENCH Hydration with code MARITIMEPAINTBALLPODCAST at ⁠⁠www.cwenchhydration.ca⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠www.cwenchhydration.com

In this episode, we sit down with JJ Roth from Miami Effect, fresh off the Tampa Bay Open! JJ shares his incredible journey from picking up a paintball gun at 32 to going pro in just two years. We dive into what it takes to compete at the highest level, the challenges of entering tournament paintball later in life, and his decision to come out of retirement to help rebuild Miami Effect alongside Chris Lasoya. JJ also drops some must-hear advice for players looking to improve, including why you should focus on mastering one or two key skills instead of trying to be great at everything. He shares how he became one of the best back players by leaning into his strengths and building confidence on the field. Plus, we’re excited to announce our newest partnership with Ntensity Customs, a Canadian leader in custom sportswear.

Delta Force Paintball is back… but under a new name: Optimum Paintball. We break down their greasy sales tactics and the misleading way they push "paintball tickets" onto unsuspecting parents.

This week, we put the new HS round to the test—a shaped projectile aiming to be a cheaper alternative to First Strike Rounds. While the price is tempting, does the drop in accuracy make it a dealbreaker? We break it down. Next, we take a look at Umarex’s latest magfed marker, the T4 TC. This .68 caliber AR-style marker could be a strong entry-level competitor to the Tippmann TMC. Could this be the next big thing in magfed paintball? We also introduce a brand-new segment: "Brad, Tell Me a Story." This week, Brad takes us through the history of the Automag, but naturally, things spiral into a deep dive on Tac-One, Spec Ops Paintball, the Longbow marker, TechPb, and Borgtech.
