Velocity Paintball

Great customer service as well as their prices and quality of paintball gear they sell! Bought my spire 260 camo on sale for 20% off! My buddy also is getting his tank hydrod which is only $ 20 and it’s a great price. One of his two guns needed some work done to all of the O-​rings and at a great price the work will be done professionally and fast. Recommended to everyone and anyone looking into paintball or already has paintball gear!

Good store lots of selection.

This is the second time I go to this store!
First of all, prices are good. Many of us shop online to get a better deal. However, all the items that I have been looking at online are priced exactly the same here. Why wait for shipping or even pay for shipping when u can go and pick it up locally for the same price. You get to see feel and see the quality of the product.
They also do repairs onsite and tank refills. Amazing!
I took a tank that I bought from Craigslist, and needed some work done on it. Rep was helpful and explained everything to me. Not rude at all.
They seem to enjoy selling their product and are very knowledgeable.
I just became a loyal costumer.

The staff here was really nice and helpful.
I brought these guys my old gun to see if they would be interested in purchasing it along with the accessories.
They didn’t end up buying any of it, but the experience was pleasant. I would come back here to buy a new gun when im ready. Solely because the staff was so nice and professional about it all.
I would recommend these guys because of their customer service alone.

Awesome experience with staff. Steven (I’m pretty sure is his name) is a great guy and helped me overcome my anxiety of my broken marker (just an air leak). Ended up leaving it there to get serviced by another staff member who knows his markers inside and out. I’m just getting into paintball with my friends so I did an impulse buy and purchased a marker off Craigslist that leaked air. I feel like it’s my own man cave with friendly people
2000 paintballs for $ 34 is a great deal also!

Friendly and helpful staff makes a difference. They answered all my questions and I never felt rushed or pressured even thought the store was crowded.

I stopped by today to with my brother to get his first paintball gun. I’ve been here before but didn’t have the greatest of experiences with the customer service.
Today however, the younger lady and gentleman working this afternoon redeemed the shop for me today.
We had a lot of questions and they took the time to answer them all. They both explained things is a way that we understood. My brother had a lot of questions too. They explained why the paintball guns that my brother was looking at were the price they were.
The best part that I think everyone can appreciate is they they didn’t try to sell the most expensive things.
Customer service definitely gets 5 stars
I have to give the shop 4 stars because they don’t really have a great selection when it comes to upgrades. It’s very limited compared to other paintball shops I have been to both here and in LA.
I like to hold and get a feeling of what in going to pay my hard earned money for.
They do offer to special order whatever you want but like I said, that’s not for me.
Overall, the two working today really helped and showed a passion for where they work. Which is rare to find.
I forgot your names but thanks again. My brother is stoked!!!

These guys are awesome. We used to be loyal customers to Golden State Paintball, but after the customer service went below sub-​par, we decided to try out Velocity Paintball in Bonita. The guy at the counter was honest, upfront and really knows what he’s talking about. My husband and I have become loyal customers at this place and will continue to spend our money with them.

I go here now since their Poway location closed. I received the same quality of customer service like I did before. First I came here to get my tanks hydrotested. Turns out only one of the two needed to be tested. I paid for the service and returned the following week when my tank returned from testing. Easy!
The same day I received my tank, I got a box of paint, and a new mask. She helped me make sure I got everything for paintball since I haven’t been on the field for the last couple years until today. I was a happy paintballer again. Thank you!
This location has everything you would need for paintball.

I had a BLAST popping my paintballing cherry yesterday! I got a few gnarly battle welts as a souvenir too haha. I went with a group of 7 and toward the end of the day it was like our own private paintball session because everyone else had left. The referee was really nice and let us play a final game even though it was getting close to closing time. I really appreciated it.
There used to be 11 courses but there are more like 6 now. My favorite was the one with the springy looking barrels because I could actually see the opposing team. The one in the trees was really tricky in my opinion.
Being a first-​timer I didn’t really know what to expect, but once you get over the fear of getting hit (which it doesn’t hurt so much as surprise you because you never know where and when you’re going to get hit) and actually start charging and maneuvering around the bunkers it is a ton of fun! I’m not sure if all the players were going easy on me because I was the only girl or what, but I did surprisingly well!
I think it cost my boyfriend $ 120 total. $ 80 for both of our rental packages ($ 40 each) and another $ 40 for a box of 2000 paintballs, which lasted us the whole day and then some. There was almost a fight that broke out between these two guys trying to act macho, but other than that everyone was really nice and friendly. Oh, try not to aim at the referees in the red shirts! I got one pretty good on accident whoops!
Lastly, it was so stinking hot yesterday! I was told to wear a long sleeve shirt that I didn’t mind getting dirty and some rinky dinky jeans. It was way too hot for that. Next time I’m just going to wear shorts and a tank and be comfortable. I don’t mind the welts. They up my «bad ass» factor anyway haha. You will be kneeling and squatting a lot though so if you don’t wear long pants or jeans, you might want to considering bringing some knee pads. They definitely saved my boyfriend’s knees yesterday. I can’t wait to get down and dirty and paintball again! :D

Worst service ever! Walked in with a DM5 looking for eye detent springs ans the guy pretty much laughed at me and told me good luck finding anything for that old. When i asked about an o-​ring kit, he laughed again, telling me dye does not make them and he only had single o-​rings, which is fine… If i hadn’t bought a vendetta o-​ring kit for a DM3 months earlier from the Santee location. The only reason i drove to Bonita was because Golden State in La Mesa was closed and so was Velocity in Santee. I would have been ok if he was not so rude about my «old gun» and laughing… then sarcastically telling me «good luck with that…» when I finally said well I guess you cant help me. Next time I will wait until the next day and go to Golden State or the Santee location.

This place is excellent, easily the best store in San Diego other than the other Velocity location in El Cajon. The staff were friendly, approachable, and helpful, and their prices for repairs and service were reasonable. They have a wide selection of the latest gear, and the guns they have in stock are always decently priced and have lifetime warranties through the store. If they don’t have the gun you want, you can still get it though them if you tell them to order it for you, and that way you get the warranty and support a local paintball store at the same time.
Their gear can be overpriced by a bit, but usually they have OK prices. The only complaints I have is that it can take a while to get your gun repaired if they have a alot of people in queue and their clothing and soft goods gear can be outdated and overpriced.
Overall, this store is awesome and I by far superior to all other paintball stores in San Diego.

I like coming here with friends to play. They have lots of fields, the only one that ive never played in is the air ball field, but i think only teams practice there. If your batteries die their $ 2.50, and food + drinks.
Its definitely the best in San Diego,
I would come here more often if it wasnt so far away from where i lived

I have quite a history with Velocity Paintball, bought my first marker here (ok my parents bought it for me) a PMI Piranha. It worked for a few games then I started having problems with it. I had to take it in a few times for repairs. They finally told me I could exchange it for a Spyder TL Plus. Which was pretty cool of them as it was a more expensive marker. I used that through middle school. When I got to high school I met some people and we formed a paintball team. I upgraded to a WGP Autococker which I also purchased from Velocity Paintball as well as a ⁶⁸⁄₃₀₀₀ carbon fiber HPA tank and some JT Pro Flexs. Now after high school, the team broke up as everyone got jobs, went to college, joined the military. I went from an every weekend player to a once or twice a year player if I was lucky.
When I needed to get my marker serviced or some parts replaced after sitting in the closet for months, I’d take it into Velocity. By this time mechanical markers had pretty much faded out by this time. So when I’d go in the staff seemed to roll their eyes and an seem annoyed but they’d fix up the gun all the same.
About 3 years ago a few of us from high school got back together and we started playing more regularly again. As we started going to the shop more often we noticed the staff seemed pretty young and and well kinda rude to be honest. They tried pushing us into getting new electronic markers, which is ok they are salesmen after all, but they also seemed a little irritated and condescending about us using/​them fixing our older mech markers. I had to get my 2 tanks rehyrdo tested so I took them in to velocity for the testing. At the. same time my friend brought in his older model Angel to get fixed as it was having an issue shooting with any velocity. They told him his Angel would be ready in a week and my tanks would be ready in14−30 days. Well a month went by I received one tank back and they still had my friends Angel. They finally gave him back is Angel after about 2 months it however wasn’t fixed. They gave him his money back but said they couldn’t fix it. I still had not received my 2^nd more expensive tank back. We found a different paintball shop that said they did repairs in all markers and could fix Angels. So we took it in there and they looked at it for a while and asked us if we had tied messing with it ourselves. He told them, no that he had taken it to another shop and they said they couldn’t fix it. The tech at the new shop showed us a big scratch on the inside of the marker and said it looked like someone had tried to remove the valve with a screwdriver and scratched the inside and now it wouldn’t hold a seal and would leak air. Basically told him that the marker was permanently broken. The scratch was not there before we took it to Velocity.
Now, back to my missing tank. After 2.5 months I started calling wondering were my tank was. I got things like «Oh well I don’t see it here maybe it got sent back to one of our other stores, (they have 3) I’ll check and call you back.» No call back. Call back the next week, «Yeah we had to mill the neck of the bottle it’s at the machine shop it’ll be done this week.» Called back the next week «Oh the reg broke off we have to put on a new one» They gave me the run around for a another few months until they finally told me it failed hydro. This was 9 months AFTER I originally brought the tank in. I asked for the hole punched tank (When a tank fails hydro testing the put a hole in it so it can’t be filled again) and my deposit back. They gave my the deposit back but never produced the tank. I’m pretty sure the simply lost the tank and feed me BS for months until I gave up on getting it back. After that, the damage to my friends marker, the rude and sometimes un-​knowledgeable staff we have taken our business elsewhere.
The prices for paint are reasonable but the gear is a little over priced. They do have a fairly large store with lots of gear. It ‘s also a bit of a far drive from La Mesa though and I’ve found a closer shop I like better. Initially I had good experiences with the Velocity shops, but lately their quality and service has dropped to an unacceptable level.. Now keep in mind this is for the Bonita store. I’ve had better experiences with the Poway store. This is NOT for the paintball park/​field, I really like the field and go there often, I have played in the Velocity Paintball League which is A LOT of fun and I would recommend that to everyone!

Great shop, very helpful staff, good quality products for sale and great service and marker servicing… Hydro was 20 bucks, and now and then they put over stock stuff on sale. Super chill staff, and very organized shop.

polite, had minor issues with my marker, fixed and tested it there on the spot

So i just started paintballing about a month ago and this is the first place i went to buy my eqipment. they have everything there you need to get started. the people are helpfull and help you take your stuff to the car if you need it. go here if you need stuff!

Damn I love this shit.
Now, I am totally against guns and violence and dumbshit beefcake/​bonehead testosterone type stuff, but I can’t lie: I FREAKIN LOVE PAINTBALL. I am a totally mellow dude, but something happens to me when I strap on a paintball gun and head out in the woods, I get crazy bloodlust. It’s like as soon as my face mask goes on, I’m Rambo, The Transporter, and Jean Claude Vanwhogivesadamn all in one. I get NUTS.
I went to Velocity with a group of about 15 last Saturday, and had a blast. It was my second time doing this, and I would definitely reccomend having a group large enough to have your own private course and ref. It’s way more fun to shoot your friends than strangers.
The refs were great, very nice, young kids. One guy, one girl. They went over the rules («No ball shots», «Don’t shoot us») and were very friendly and helpful. They didn’t look down on me either for looking like a total tourist on the field, with my gay sleeveless shirt and tight girls pants. (The «real» paintballers look like they just parachuted in from BlackHawk Down, scary.)
There was a vareity of fields, we played on about 5 or 6. My favorite were the ones in the woods, with natural cover like trees and bushes.
Suprisingly, I was GOOD. I mean, REAL good. Poor Ruggy who was playing with us got lit the FUCk up by my hot steel, he had some sweet welts that he will remember for awhile. I think I am so good at this because I’ve lived in East County for so long, its almost in my blood to shoot guns well. I made it through about 8 games and only got hit twice, and once was on my toe so it almost didn’t count.
We ended the day by getting hammered drunk in the limo bus on our way back to civilization. Oh yea, I forgot to mention we rolled up in a booze filled limo bus. I would also recommend that, cause you will be too tired to drive or even move after a day of paintballing.
So the next time you’re on the paintball field and you see a semi queer lookin guy in girls jeans, laugh at me all you want, but you’ll be laughin from the sidelines after I throw some paint caps in your ass.

They took all my money.
Or rather, I gave it to them.
I got the gold Dye «uniform» — yep, gloves and tank cover (or whatever you call it) and all. I’m gonna look so cool. ;-)
Anyway, I like this location because they have a lot to choose from. Well, not THAT much, but I’ve never been to a shop that really has THAT much to choose from. With that said, if you’re going to find it — you’ll find it in here.
The older man at the counter was super nice and patient with me and even called another store to see if they had my size of the jersey I wanted. I was a big pain in the ass, not deciding to try on things until I was already at the counter paying, etc. and they didn’t seem to be horridly annoyed. If they were, they were very sweet to me for not showing it.

I started playing paintball about 12 years ago (Wow, that just made me feel old…) My first gun was a Hammer pump-​gun (Yeah, you used to have to pump them) and I’ve pretty much bought every paintball gun and accessory from there. When I was 19 I started playing competition ball and was on one of their sponsored teams and it was a great experience.
Even though I haven’t played in about a year, I still stop in from time to time so say hi to everyone. The customer service has always been awesome and the employees are well-​versed in gun care & maintenance. If you’re ever looking to get into the wonderful sport of paintball, Velocity is the place to go.
