Amazing safe experience for my teenage boys to have a party with airsoft and paintball. It's well organized, and they thought of every details including when I forgot to bring plates, forks, and tablecloths. They keep the kids safe and very strict on the rules on eye protection and body safety Can't speak highly of the great experience Roger gave for my son's friends Thanks so much and we will be back read more

Been here numerous times over the past few weeks and easily spent well over $2k as I've very quickly gotten into the sport. David has been amazing help every time and has answered every question I've had with ease which clearly shows his abundant paintball knowledge. Highly recommend coming here for any questions/service on your equipment or just to support a local business just as I have! read more

I was getting back into paintball after a 9 year hiatus. So I found myself frequenting this store a number of times over the last year. Every shopping experience has been great! Prices are reasonable and about on par with most online retailers. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and respectful to me. When I need paint this is the only store I buy from. Decent variety/grades and fair pricing. All the paint they sell has performed exceptionally well. Their tank hydro process was quick and easy with good pricing. I needed to buy new forearm/elbow guards and knee pads and it was nice to be able to feel the soft goods in person, compare brands, and try them on. The Karnivor electro Autococker was always a gun I liked though I did not get to play with it much. Between practices and tournaments I was always shooting my Planet Eclipse EGO. So when the time came to bring the Karnivor out of storage I knew it needed some tuning to get dialed in. These guns are now worth between $1,500 and $2,000. I absolutely trusted the team at Velocity Paintball's Store to take care of my baby. They got her shooting awesome! As San Diego's only paintball store you should consider checking out Velocity Paintball's Retail Store before going online. The prices are good and their service is great! read more

Went out to play at velocity with a few buddies and enjoyed it so I went to go buy a starter kit but didn't know where to begin. I played at their field and saw they had a shop. I went there and David was very knowledgable and was and walked me through different packages within my budget. I ended leaving with an empire mini and he recommended me with a jt mask as it is much easier to breathe in. I will definitely be going back thanks to David for all my paintball needs read more

Great experience! At first I was hesitate to play but me and my family had a blast here and also had a wonderful instructor showing us everything thank you David ! Can wait to come back! read more

Power tank, off road and 4x4 people this isn't your place. Stopped by 2/17/24 to fill my tank like I have 2 times before, had a sign on the door the employee is on break will be back 15-30 min. No problem everyone needs a break and or lunch. Maybe I had bad luck and they walked out right as I got there. nevertheless I waited over 40 mins. heres an idea put gone from a time to time, put gone for an hr, put the closed sign up so people don't wait. After the guy got back from his nap I head in to fill up my 10lb bottle. Sleepy head said we don't fill up bottles that size, I say that's not true since I have filled this bottle up twice before and you are the one who has filled it. He said he didn't know it was a 10lb bottle those times. So they can fill them but they choose not to from time to time, I'm not sure. All in all it's time I can't get back and won't be spending my money or recommend this place. Bummer because I like to support the smaller shops. Best of luck. Photo attached of past purchase of when they filled up my tank but can't now. read more

Great customer service, there is usually a tech at store when we come in helping people with their markers. They have a few items that are discounted in a designated area. They sell different grades of paint and have several different options to choose from with markers for paintball and a selection that they sell air-soft gear and guns. Overall, this is the place we come for a quick lense or something we need quickly. read more

If I could give this store 0 stars I would. I had the "pleasure" of meeting Denise Hazlitt (manager) at her family owned paintball park. Boy was that an encounter I won't soon forget. She treats paying customers like the bottom of her shoe. So sad because I have been paintballing for 20 years and I could bring her steady business to her park and store. But I will not anymore! read more

Just walked out and the guy behind the counter didn't even seem like he WANTED to help me. Dude barely even seemed like he wanted to look at me. I'm a paying customer and the guns kinda sell themselves when you come in knowing exactly what you want, but I definitely wouldn't want to buy another one from that dude again. read more

I've been a customer for 20+ years. Velocity, since it's days down in Bonita, has been my go to shop. I can't say enough good about this place. Since they moved to Kearny Mesa the shop is even more convenient to get to. Brian their tech pretty much knows anything there is to know about markers. If you need something fixed, take it here and it will get done. Need a tank hydro tested, they can take care of that. Inventory selection is great. They have a constant fresh supply of paintballs so you never have to worry about *old paint*. They have a full range of gear from just getting started to the highest end of everything. Seriously excellent shop and field! read more

So I stopped in and had a great experience. For a older person like me I get a lot of weird looks when I talk about paintballing. The you man in there helped with everything I needed to rebuild my guns that have been in storage for over a decade. All the prices where as posted on the site. They will be getting a lot of money from me in the future! read more

Did not know there was a paintball/airsoft store locally! It's tucked away in a plaza which has lots of available parking. This place is quite comprehensive and they have multiple types of paintball gear, from actual paintballs all the way to the guns, with a wide range of pricing. The place was not busy, which allowed me to see many of the things they offered. Apparently they also service the markers as well as tanks. One thing I learned is that with C02 tanks; when they expire, you shouldn't get them retested, and it is better to just buy a new tank. The place has a selection of airsoft guns, albeit mostly larger ones, as well. Lots of other gear is available, at reasonable prices. I will be back when ready to hit the range or local paintball fields! read more

Came in to look for a good starter airsoft setup for my son. Lando was really helpful when going through my options and helped me get the best value for my budget. Will definitely return for any follow up purchases. read more

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 read more

Nice and knowledgeable people. Prices are reasonable and they are maintaining pandemic practices well.

Getting back in the game after a decade aint easy. Got a new tank filled similar to any online price, and a case of paint under $50. Not much more you can ask for. Employees were cool, young buck was friendly, i witnessed manager dealing with a difficult return of a mag fed from a lame customer. Very professional. Thanks for staying alive. Only suggestion would be a customer account system, maybe you have it idk. Track tank purchases for hydro testing and proof of purchase on paint bought at store and brought to field. Customer account names are also fun. Thanks, Angel guy #makepaintballgreatagain read more

Very good customer service and has tons of paintball gear like the Empire Mini GS and Ninja Carbkn Fiber tanks.

Kid working that day was more interested in whatever was on his phone than helping me out with questions. Felt like a burden as soon as I walked in. Ended up just going for a jersey. read more

Hello. I've been playing at Velocity since I was 15 I am 31 now all their staff is great the retail store is great they got their tech in there Brian is great tech he's fixed my guns more times then I can remember. If you're looking for a great paintball store go to Velocity. Denise is also a great owner read more

Tried getting my Etek 3 wrenched on at a few other spots, FAIL! until I brought it here. Brian, is the man. Barely getting back into paintball so I'm a little out of touch with this new gen, although the 3 is considered a bit old at this point, lol. None the less he put his magic touch to it, I took it out and it performed flawlessly. I was going to try and sell it online for parts, but after I experienced its performance in the field it is a keeper, thank you Brian and the Velocity team as a whole, you guys ROCK! read more

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. read more

I went here to get a paintball tank filled with CO2 for use with my planted fish aquarium. This is the best place to get them filled I have found in the city. The gentleman helping me was very friendly, helpful and explained things to me about filling and handling tanks I did not know before. The pricing and service were exceptional, and he even helped me with attaching my regulator. (Fitting the adapter onto the regulator was tricky and he worked it out.) I will definitely go back. read more

Called multiple places around SD to get my Paintball tank filled.. All of them said they couldn't do it.. but this place came thru in the clutch! Idk why places offer paintball but can't fill or refill tanks... This guys differently have my business now. read more

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. read more

Great place to start if you wanted to get into or back into paintball. They have a wide selection of markers, beginner gear, and upgrades to get you started. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable in there field. They are willing to help you out with any questions you may have. read more

It was so hot the day we went. We were sweating like crazy under that mask, but totally worth it. Lots of fun.

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. read more

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. Kuddos read more

There are basically no paintball stores in San Diego so I was stoked to find this one. It's a pretty small store in comparison to some others I've been to and they don't have the largest selection of markers, but they will order you what you want if they don't have it. They do have a wide selection of beginner to advanced gear though. They also have lenses for all the popular masks and most popular masks. Prices match up to what I've seen online. They will match other store's advertised prices which is pretty cool. Both times I've been in there, they guys have been really great about letting me see all o the markers and answering all of my questions. They have a knowledgable staff. This is where I'm going from now on when I need to buy paintball gear quickly or check it out before buying used online. PS. Parking can be a pain sometimes even though they have a parking lot. Also, they recently changed locations and I've noticed that Google Maps is sending me to the old location on my phone. Make sure you are going to the correct location (Yelp has it right) read more

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. read more

Great customer service. Helped out today with my Gtek 170R and fixed it in two seconds. Really appreciated it. Great place and shop to go too! They match internet prices! Everyone that works there seems to play frequently and so you know you are getting expert advice! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Velocity paintball store for the first time at their Kearny mesa location, the last time I've been to a Velocity store was at their now closed Bonita location back in 2011. I'm getting back into paintball so I was looking forward to checking out the store and buying some items since I had a great experience with them in the past. Unfortunately, I had a different experience. I called ahead wanting to buy a tank from them and they put one on hold for me so I was happy making the 25 min drive from South SD to pick it up. When I arrived, I saw there was a 2-person rule due to Covid, I waited outside because I saw two individuals walking inside not knowing they were the associates. When I saw them go behind the counter, I just walked in because they didn't flag me to come in. When inside, Associate #1 and Associate #2 (didn't want to share their names out of respect for their privacy) were in the back of the store and saw me but didn't acknowledge or welcome me until I just stood at the counter watching them. Associate #1, who I was on the phone with, came up to me and got my product with short small talk (even when I was trying to have friendly conversation like I did with employees from the former Bonita location). Before buying I asked to check around the rest of the store to see if they had any other products that I may be interested in. When looking around, two workers from HK ARMY came in and Associate #1 went to have a lengthy conversation with them. While still looking, I went to ask Associate #2 some questions about products while Associate #1 was still engaged in what seemed like friendly non work-related conversation. After my questions were answered and I was done looking around, I went up to the counter to just buy my tank. I waited at the cashier for a few minutes even though its small shop and I was the only customer at the time, while Associate #1 was still in conversation and Associate #2 was in the back. Associate #2 just saw me standing there and came to ring me up. When I asked for tips how to take care of the tank, he gave me very generic and non-helpful information of just keeping it in my gear bag. The customer service I received was definitely lacking, especially when trying to engage in conversation. The two associates just gave an awkward vibe unless you knew them. All and all, the whole experience didn't make me want to go back anytime soon. I'll continue to shop at Velocity to support a small local paintball business in San Diego but I hope my experiences in the future become more positive. On the plus side, they have a good amount of equipment there to get you set up (barrels, masks, parts, markers, etc.). They also price match online prices. read more

I have a new toy and went here for air and CO2. . I appreciated the expertise and advice they gave. I would definitely go to them again.
