Combat Experiences

Want to prove your self in combat?

Try the Virtual Soldier Experience. Learn to be an Infantry Soldier then grab your SA80 rifle and go get the enemy. Don't worry, the SA80's are converted to shoot a beam of light which, if your aim is good, hit a sensor on your "enemy" and claims your kill.

Or how about going to LA for the Air combat USA experience. Experience the exciting adrenaline rush of 'The Dogfight' in a real military trainer prop aircraft all under the guidance of instructor pilots.

Then come home, put that record on and sweep your woman off her feet.

Or go for the ultimate battle experience, Tankballing. You've experienced, or heard of paintballing, where you run around the woods with a gun that fires paintballs.

Now try it in a 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier, as used by the British Army, but with specially modified cannons capable of firing 40mm paint rounds.

How's that for the ultimate battle!
