During 2006 Skirmish Laser Games started investing in the latest digital tagger technology. The laser "Tagger" systems offer the excitement of paintball but with no projectiles. Without the need for paintball masks and the risks of bruising it has opened up this exciting game to a broader age range. The great thing about the state of the art digital taggers is the taggers can be programmed with different setting depending on the age and abilities of the group. By changing the amount of lives and ammo etc. the games can be made more challenging or simpler if needed.
One of the main advantages for schools using Skirmish Laser Games
is the fixed costs. Unlike paintball the cost of the event
can be fixed in advance. With paintball players have to
purchase extra paintballs and with the temptation of players
to shot at anything that moves some players ran out of
ammunition and missed games. With Skirmish Laser Games each player
has unlimited ammunition at the start of every game and all players
have equal amounts of ammunition and the players will not be expected
to take extra funds to an event except for drinks or chocolate.
