Is there such thing as playing paintball in Korea? if so, where and is it cheap? (on PEI you pay about 20 bucks for the rental and 100 balls i think..). Just thought i would ask... |

they do have it, but it's got a different name and as much as I rack my brains I can't remember what it is! Sorry |

survival game is the name it goes by... be careful when choosing where to go, as some places are paintball, some are pellet/bb gun games
from what I can remember it was about 30-40,000 for a day |

Honestly, I can't remember all the details, but I went paintballing last spring in Gangwon-do. I can't remember the name of the city off the top of my head, but it's close to Inje. Inje is also a big rafting place. It's not a packaged tour or anything - you just show up. There are packages you can purchase once you get there: paintball, 4-wheeling, and rafting. My friends and I did paintballing (~20-30,000), and 4-wheeling for (~15-20,00). The only reason we didn't do rafting, was because the water was too low. I wish I could help you more... |

so there is no places indoors in Seoul or surrounding areas where you can just walk in when you feel like shooting somebody(with a paintball gun of course )? i intend on going to the DMZ when i arrive in Korea, i have a great interest in Military History |

I think komtengi is referring to Airsoft, which is apparently popular with the military crowd because you get guns that are replicas of real weapons. I've seen them for sale in Itaewon quite often. |
