Owner description:
Predator Assault, Laser combat is the newest and most exciting laser combat company in the UK. We use the latest and most realistic Predator Colt M4 Carbine Rifles and Beretta M9 replica, digital Laser guns to ensure that you experience the ultimate Laser combat experience. Our challenging missions are suitable for anyone aged 6 and over – from seasoned veterans to new players, and are designed for the maximum adrenalin.. We use the latest digital Laser taggers, which fire a completely harmless infra – Red beam with pinpoint accuracy, up to 300 metres. Do not be fooled by other companies who use older equipment and less life like laser equipment. Ours is the newest.
