Whether you are feeling the call of duty, or you want to pretend you are in the middle of an intergalactic blaster fight, there are plenty of places to release your inner soldier in Central Mass. So put down the X-Box controller and turn off the PS3, because GoLocalWorcester is giving you the best places to (legally) shoot your friends.

Friendly Fire Paintball: 108 Grove St., Upton, MA

Friendly Fire offers a wide variety of packages that allow you and a group of friends to take each other down for a low price. A normal daily pass for unlimited play costs $58, but they also have a bachelor party deal. That will only run you $38 a person, and if you have 15 or more players, Friendly Fire will even let you use their picnic and grill area for the day.

Fox 4 Paintball: 159 Milford St., Upton, MA

The all-day pass at Fox 4 is pretty comparable to Friendly Fire at $60 a person. But, they do offer a great deal on birthday parties, starting at $300 for 30 players, with an additional $30 charge for each player. That means that if you can get your friends off the couch, your individual cost will be cut in half.

All Starr Paintball: 161 Southbridge Rd., North Oxford, MA

This Southbridge-based paintball field specializes in paintball parties, and offers competitive rates starting at $225 for 10 players over a two hour span. It is a bit more expensive than some other fields, but All Starr gives you the option of only playing with whoever is in your party that day, they do not just mix you in with whoever is there.

Citadel Airsoft: 34 Suffolk St., Worcester, MA

This is the best place to blast your buddies in the city limits, and is a bit different than paintball. Unlike paintball, Citadel Airsoft uses BB’s instead of breakable ammo. You have to be a member, but membership only costs $20 a year, and a single day pass will run you $25. They also have several promotions, such as two members play for the price of one on Tuesdays, and female members play for free on Fridays. How’s that for a lady’s night?

LazerZone: 416 Boston Post Rd. E #1, Marlborough, MA

Located in the Marlboro Square Shopping Center, LazerZone also houses an arcade and a snack bar. Two-game packages start as low as $12.99, and you can play all day for just $22.98. Another interesting option at LazerZone is their karaoke theater, which can be rented out for two hours for $99.99. So, unleash your inner Storm Trooper, and American Idol.
