Operational Detachment Southern California
(ODSC) is an uprising paintball team that has
made a lot of headway in the current Magfed
community. Magfed paintball is game that
uses any marker that uses a magazine to feed
paintballs into its firing mechanism. Some of
most notable markers for Magfed are markers like the Rap4 468, Milsig M17, Tippmann
Tipx, TCR, and yes even the Tippmann SMG60 that was released back in 1987.
So what then makes ODSC so special to the
Magfed community? ODSC is one of the first
teams in Southern California to host Magfed
Only Games or MFOGs. You can go to many
fields throughout the world with a Magfed
marker and play in standard games. You will
find players with speedball, pump, stock, and
other unique markers. What you will also see
is the competition amongst these markers.
There are speedball tournaments, which currently lead the paintball world for competitiveness. Pump and stock class tournaments also
are quite common. As well there are many
huge games for every type of play to come
join in with such as: Decay of Nations, Battle
of Mount Suribachi, Invasion of Normandy,
Oklahmoa D-Day and Living Legends. All of
which are not marker-exclusive but tend to
lean in on the Speedball side.
What it then boils down to is the play style.
ODSC was originally founded with only seven members. Koosha Arabi and Anthony Villa
then took the lead to start something new for
Southern California. With ODSC they established the Magfed Only Games nearly two
years ago in May of 2013. The idea was to
make Magfed have its own niche in the paintball world.
