Thankfully he won&#8217;t be able to raid the toolbox, but in games like black hawk down he&#8217;ll have the chance to search for parts and repair abandoned vehicles. With enemy fire to fight too though, it might be a little bit harder than assembling a coffe table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ultra-competitive dad<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5594\" src=\"https:\/\/go-ballistic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Yarm-Paintball-1.jpg\" alt=\"yarm-paintball-1\" width=\"266\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/go-ballistic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Yarm-Paintball-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/go-ballistic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Yarm-Paintball-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/go-ballistic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Yarm-Paintball-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s a kickabout in the park or a simple game of snap, some dads will do anything to win.
