Paintball Guns

Since its emergence in the early 80s, paintball  has become an increasingly popular activity. As the game has become more popular, participants looking for an edge have pushed the games equipment to new levels. Guns shoot harder, more accurately, and more rapidly then ever before.

Steps to Purchasing a Gun

• Determine your budget. Guns can run anywhere from $100 to over $800. Certain guns also unload balls and CO2 more rapidly, which also can affect the cost of your game.
• Ask enthusiasts at paintball fields and facilities what they like and dislike about their guns. Getting feedback directly from users will help you to find a gun that best suits your needs.
• Decide whether you want constant air from a CO2 tank, or CO2 cartridges giving quick-change. Constant air lasts longer but is more difficult to refill on the run, where as cartridges can be stocked up on, and carried with you.
• Decide the length of barrel you want for your gun. A longer barrel will give you more accuracy, but is more awkward to handle.
• Decide the type of loader you want. While a bigger loader holds more balls it will be heavy, awkward, and could make shooting accurately more difficult.
