Paintballs - Accuracy is the key to winning!

Firing paintballs with accuracy is the  key to this high action sport.  To perform well on the paintball field you’ll need a combination of personal skill and a decent gun or pistol, depending on the style of games you play.  Paintball markers come in a wide selection of designs, including pump action, semi automatic and hybrid blow back guns.  Finding a gun that suits your playing ability, and gives you the greatest accuracy when in combat should be your top priority.  Read reviews in paintball magazines and ask other paintballers for their top tips to get the best information.

There’s so much paintball gear for sale, it can be tricky for new players to know where to start.  Checking out the range of paintball guns for  sale is important, but there are also several other basic pieces of kit you’ll need before you begin paintballing.  You’ll need a hopper to load the paint balls into the gun.  What sort you’ll need depends on your marker’s rate of fire.  Electric hoppers are for very fast guns that fire at over 12bps.  For a slower gun a 200 round hopper is adequate.  Paintball pistols and pumps will need a paint tube.

When looking at paint ball markers for sale another consideration is the air supply.  A paintball pistol or pump will need 12 gram cartridges of CO2, whereas other guns rely on a tank of nitro or CO2.  Look for paintball barrels with porting, which can help quieten your gun.  You’ll also need safety equipment, so check out masks,  goggles and helmets.  Online paintball stores sell all these products as well as accessories.  Paintball fields have strict safety rules, so all paintballers must have a barrel blocking device such as a plug or stock in case their gun is accidentally fired.

A good online paintball shop is the place to go for sales of well known brands such as Kingman, Angel, Brass Eagle and Tippmann products.  And don’t forget to pick up your dye and grenades before the big game!
