Paintball Minigun - Good, Bad, Or Just Plain Ugly?

By Brendan Mace

Paintball machine guns and gatling guns are a relatively recent phenomenon. They have not been around for very long, and most paintball manufacturers do not carry them in their product. Chances are, you have yet to see one in action. So many of you are probably wondering about whether they are worth the money. Well, There is no such thing as a cheap paintball gatling gun. In fact, I don't think there is a more expensive paintball product out there. But, they may just be the coolest thing you will ever experience.

The cost of a paintball machine gun is cause for concern, and many of us won't even consider them. But there are also a lot of reasons to try one out. Whether the pros of a paintball minigun override the high price tag, is up to you. Here's the list of pros

1 - Paintball machine guns are always created with very solid materials, so you won't have to worry about malfunctions due to materials. There is not a more solidly designed paintball product on the market. The people that have a paintball minigun now, will have the same gun 40 years from now. Unless they sell it of course.

2 - Paintball gatling guns have a rate of fire that is way above any other paintball firearm. Your automatic paintball gun will not be able to compete with the force of a paintball minigun. There is not a paintball marker on the planet that can rival the rate of fire.

3 - It's just too wicked. The looks, the design, the power. It's got absolutely everything going for it. Seeing it in person will drop your jaw.

Most of us will not be able to afford this gun. Which is too bad. Unfortunately we'll all have to hope like hell that we win the lottery so that we can make fun and frivolous purchase like a paintball gatling gun. I don't think there is a single paintballer out there who wouldn't want to take one of these bad boys for a test drive. If you haven't seen one of these guns in action, the next best thing you can do is take a look at them online. Even youtube has some cool videos. I have only seen a paintball machine gun once, but it was one of the most exciting experiences in my life. Unfortunately, the gatling gun belonged to a player on the opposing team, so I wasn't exactly benefiting from it. But, it was one of the most fun losing experiences I've ever had. My recommendation is to see whether a group of your friends want to share the cost of this device, and use it in your woodsball games. It's better to give the paintball minigun to the team that is less skilled. That way, you have a fun way to neutralize a teams dominance.
