How To Choose The Best Paintball Gear

By Mattie MacDonald


Paintball is something that people often enjoy doing. It is a great alternative to the traditional bachelor or bachelorette party. People often do it as part of corporate team building. Whatever the reason when you take part it is recommended that you choose the best paintball gear.

The first and most important consideration is your safety. This means that whether renting or purchasing you need a proper mask to start with. From a practical point of view this shields your eyes so that if you get hit with a projectile it will not blind you. In terms of the game having a clear visor makes it easier to see and move around.

Broadly speaking there are two styles of paintballing. The first is Woodball. Generally this is what people tend to think of when someone says they are going to play paintball. The idea is that they are going to go into the woods in a mock combat style and often half the fun is playing an adult version of playground army games.

Broadly speaking there are two main types of paintball. There is Woodball and arguably this is what people tend to think of when they play. This is where people are outside in the woods and firing at each other. As the name suggests this is in a woodland environment so people can often take advantage of that and indeed many experienced players often know where to go to take out unsuspecting beginners.

There is also the marker to consider. This is in effect what people refer to the paintball gun. There are electronic ones that allow you to fire more than one ball at a time and adjust it. Alternatively if you prefer to only fire once a mechanical trigger works better or you can use a pump trigger that you pump each time you fire. The one you choose will depend on what you feel comfortable playing with and so there is an element of trial and error. Remember with these mechanisms CO2 or HPA gas canisters need to be purchased in order to ensure that the markers fire properly.

Your playing style can also have an effect on the kind of equipment that you should get for the game environment. The gun or marker has a number of variations. A mechanical trigger will fire once while an electronic trigger can be configured to fire a number of times. Generally speaking most people know of the pump action markers that need to be pumped after each shot. Additional accessories such as sights can also make it easier to fire the marker more accurately.

The gun or maker is something you need to choose carefully depending on your style. A traditional mechanism will fire one at a time while an electronic device can be adjusted to fire more than one. Alternatively you may prefer to use a pump action. Often this can be a matter of trial and error. It is also important to choose the right gas canisters in order to make sure the marker fires effectively. Most beginners use CO2 to start with and then move on to more advanced models once they become more confident. There are also other accessories such as additional sights that can make targeting more accurate.

You can find numerous places that sell paintball equipment online. Ideally you should look at a range of sites and compare what they have to offer. A lot of them will also have customer reviews so you can get feedback from people who have used the products before and this will make it easier to make an informed choice.
