What You Should Know About Buying Paintball Guns

By Leslie Wilkenson

The sport of paintball is becoming more and more popular every day. Paintball is being played everywhere across the world, especially in the United States. The most important tool you must have when you are playing paintball is the gun, and I am here to help you get the best paintball gun for you

Paintball would be impossible to play without the paintball gun. All paintball guns may look the same but it is important to remember that choosing the right paintball gun is not an easy task. Here are some tips that you may need to consider:

The foremost thing that you have to consider, is what kind of a budget do you have that you can invest in a new or used paintball gun. In the market today the prices vary greatly, anywhere from a used paintball gun for about 75 bucks to a new fancy ones that could be as high as a thousand dollars.

Buying a paintball gun could be like buying a car, because more than likely you are not going to buy a car that you do not first test drive. So if it is at all possible, you should test the paintball gun out to make sure that it gives you the right feel before you purchase one.

The next thing that you should look for in a paintball gun would be the size of the paintball gun, and you must also take into consideration the size of the tanks and loaders. If you are a small person then you should get a small gun, while if you are strong and big, you could handle a heavier gun.

As with a car or computer, comparing prices is always a must when it comes to paintball. Some brands may be great for a while, but not durable, so the value may go down. There are good paintball guns out there, you just have to do the research.

Seek further information from friends who play paintball, instructors, and coaches of paintball games who will be able to provide some tips on what paintball guns they have used and have found effective. Paintball stores can also recommend some good paintball guns and/or those that they most often sell to their customers.

As soon as you are finished choosing the right paintball gun, you must familiarize yourself with the machine. Practicing with the paintball gun will help you move with the gun as well as apply some strategies for using the gun.

Paintball: An Intro If You Have Never Played Before

By Reed Mitty

When you are bored and have to think of something for the family to do you should think about something that everyone can enjoy that is outside and that involves thinking and moving really quickly. Better yet, why not add an activity to your families lifestyle that promotes teamwork and cohesion? One recreational activity that can offer this and more is Paintball - one of the most exciting games that adults and young adults can play.

Paintball is a game of strategy, kind of like chess, so not only does it test your ability to think under pressure, it pushes you to practice visual-strategics before each mach. This is an essential skill to learn in life - it goes along with the whole "see it and achieve it" mindset. Another aspect that is really great about this game, is that your can have an infinite number of players taking on an infinite number of challenges or game variants. This alone makes every weekend of play new and challenging.

If you have come across paintball at a fun fair that you have recently been to, you may have noticed that it is a bit boring. This is the limited version of paintball, and one thing that you have to remember, is that there is no limit to what paint ball can be. When played in the woods it can be an all out tactical game, and when played on a large field filled with bunkers it can be a fast paced shootout.

Once you have your opponents in sight you will have to shoot at them with the special paintball guns that are given to you. These can hurt even though it is just paint so you will all have to wear body armor when you play.

A fun game to play is the game of capture the flag. Now, you may have played capture the flag before, but if you were to mix it with a game of paintball, you will have a real fun game on your hands.

It is a great stress reliever and you can also spend quality time with the family when you do this. There's nothing like letting out a weeks worth of frustration through a healthy dose of adrenaline.
