Do you know where to shop for paintball gear?
There are many online shops as well as retail stores all over the country that sell and offer paintball guns, markers, as well as anything and everything that relates to the game of paintball.
One shop that can be accessed online is paintballgun.com. This online store is unique in its own way because this shop is operated, built and run by players of paintball.
They have solid as well valid ideas what paintball players need and/or want to have. They also have a number of years of experience in the paintball industry.
Usually, items ordered thru paintballgun.com are shipped immediately - in as little as twenty four to forty eight hours.
Believe it or not, paintballgun.com offers a thirty day guarantee so that you can get your money back if you are in any way dissatisfied with their product. Just make sure that all merchandise purchased, whether new or used, is returned using the same packaging in which it was originally received.
A one year warranty is provided to all and /or any parts of items purchased, as well as an extended warranty on all guns purchased.
The catalogues they provide are also available online. This is one of the reasons they are able to keep their prices low since printing is expensive and takes longer than posting item details on the net. Also, their prices are updated online and they try –as much as possible – to lower their prices for you.
Currently, any items purchased through their online store can be paid for using credit cards such as Master Card, Visa, Amex and Discover.
They also accept checks and are also utilizing the online service of PayPal.
All items purchased from paintballgun.com are one hundred percent insured.
Just make sure that you keep on record the number of the invoice, the tracking number and any damage the item might have incurred during shipping when you call the department that handles claims at paintballgun.com.
Another online shop that sells paintballs is Xtremez Wholesale. They are the source of most items found in paintball shops that are found across the country. However, their focus is on special paintball as well as Airsoft retail stores.
Their trade shows are a perfect venue to display their products, making it easier for you or anyone to directly make that one essential purchase in one shop, conveniently and easily, rather than going to many others.
There are many paintball stores but it may be easier to locate and purchase goods online thru the internet. All one has to do is seek and surely you will definitely find!
Have fun, Greg

Supplies Needed for the Game of Paintball
Supplies Needed for the Game of Paintball
Paintball is a growing game not only in the United States but also in the world. A survey conducted in 2005 has shown that this is the third most popular game in the world.
The use of equipment to protect the players has earned it a reputation as a safe sport - this is better than football or hockey which have a reputation for causing injuries.
For people to play this game, it is required that a player wear safety gear at all times. This consists of a helmet, chest pad, gloves, and knee and elbow pads. The guns used are only allowed to have a maximum firing speed of 300 feet per second.
Anyone who wants to try this game should first buy the necessary equipment which can be purchased at the local sports store or online. A helmet may $20-$90. Since it fogs up due to perspiration, dirt, or paint it would be a good idea to buy a cleaning solution and anti-fog spray as well.
Protective gear for the chest can be bought for less than $30. These come in different colors and will protect the individual should a direct shot hit the body. Pads for the knees and elbows can also be purchased for less than $40 each.
The most important thing needed for battle is the player’s firearm. This can be handguns to assault rifles. The price of these guns run from $100 to more than a $1,000 depending on the features of the gun. Most of these are semi-automatic and can hold several paintballs before being reloaded.
A crucial part of the game is ammunition. This also comes in different colors and ranges in price from $24- $60. A box contains 2000 rounds - more than enough for one game. The player can also buy grenades to be used against the opponent for almost the same price. It is a good idea to buy a loader that will save time when it is time to reload.
Paintball as some would say is “better than the real thing”. This thrilling sport keeps the heart pounding and the adrenaline going. Should the person be interested in this game, the first thing that needs to be done is getting the right equipment from the shop and learning the rules.
After briefing, it is time to suit up, lock and load, and get ready to be in the combat zone.

Essential Gear for Paintball
You might have heard of paintball, an exciting sport that anybody can start playing. If you want to play, you will need some basic gear first. This article will outline this gear and help you get out the door and start playing.
The first this you will need is a good paintball mask. I mention this first because it is very important from a safety perspective. You do not want to try to use shop goggles or anything else like that while playing paintball. Just stick with certified paintball goggles. It is very important that these goggles fit you well, since you will have to keep them on continuously while playing.
The piece of gear most people get excited about is the marker or the gun. There is a huge range of markers for you to choose from, so I won't even begin to try to cover all of them here. The best approach is to pick your price range, and shop around for the best one you can find within that range.
The next thing you will need is an air system. You have two major types of systems to choose from, CO2 and compressed air based systems. Compressed air systems are more expensive, but also much higher performance. CO2 is cheap, and should be considered if you are on a budget. As time goes on, more and more people are going with compressed air systems.
Unless you plan on loading balls into your marker one by one, you will need a hopper to keep the paintballs in and load them into your marker. I suggest getting a motorized (or agitated) hopper, since this will really help cut down on your gun jamming up if you try to fire a half loaded paintball. A great help, to be sure.
This is not an exhaustive list of accessories for playing paintball. There will be many other random items needed, such as ball tubes, harnesses, spare parts, and more, but this should help get you started. You will need a good sturdy set of clothes that you don't mind getting stained occasionally. Other than that, you should be ready to go.
This outlines your basic gear kit to get started playing paintball. Now, all you have to do is get out there, buy some, and start playing! Check by your local or online shop today to start getting the gear you need.
