Introduction to
Paintball Guns and More...
Now that you
have decided to play Paintball, purchasing one of the many Paintball guns
available is an important first step. If you are a newbie, all the types
of markers out there will knock you over.
If this is
your first time buying a Paintball marker, I would suggest not spending
more than 300 dollars. If it is over 300 dollars, it’s probably not a
gun for you.
The reason
for this is that the higher level tournament Paintball markers requires
extra care, cleaning and maintenance that you most likely lack the knowledge
in. Once you have reached the point where you are knowledgeable about
Paintball markers and their care, you can start looking at the higher-level
tournament guns. These guns can cost from $300 and up.
When searching
for the ultimate gun for you, there are many brand name makers of Paintball
guns. Among them are Smart Parts, PMI, Kingman, Raven and Tippman just
to name a few.
There
are various designs to let you do various things. There are Paintball
guns specifically made for the stalker and the extreme player. These guns
have different features, where a stalker would have a miserable time with
a more extreme automatic gun. The same applies for the extreme player,
who would not enjoy the action of the "stalking" gun.
A final consideration
to make when choosing one of the various Paintball guns available is what
style of game you play.
If you play
in the woods, extreme style guns, even if you tend to be an extreme style
player, will only tend to get you hit and out of the game before the game
has truly begun. Buy the gun that fits the most common game you play.
That will assure you get the most of your Paintball gun. |
