Paintball Gear you will need |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Once you have your basic paintballing equipment, you are ready to enhance the experience with additional paintball gear. The basic paintballing equipment consists of a paintball marker or gun, the paintball ammunition, a hopper or loader, an air tank and a protective mask. Some paintball gear is for protective purposes. Much of the clothing you can purchase for paintballing is intended to keep the participants safe rather than make a fashion statement, although it can do that, as well. The shirts and pants contain padding on the main target locations. They also contain padding on the areas that are in contact with the ground when crawling or crouching. |

Elbow and knee pads, as well as, neck and chest protectors are available for further protection from paintballs. Close range shootings can cause severe bruising and pain depending on the target location. Gloves help to protect your hands in cool weather and shield a blow from a paintball. If you are playing a woodsball version of paintball, camouflage gear can help you blend in and provide excellent cover for you. Carrying more ammunition than your hopper can hold is highly recommended because you don't want to be caught in the middle of a dogfight with no ammo left. Pods are cylindrical containers that hold extra paintballs. Belts that hold pods and air tanks can be extremely helpful during extended game play. Gun cases and gear bags can help you easily organize and transport your paintball gear. They also help to protect your gear while it is not being used. A barrel blocking device is a good idea to use when your gun is not being used, also. This will help to block or catch any paintballs that may be expended accidentally during periods of inactivity. Paintball marker barrels can be switched for different purposes. Different barrels offer different features depending on quality, length and bore size. Paintballs expand and shrink depending on the weather conditions at the time of play. The right barrel will make for smooth play. However, the wrong size barrel can cause paintballs to break and clog up the gun. Stocks for your paintball marker can help improve shooter accuracy and stability while shooting. Also, different types of detents and springs determine the speed at which paintballs are released into the gun and expended from the gun. All of these can help improve your paintball marker accuracy and keep your paintballs from breaking and clogging up your gun. |
