Paintball Guns - the best bit! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
When looking to buy a paintball gun, you'll be bombarded with many different options, brands and prices. The market for paintball guns has exploded to huge proportions in the recent years, and that can make it difficult to decide what paintball gun is right for you. First of all, you should decide what qualities are most important to you. If you are on a budget, your price range can greatly narrow the field for you. However, even if you are not on a budget, spending more than $300 / £150 on a paintball is probably more than the gun is worth. This is important to remember because paintball guns range in price from $30 /£15 to over $1,000 / £500 The firing capability is almost as important as the price, depending on your needs and paintball style. The firing capability is the setting which determines how fast the gun shoots, such as semi automatic, automatic or pumps action. Each type has different advantages and disadvantages that are dependent on the type of paintball you play, such as woodsball or speedball. |

With over three dozen different brands that offer paintball guns, finding which brands offer the highest quality is very important. You want to find a brand that consistently makes durable guns that are light enough to not be a strain when carrying. Durability plays an important role in choosing a paintball gun because action out on the playing field can get pretty rough and wild sometimes. Expect to drop your paintball gun on occasion, as well as, hit it on tree branches and bunkers. The weight of the gun is important because you will be spending an extensive amount of time carrying it around while dodging paintballs, running and jumping over obstacles. Plus, you will have the added weight of the air tank. If possible, find out how precise the shooting of the paintball gun is. The accuracy is dependent on the shooter, but the precision comes from the gun. You also want to be able to spend a minimal amount of time cleaning and maintaining the gun after you are finished playing. A gun that requires a complete overhaul before every game is probably not the best option when you are looking to get out on the field. Safety is important both on and off the field, so a paintball gun should have some sort of mechanical safety feature. You want to be fairly certain that if you accidentally pull the trigger while walking out to the field, you won't shoot the person walking directly in front of you. |
