How to Buy and Select Cheap Paintball Guns
While one should never sacrifice value over the quality of paintball safety
equipment, paintball guns are available today at reasonable prices and with a
wide variety of interesting features.
When deciding which the best paintball gun is for you, be realistic and
determine your “skill level”. When just beginning, and do not know the frequency
of your play, begin with an inexpensive gun.
To decide which features you need in a paintball gun, you can borrow markers
from your friends and try them on different paintball fields. After you have
decided on the features you want then start shopping for your gun.
When playing for recreation, there is really no need to spend a great deal of
money as there are many recreational guns of good quality that are not
expensive. Note that there are also several poor quality markers on the market
so you need to your research before you buy to make certain that the marker that
you purchase is dependable and can be upgraded.
When you are making plans to play in tournaments, determine what type of
tournament that you will be entering. If you are going to play in small
tournaments you may use a less expensive marker or upgrade your old one.
However, in the larger tournaments, you will need an “electro-pneumatic” or a
“blow-forward” gun, which costs a minimum of $350.
The cost of markers depends primarily on the gun’s pressure system as well as
its accessories. The most popular system today is the “carbon dioxide pressure
system” normally used in the less expensive markers.
The primary disadvantage is that usually the carbon dioxide’s performance is
influenced by the temperature outside, and changes from its gas state to liquid
resulting in velocity instability that affects its shooting accuracy.
Serious paintball players use the “high-pressure air and nitrogen system”
markers that are much more accurate because the nitrogen will never liquefy.
Having this characteristic, these markers are more expensive.
Extra accessories also increase the cost of your marker. A loader or hopper is a
very popular accessory. It is a container that feeds paintballs into the gun.
Hoppers are available in many varieties - some are powered and automated. Fast
and lightweight hoppers are more expensive.
Just keep in mind that the any marker that you purchase will not be perfect and
will ultimately have flaws. So when purchasing your marker, always double check
the choices offered and purchase a gun only if you know what you really want.
