Paintball Equipment – A Beginner’s Guide



Getting involved with such an exciting sport like paintball really gets the motivation going. Once exposed to the activity, players want to start buying all the paintball equipment they possibly can.


It is wonderful that so many people are getting involved with paintball. The sport has grown in popularity so much that it is now played in over forty countries. International competitions are now taking place every year and professional paintball leagues have been around for a number of years.


Paintball equipment can be expensive to buy. A novice to the game really needs to consider all the options with paintball gear. Paintball guns, or markers, range in price from $100 to $1700. Much of the other gear shares the same discrepancy in cost. In paintball, you do really get what you pay for. In many cases, your level of playing may not be worth an extra couple hundred dollars.


The Whole Ball of Paint


One of the best ways to begin your paintball career is with equipment packages. Retail stores on the street and on the web put together special package deals for first time equipment buyers. There are two different ways the retailers will do this. The first way is with a selected marker, mask, and air tank.


The next, and preferred, paintball package deal allows you to choose the marker and then pay a set price to get the rest of the basic equipment. There are all sorts of packages available, but that gives you a good idea. Any paintball field requires a barrel plug, mask and goggles so


you’ll be ready to play.


Upgrading Equipment Takes Time


When you’ve been playing for some time, it is tempting to upgrade equipment. Playing against all the other competitors, you’ll see all the fancy gear they are carrying around. It is only natural that your paintball gear be just as cool as theirs.


If you are ready for new equipment, talk to those around the field and practice range. The other players will let you try their equipment on for size. Taking it for a test drive will allow you to get to know it before buying more. Use the resources that are available, and then make a decision based on the good information.


Unlimited equipment and supplies upgrades are available for just about every paintball marker on the market. Picking and choosing wisely is the key to getting the most out of the equipment. Buying equipment just because it is new might be waste of time and money. Make sure that the gear is solid before spending good cash on it.


Without a doubt, much of the paintball gear and equipment is why we play the game. Just be sure to get the right equipment to help your game. Check out reviews online and talk to the experts and you’ll get it right. Read more about the gear:
