Paintball Gun Reviews and Buying Guide:The most important piece of paintball equipment you need is a gun. The good news is there are plenty of gun manufacturers to choose from including Spyder, Tippmann, Angel, Ion, Dye, and Empire. Spyder makes the best guns - Spyder Pilot ACS 05 ($159), Spyder Imagine 04 ($108), Spyder Fenix ACS ($233), Spyder Imagine LED ($108), and Spyder Electra ACS 05 ($264). The Electra is our favorite with "30 BPS capability with the 2.0 Rocking Trigger and ACS bolt". Other Spyder paintball guns include the TL-X ($79), Rodeo ($100), and Xtra ($73). Tippmann is a premiere manufacturer of high performance paintball guns and accessories. A Tippmann paintball gun is one of the most durable and reliable guns you can buy. The newest Tippmann models include the 98 line (Custom Vertical Feed, custom Electronic, and Custom Response Trigger), the A-5 line (A-5, XP A-5 Power Pack, A-5 Electronic, A-5 Response Trigger, A-5 Stealth), the Stealthline (98 Sniper, 98 Response, 98 Nitro), and the Pro-Team a-5 line (A-5 Sniper f/x, A-5 Sniper f/x Deluxe, A-5 Ranger f/x, A-5 Elite f/x, A-5 Commando f/x). The Tippman paintball guns cost from $100-$500.
What's the difference between a paintball marker and paintball gun?The terms "paintball marker" and "paintball gun" are interchangeable. However, the term marker is generally preferred due to negative connotations attached to the word "gun". Top paintball markers are 32 Degrees, AR-1, BT-Markers, Diablo, Indian Creek Designs, Raven, Paintball Pistols, and Psycho Ballistics. If you want help in learning about the top paintball markers and how to use them, we suggest buying a paintball video that goes over all the skills you will need. You can get paintball videos online at 800Paintball.com.Cost of a Paintball Game:Playing a game of paintball can cost between $30-$100 a day. First there is the paintball field fee - typical fees are $25. Next is the biggest expense, paint. Usually paint fees are $4-$5 for a hundred paintballs. Some places make you use their paint and charge up to $8 a hundred. Depending on where you live, you should be able to find a discount paintball field where air refills are free and you can bring your own paint to cut down on expenses. Most places will rent paintball guns if you don't have one. Make sure you get a full rundown on how the paintball gun operates before entering the playing field.
Paintball Supplies, Equipment and AccessoriesThe game of paintball is not cheap as mentioned above. You need to consistently buy paint to refresh your paintball supplies. You can get 500 paintballs for roughly $12-$15. Air tanks are required to power the gun to shoot the paintballs and a DYE Throttle Preset HP Bottle is $227. Other paintball accessories equipment include pads, goggles, masks, lenses, tubes, grenades, barrels, plugs, and gun parts. With the increase in popularity of paintball games, we have seen some of our friends shovel out $1000 or more for supplies. The best place to get discount paintball supplies is at Xpaintball.com.
