Paintball Supplies Are A Great Way To Improve Your Game

Paintball is super safe. The only necessary paintball supplies you need are goggles. Don't play without them because if you do, and are hit in the eye, you can go blind. That is why along with your paintball marker, goggles are the only other piece of equipment the game requires. It’s important to have goggles that are comfortable and well-fitting and don’t fog up.

Style is secondary. You may want a more intimidating look, which can be achieved by covering your entire head with a tactical helmet. This can be complemented with other paintball supplies and paintball accessories. Colors and crazy styles also convey a more intimidating appearance and will make your opponents quiver in their boots. Jerseys and gloves can also add to this. Once you feel like your paintball accessories are coming together, you can look at add-ons for your gun.

A rifled barrel can help your gun look cooler, but you also want to look at paintball accessories that make your gun lighter and shoot faster. Scopes are a great idea, as are muzzle brakes and silencers. The best thing about paint ball is that there’s always room for improvement, and new paintball supplies can help to step your game up.

Investing In Your Paintball Game

If you are just getting started with paintball or you’re a seasoned vet, you probably know that when it comes to paintball guns, Tippman paintball guns are some of the most reliable. The Tippman A5 is a semi-automatic and shoots 15 balls per second. You can find it for around $200, but that’s just the beginning. If you want to make your paintball marker more extreme it might be good to look at sniper paintball guns. Buying a sniper kit can be a great investment, or you can buy the barrel itself for a bit less money. In any case, upgrades are a great way to step up your game.

Smart Parts is another excellent paintball gun company and makes paintball markers designed for tournament competition. These guns are lightweight, get excellent gas usage and come with interchangeable kits to upgrade or change your paintball guns style and color. Although more expensive, guns like the Smart Parts NXT Shocker are extremely accurate and fast, making their use in competitions a no-brainer.

Like most investments, your returns are equal to what you put in. If you buy a more expensive gun or invest in a sniper kit, you will reap the rewards on the field.

Build Your Own Paint Ball Field!



If you love paintball, then you probably have your own paint ball guns and you probably go to paint ball fields. But if you already have a bunch of friends with their own paintball guns, and some paintball supplies, you don’t have to pay extra to go to a paint ball field, you can build your own.

Not only is this cheaper, but it also allows you to learn the space you’ve constructed and add to it for more and more adventure. To get started, all you need is a big field, or maybe even some woods, which at least one of your paint ball loving friends should have in their backyard. Depending on how heavily wooded your field is, you can improvise with more flat pieces of wood, or even by digging ditches and foxholes. Using rocks and trees you can provide shelter and build barricades and if you want you can buy some dirt and create mounds that you can hide behind. And if you have any other ideas as to how to improve your field, get creative!
