Serious paintball players are always on the lookout for the best paintball guns that are both dependable and reasonably priced. When looking for paintball guns for sale there are certain factors that must be taken into consideration.

One of the best ways to get great value when looking for paintball guns for sale is to purchase merchandise online. That being said, it is important to ensure that you cover all your bases, making sure that you get the best paintball gun and accessories possible.

In order to get the best deal when looking for paintball guns, you must know what type of paintball gun you want. When trying to save money, many people look at buying paintball pistols instead of paintball guns since the pistols are much cheaper. 

A paintball pistol is not as accurate as a gun however, and they also run out of paint a lot sooner. When you are looking at paintball guns for sale, it is wise to invest in a paintball gun first. Then later, if you wish, you can add a paintball pistol to your arsenal.

Best Paintball Gun Buys

If you are looking for good quality paintball guns for sale, but you want to spend a little less, consider a metal gun with components that fit together properly. In the economy range of paintball guns, the metal ones last longer than the plastic ones. If you want to go with a plastic paintball gun, you will most definitely want to go for top of the line, and at a much higher price.

When looking for paintball guns for sale online, make sure that you are dealing only with reputable sellers that give precise specifics. Only go with online dealers that have clear contact details listed and they should never be in any way evasive in answering questions. If there is any question, you should take your business elsewhere. It is also important to look for paintball guns for sale from manufacturers that are well-known for quality.

Make sure that the manufacturer of the paintball gun is still actively in the manufacturing business otherwise it will be impossible to get parts and accessories in the future, and a gun that was cheap to buy will become very expensive to replace. With a little research and some common sense it is possible to find excellent deals on paintball guns for sale that are good quality and at affordable prices in the online marketplace.

Speedball Or Woods Ball

You must first define your playing field before you can properly rate a paintball marker, and if you have played both speedball and woods ball, you will understand that while some paintball markers are a good fit for speedball, they definitely don`t make the cut for woods ball. For example, if you are playing speedball, a clean tight field with ample artificial structures, you will need a marker that is light weight, relatively short in length, and can handle a high rate of fire. For this game, paintball markers such as the Intimidator, the Spyder, or the Ego (e.g. the Tippmann Triumph) will do quite nicely.

Woods ball, on the other hand is set in a field rich with rocks, trees, wet ditches and patches of open field, and will require a marker that fires accurately over reasonably long distances and can handle the punishment of being dropped and neglected, as well as covered mud. You will want to invest in a Tippmann A5 or X7 with a flatline barrel for range, and a response trigger for higher rates of fire, or H.E. E-Grip if you plan on never crawling through the mud.

Reliability

The best paintball gun, capable of handling any form of abuse, is the Sheridan VM-68. It may be old but it sure is reliable, and it has a unique mechanism which never breaks. The Tippman with a Flatline, or automag with a ceramic Taso barrel, in my opinion, is one amazing sniper paintball gun. There is nothing worse than having to clean paint from a barrel in the middle of a fire fight. The old automag design with a twist and lock barrel was the best paintball gun with only 5 seconds to switch the barrel, and the old auto cocker design worked well too, with enough brute force to shoot the paint out.

Look, Feel And Weight

My personal preference would be the second best paintball gun. In a nutshell, that reliable but ugly and heavy metal marker will kick any light-weight piece of junk any day and is what you should be going for. After all, the idea is to use the marker, not display it on a stand. A good marker should have scratches and dings, and be covered in dried, crusty paint, and that’s how you tell a player from a poser!
