T68 Gen6 Paintball Marker Buying Guide
If you're purchasing a T68 Gen6 paintball marker, you'll notice there are many options to choose from in drop down boxes below the product. If you are unsure of what to choose or have questions, this buying guide may have the answers you need to help with your decisions.
Buttstock Options: Most T68 Gen6 paintball guns come with the Flexi-air system. This allows you to hold your air tank inside the buttstock of the gun. It also allows for several options of different custom buttstock/tank configurations. Because of the customization factor, T68 Gen6 flexi-air buttstocks carry an extra charge (the price is not already included with the price of the gun); you will see the amounts next to the specific options.
If you choose the "no stock-no air tank" option, please realize this means you are ordering your T68 marker with no buttstock. This option does not mean you will get a standard/stock buttstock; it means your gun will have no stock at all. This option is made available for someone who may already own a stock and is not recommended otherwise.
Another air/buttstock option for the T68 Gen6 is the remote line adaptor. Choosing this option would mean your gun would come with a buttstock that has a plug on its underside to connect a remote line to. This will allow you to attach your marker to an air tank you can carry "remotely" on your back or belt. This option does not, however, include a remote line.
All other options available include the buttstock and specific size air tank that fits inside. The 5oz. + pad option is the only one that does not come with the buttstock, it comes with a small end pad that fits on the back of the tank. The 5oz, 60g CO2 tanks and 3000psi hpa tank comes with the respective tank that fits inside its buttstock. The 45g and 88g disposable CO2 cartridge options include these size tanks, adaptors, and buttstock that fit it. The 12g disposable CO2 cartridge adaptor option comes with the stock and adaptor (not the 12g cartridge itself). This configuration allows you to use a 12g disposable cartridge, 45g disposable and/or 60g refillable cylinders as well.
You may want to decide which tank/buttstock option to get depending on how many shots are offered…. The 12g disposable CO2 cartridge yields roughly 25 shots; while the 88g disposable offers ~80+. The 45g disposable and 60g refillable tanks get less than this, respectively. The best option is the 5oz. CO2 or 3000 psi hpa tank; these are basically the same size (physically), however the 5oz. yields 200+ shots while the 3000psi hpa tank shoots ~100+.
Barrel Options: The T68 Gen6 marker comes stock with a 14 inch barrel. Options include upgrading to a rifled barrel or one that's longer. Rifled barrels contain grooves inside that ‘glide and guide' the paintball down its bore. The result is a straighter, spin-free projection and much more accurate shot. You can also add distance to your shot by adding a longer barrel. Available options allow up to an 18" tactical rifled barrel.
Magazine/Hopper Fed Option: this option is a choice of how you want your paintballs to be fed into your marker when firing. Choose between magazine fed, hopper fed or both with the Splitfire dual feed adaptor. The choice you make will be how your gun is put together. This means if you choose "magazine-fed," you will not be able to use a hopper (or vice-versa). The smartest choice is the Splitfire dual feed adaptor. This is a dial/switch built into the marker that offers feeds for both hopper and magazine. The Splitfire allows you the best of both worlds and the ability to switch back and forth. If you want the realism of a magazine fed paintball marker, you're still better off ordering the Splitfire dual feed adaptor option; this way your gun will work with the magazine but you can always add a hopper later if you want.
O-Rings and Tool Kit: These options supply your T68 Gen6 marker with all the necessary tools you may need to disassemble your marker for cleaning or for adding parts if you want to upgrade. The o-ring kit contains all of the o-rings that fit the T68 Gen6. A bad o-ring is a common, easy to fix problem with all paintball guns eventually; it's always smart to have a few extra.
E-Trigger: The T68 Gen6 tactical paintball gun comes with a standard trigger that offers semi-automatic firing. Choose the electronic trigger option and your T68 will come with a trigger (already installed) that has three different firing modes…semi-auto, three round burst and fully automatic. Since T68 markers are some of the most realistic paintball machine guns, it only makes them that much more realistic (and lethal) to have it fully automatic.
Extra Magazines: The T68 Gen6 comes with one magazine however, you must choose your gun to be magazine-fed or it will be non-functional. If you choose either magazine-fed or the Splitfire dual feed system, your gun will be fed by a magazine that holds 18 rounds. Buying more magazines for your T68 is highly recommended as 18 rounds goes extremely fast when people are firing back at you.
Remote Line: Choosing this option will add a remote line to your order. To use the remote line however, you will have to have chosen the remote line adaptor flexi-air buttstock option. You can also add a remote line with the addition of a product called a 90 degree one way adaptor. This is a small adaptor that fits between the gun and tank/buttstock with a plug that attaches to a remote line. The adaptor acts to switch air over to the remote line as soon as the main tank runs out. If you choose the buttstock + 5oz. or 3000psi tank option, this part is a must as these tanks are small and run out of air fairly quickly. With the 90 degree one way adaptor and remote line attached to a tank on your back, your gun's power source will automatically switch once the smaller runs out.
Extra Warranty: This option will add an extra three years warranty to your T68 Gen6. Adding a warranty to your marker is never a bad idea. However keep in mind all the T68 Gen6 paintball markers come with a five year warranty. Also realize the T68 guns are well put together, sturdy and breakdowns are fairly rare. It's always better to be safe than sorry though; your T68 will last for many years if you take care of it properly. Extra warranty coverage to last as long as your marker does is smart.
Carrying Case: On most T68 Gen6 markers, there are also options of a carrying case/marker bag. Whether you buy one with your gun or get one later, this is a must have. The T68 tactical paintball guns are so realistic, you must keep them covered up while transporting; the police will stop you (and probably confiscate your marker) if they see you carrying it outside of the paintball field. The marker bag is a high quality carrying case that will fit your T68 rifle as well as much other necessary gear. There are also pockets that can hold multiple paintball pods, lines, and gun parts. Other options for the T68 Gen6 are a tactical sling or even a scope. The sling also adds a more realistic tactical look and works excellent to help carry your marker on your body/across your back.

The Brand, the Model and the Features: The Makings of a Good Paintball Gun
Paintball is fast becoming a popular sport for men and women of all ages. It uses special marker guns loaded with paintballs to mark their opposing players. There are many paintball clubs that compete against each other in this new team sport, even holding international competitions for such. Their primary weapon is the paintball gun. There are countless of cheap available paintball guns being sold, but for those who like to get something more respectable, a good quality paintball gun is the only choice.
Because of the many ways and strategies in playing the sport and handling paintball guns, the answer to what really makes a good paintball gun depends on the style and preferences of people when playing the sport. For this reason, a lot of people turn to custom paintball guns. Nevertheless, custom or not, three things must be considered when looking for a quality paintball gun. These are the brand, the model, and the features of the gun.
First of all, a standard indicator of the quality of paintball guns is the brand. Planet Eclipse and Dye are among the most prominent and popular brands of paintball guns that live up to quality expectations. Professional players of paintball usually choose either of these two brands, supporting evidence of its unquestionable standard and quality.
Another basis of quality is the model of the paintball gun which is chosen based on three things: the playing style of the user, the gun's accuracy, and its gas efficiency. For players who want a gun with a faster firing rate, the assault models are recommended since they are best for close range battles with speed as the key component in victory. The sniper models are best for users who prefer stealth and long range shooting over confrontational attacks. To help you decide on which gun to buy, ask help from any professional player. A good suggestion is to try out different models in paintball fields where they let you rent paintball guns before buying your own.
Lastly, a paintball gun's features are added functions and capabilities meant to enhance your shooting skills. In a nutshell, more features to a paintball gun is a positive point for its quality.
Remember, the qualities of a good paintball gun are determined by three factors: brand, model, and features. Know your playing style first to know which type of model is best suited for you.
