Choosing The Best Paintball Gun

To enjoy a good game of paintball one has to understand the style of paintball that one wants to play. If you are speedballer, The Dye DM series, the new Angels are pretty nice. The Ego is a crazy SOD for a gun. If you are looking for something with a smaller profile the Smart Parts Shocker is a great gun.

There are many guns in the market to choose from and the prices are set higher for a reason. And the price should not be a problem if you truly want the best paintball gun in the world. You cannot rate a marker (paintball gun) without first defining the field. If you have played in both speedball and woods ball games you will understand that while some markers are good for woods ball, they are certainly not the best for speedball.

If you want to play speedball - a clean tight field with loads of artificial structures, you want a marker that is light weight, relatively short in length and can sustain a high rate of fire. For this game an Intimidator, Spyder, Ego (e.g. the new Tippmann Triumph) etc. will do quite nicely.

However if you want to play woodsball - field with trees, rocks, wet ditches and patches of open field you want a marker that will fire accurately over relatively long distances and can handle physical punishment like being dropped, mud and neglect (reflect on the AK-47).

For this game you want a Tippmann A5 or X7 with a flatline barrel (for range) and for higher rates of fire, a response trigger (if you need durability) or H.E. E-Grip (if you never crawl over the mud). These ladies and gentlemen are the makings of the best paintball gun.

Reliability

From experience the MOST reliable marker is the Sheridan VM-68, (the best paintball gun that can handle form of abuse). It's old but reliable, it has a unique mechanism which NEVER breaks

A Tippman with a Flatline or automag with a ceramic Taso barrel; that ladies and gentlemen is one excellent 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 (twist and lock barrel) was the best paintball gun- just switch the barrel in 5 seconds. The old auto cocker design worked will too with all that brute force to shoot the paint out.

Look, Feel and Weight

This is a preference, the second best paintball gun. Here's the bottom line, a reliable ugly, heavy, blocky hunk or metal over some light-weight piece of junk that chops every other ball any day is what you should be going for. You want to be using the marker, not displaying it on a stand. A good marker should have scratches, dried, crusty paint and dings.

That's how you tell a player from a poser. Unless, the anti-chop "vision" system that utilizes infrared "eyes" to sense the balls with its tourney legal and different firing modes and semi automatic. Boasting with the 3-burst, as well as a "rebound" mode which is much like a ramping chip. The quality is impeccable, as well as the performance. On the other hand the Tippman 98 and 1-5 is the best paintball gun, but cost too much to and kind of like the AK47 of the paintball world.

can the hammerhead battle stixx 14" barrel fit on a tippmann x7?

i just bought a Tippman x7 , and im just actually getting into paintballing. i would like to purchase an accurate barrel for my gun and ive heard that the hammerhead is a good barrel.
can anyone let me know if this barrel fits to the x7??
greatly appreciated.

Yes, the hammerhead barrels will work with your X7. Really any barrel with an A5 thread will work with your X7. The Tippmann Straightline barrel is actually a Hammerhead barrel. All the hammerhead barrels use the same rifling process. They just differ in size and appearance. They are expensive but probably the best in the business.

Just Paintball Equipment: A Sure-Fire, Rapid-Fire Experience

Just Paintball Equipment: A Sure-Fire, Rapid-Fire Experience

Playing Just Paintball has come a long way since its conception in 1981. The original game was a capture-the-flag competition - called "Survival" - held by New Hampshirites Hayes Noel, Charles Gaines and Bob Gurnsey. "Survival" made use of rudimentary paintball markers that shot splotches of paint and was played by the three in the woods, with the intention of eliminating each other by 'tagging' them using the simple paintball guns. The game soon became expanded to become a capture-the-flag competition, with Noel, Gaines and Gurnsey adding nine other men to the roster. This time around, the three-hour paintball game, held in June 27, 1971, used other tools such as compasses and maps, to augment the playing experience. People enjoyed the game so much that Gurnsey decided to build the first official paintball field in 1982. Since then, people from all over the United States began to enjoy the game, turning what had been a simple pastime into a specialized sport. Games have ranged from three to-ten man teams with advanced paintball guns fighting to capture the opposing team's flags, to army-level tournaments and world-class professional teams in New York and Japan. The wildly exciting game was even considered in the event lineup for the Summer Olympics.

Today, the engaging activity pioneered by Noel, Gaines and Gurnsey has now become a booming business, attracting many players from America and even throughout the world. Aside from the physical exercise he gets from playing, the paintball sportsman also benefits by improving his teamwork and interpersonal coordination skills. Customization and personalization of the paintball gun, pellets, and other paintball equipment has become one of the major factors in excelling at paintball. It appears that the wise selection of equipment and accessories has become as exciting an endeavor as playing the game itself. Where before, paintball markers were simply small parts of the sport, today, choosing the right paintball gun has become crucial to winning the game.

Paintball guns such as the Spyder, Rap4 and Tippmann Paintball guns have become prized commodities for collectors of paintball guns. These equipment, also known as paintball markers, come in different looks, sizes, and shapes, with different manufacturers catering to different needs. Today, aficionados have become obsessed with obtaining and using accessories for their Tippmann A-5, Spyder Electra, or Tippmann TPX, and spend plenty of time waiting for new RAP4 or Tippmann 98 custom upgrades. Yet all of these retain the same purpose: to serve as tools for playing.

Now, through a world connected by the Internet, paintball aficionados can choose from a globally-wide array of equipment to suit their needs. Just Paintball, a website devoted to the sport, aims to aid the consummate professional in making the right choice for his paintball equipment.
