How to Select Cheap Paintball Guns
By Ferry Suwantoro
Would you care for the value and the quality of paintball safety equipment? Different paintball guns have different features with different prices.
The first you need to compare between different paintball guns. You can borrow markers from your friends and try them on different paintball fields. When playing for recreation, there is really no need to spend a great deal of money as there are many recreational guns of good quality that are not expensive. When you are making plans to play in tournaments, determine what type of tournament that you will be entering. If you are going to play in small tournaments you may use a less expensive marker or upgrade your old one.
However, in the larger tournaments, you will need an “electro-pneumatic” or a “blow-forward” gun, which costs over US $ 200.
The cost of markers depends primarily on the gun’s pressure system as well as its accessories. The most popular system today is the “carbon dioxide pressure system” normally used in the less expensive markers.
The primary disadvantage is that usually the carbon dioxide’s performance is influenced by the temperature outside, and changes from its gas state to liquid resulting in velocity instability that affects its shooting accuracy.
The “high-pressure air and nitrogen system” markers are more used since they are much more accurate because the nitrogen will never liquefy. Having this characteristic, these markers are more expensive.
Extra accessories also increase the cost of your marker. A very popular accessory is a loader or hopper. It is a container that feeds paintballs into the gun. Fast and lightweight hoppers are more expensive.
Just realize in mind that not any marker you purchase will have no flaws So when purchasing your marker, always double check the choices offered and purchase a gun only if you know what you really want.
