Buying Paintball Guns Online

Neo asked:


If you are planning to buy paintball guns on the internet, there’s a chance that you have previously owned a paintball gun and already have a model in mind, but are hesitant to buy it. This article offers an overview of some of the most popular online paintball gun shops and what to keep in mind when buying paintball guns online, along with some advice to help you determine whether or not you should actually buy paintball markers them online.

Why online?

The biggest advantages when buying paintball guns online are the pricing of the goods, the availability of customer reviews and large selection. The biggest disadvantage is quite obvious – you can’t fire the actual item before you make the purchase, but online shops usually have other disadvantages – your selected shops can have a lousy customer service or a messed up return policy which will leave you wondering why you chose their service in the first place.

The most popular shops.

Most of the online shops have some shortcomings e.g. the markers are cheap in one shop, but the accessories (gas canisters) aren’t; still, all of the shops below are trusted, and unless you want a used gun from eBay, you should buy the gun from one of these retailers.

Action-Village.com – one of the best sites in terms of customer service. They ship almost instantly and most of the customers are 100% satisfied. Also, they are proud that they are one of the rare shops that ship to distant places like Alaska.  The prices meet the market standards, but don’t forget to google search for coupons if you are planning on shopping there.

Paintball-online.com – since 1995, paintball-online.com is one of the biggest players in the market. Their offers are indeed one of the greatest online; however, they tend to compensate this with overpriced shipping, which puts them on one line with the other shops in this list. The customer service is also top-notch, and the shop is a prime choice for any paintball equipment, not only paintball markers.

Garots.com – although the link leads to what is actually a sub-section of the larger site, Garots.com, their offers are fine and offer exceptionally fast shipping, together with sets and on-the-fly product reviews. Definitely a top choice.

Overall, the risk is very small when shopping in these shops and unless you have an eye on a marker that resides in a local store, there is no reason why you shouldn’t get the weapons online. The best thing when shopping online is that you don’t have to rely solely on the vendor’s opinion, which, in times, can be a big fat lie. Now go get yourself a solid marker, some beer and paintballing buddies, and enjoy the thrill and the joy that playing paintball brings.

Buying a Paintball Gun

Jason Whitney asked:


Paintball Marker

Paintballing wouldn’t really be much fun without the gun, but

they can be kind of costly. You could always go for the

Wal-mart guns, but the majority of those are not-so-good quality; on

the other end, you have custom paintball guns, made exactly

to someone’s specifications,but they are too expensive for

anyone except a pro player. So how do you find the perfect

paintball gun?

The first thing to do is to determine what’s perfect for

you.

If you are new to paintball, buy a cheaper paintball gun. You

can always upgrade it when you need something different. Most

paintball markers are easy to upgrade.

If you are a more experienced player or even play tournaments you

need a marker with more features. You should have a gun that fits

the type of player you are: do you play in front, are you a

sniper or a cover player? The type of player you are

determines the size, weight and features of your gun. A

sniper doesn’t have to have a large hopper or big air supply, while a cover player usually does. A

front player needs a paintball marker that’s easy to handle and lightlightweight,

while a sniper might prefer a longer barrel with a scope.

Some people would rather use a paintball pistol than a

longer gun, whereas other people would rather have rapid-fire semiautomatic

and automatic paintball guns.

Let’s say you are a beginner and you want to buy an inexpensive

paintball gun. Where do you go?

The first option would be a paintball shop in your city The problem is that your only source of information

in a shop is the owner and I don’t say all owners are biased, but a lot of them are.

The second option is buying online.The worst thing about buying

paintball guns online is that you don’t really

see what you’re getting until the item is sent to you.

This is specifically true on online auction sites like Ebay.com.

Instead of purchasing on Ebay it’s better to buy your gun at

a specialized online paintball store like Actionvillage.com

Keep an eye out for the too good to be true deal; it

usually is. You should make certain you

have a money-back guarantee.

Also check out the different paintball packages on the Internet.

Paintball packages come with all the basic gear you need for your games, and they usually come at a pretty good price.

Most paintball packages include a paintball gun, mask, hopper, CO2 tank, squeegee and barrel plug.

Paintball Guns: Using The Internet To Buy

Steve McCarty asked:


Using the internet as a shopping portal is becoming more and more popular as each day goes by. While there are some things that you will never want to buy online, there are others that are quite popular. One of these items is paintball guns. Over the past few years, paintballers have found that they can buy everything that they need without ever having to leave home. And of course, buying paintball supplies online also means that you will have a large selection to choose from as well as the ability to take advantage of the lowest possible prices.

The main reason that most people do not buy paintball guns online is that they do not know where to start. And since they are not familiar with buying online, they are a bit scared at what they will run into. In other words, they think they will order a spyder paintball gun but end up with a tippmann. While it is possible to make mistakes when shopping online, if you take your time the chances are next to none.

Here are three basic tips to keep in mind when shopping for a paintball gun online.

1. Take your time to search through all of the available listings. Remember, some of the best paintball gun sites have many makes and models for sale. Search them all so that you know the details of each gun.

2. Consider the return policy before you buy. Although you will probably have no problems, you never know what could happen. It is always nice to have the peace of mind of knowing that you can return your paintball gun if need be.

3. Since all paintball guns are priced differently, shop around to make sure that you get the best price. This may take some time, but if you are going to save money it is well worth it.

If you are in the market for a paintball gun, use the internet to shop for the perfect one. You will be glad that you did when you find yourself in the heat of battle!

My opinion on the best paintball guns for the price is the Smart Parts Ion, Tippmann A-5, and the Spyder Pilot ACS.
