After a game of paintball it is important to clean your paintball gun or paintball marker as it is also called. The instruction book that came with the gun will help to show you the different parts and how to change these parts. While the paintball guns are made to be very durable, it is common that some of the smaller, working parts may have to be replaced from time to time. And this is a great way to upgrade your parts. 

The paintball guns are designed to be able to up grade so the gun can continue to develop and evolve with the abilities of the players. This will help the player by not having to purchase a complete new gun. There are different barrels for the different type of game scenarios. The sniper paintball gun is a good example. With some of the guns you will be able to exchange just the barrels to change the whole make up of the gun, just by the easy exchange of the barrel. 

The are a lot of the smaller parts that are essential for the proper working of the gun. Just little items such as the o-rings. The manufactures of the guns do not want you on the side lines, not able to use your gun because of a little part that often times will cost less then a cup of coffee. So they try to keep these available and easy to find. The instruction manual will also show which and what is needed to keep the gun ready to use. This will also give a good idea of what can be up graded. 

The paintball gun package is a good choice for the beginning player and the most advanced.For the beginner, parts like to mask and the tanks are often included. But some of the up grades is what the more advanced player will like. Some may include tools, vest and paintball hoppers. All of the packages will differ slightly but most of them will include great up grades. 

Keep in mind if you are new to the game that it is important to use the safety equipment. The masks are important to protect the eyes or course, but also the throat needs to be protected also. While the vest helps to carry different supplies and accessories, it also helps to shield us. Do not forget to wear the pads and clothing so you can enjoy the game.
