Keeping In Stock: Paintball Supply
Riley Hendersen asked:
Paintball has become a hugely popular sport, and so it only makes sense that with the dramatic increase in participants and increased demand for equipment, that there would be an increase in paintball supply to cater to this growing market. Paintball supply is a general term that is equivalent to “paintball store” or sponsor. A paintball supply is a store, either physical or online, where one can get any type of supplies needed.
Many paintball supply places will often times have a “package deal” for those just getting into the sport. This can include a gun with ammonition, goggles, or any collection of equipment needed by anyone before going out to join a paintball game. Part of what makes a paintball supply useful is not only do they offer equipment at every level of pricing, from the cheapest paintball markers to the most expensive ones, but paintball markers can often be upgraded in many ways: the barrel, the air tank, the ammo holder, the sights, all of these things can be changed and upgraded, and a paintball supply will have all the necessary parts, pieces, and experience to do so.
A paintball gun package is not a bad way for a beginner to start off, if the beginner has done enough work to have a vague idea of what they want. The paintball guns often come with gravity-fed hoppers ranging from a hundred rounds and up (and know your style: if you are a sniper, don’t pay an extra $20 for a hopper that holds another 100 rounds of ammo). Paintball supply places will have experts to help you out, but that can only be so helpful. You have to have a basic idea of what you’re looking for or how deep your interest is, and beyond that don’t discount an expert’s advice too quickly. They can save you a lot of grief.
Paintball supplies such as barrels, goggles and safety gear, ball hauling, loaders, gun accessories, clothing and apparel, and even odd ball odds and ends such as paintball mines are often available from a paintball supply. Much of this can be bought online, though if you have a paintball supply in your area, you should visit the store in person, especially if you are a newbie.
A paintball supply is also likely to be the local hang out for individuals who are really into the paintball scene in general. This can help teach you the lingo, you can listen to what products are really impressing, and which ones are falling flat. These players will also have an idea of any major events going on in the area, or might even know about some great get together or paintball fields you didn’t even know existed. If nothing else, it never hurts to absorb wisdom from the experts, so that you will know what you are doing and have more confidence as you go further and further into the paintball world.
A paintball supply is a place that can serve all your needs, both for equipment, and for camaraderie. Don’t dismiss it off hand, because you never know what that one afternoon trip to the paintball supply could turn into.

Paintball Gear and Accessories
tracy james asked:
The sport of paintball has evolved in the last ten years with the creation of new high tech guns and paintball gear. The most recent paintball gear revolution started with the creation of paintball armor which was lead by a company called Field Armor. In the past major manufacturers targeted the professional players and suited them up with pretty colorful gear including a multi-colored jersey, reinforced pants and tricked out markers. A recent shift came from nonprofessional players that needed great gear alternatives for woods ball. The woods ball and scenario games circuit used a different state of mind when playing the same sport. Instead of bright and colorful outfits there was just the opposite. Dark colors including black and camouflage patterns were soon being developed and incorporated into production lines of major retailers.
Paintball Gear Innovations
With the fall off of the recent economy many of the smaller manufacturers have been bought out by several larger retailers and their product lines fused into their already massive and dominant arsenals. The creative minds and innovative changes needed to keep the sport thriving and competitively different has faded into a Wal-Mart style of business structure. A handful of manufacturers now own almost every small paintball gear and supply company. They try and make the consumer think that they are buying a great quality and unique product from a brand that has been out on the market since the early days of paintball but that concept is far from the truth and the originators of that brand have been bought out and retired a long time ago. New innovative products made by small companies can barely make the new products sections of many of the paintball magazines and web sites due to the fact that the big manufacturers dominate ad revenue in these publications thus get the lion’s share of the reviews and free press areas.
Paintball Discounted Supply
The paintball supply companies that dominate the market do make good products and have creative advertising ploys but lack projecting the truth of the matter to the consumer. When it comes to protection from getting welted the word is hush, really, hush, keep it down and don’t let the parents think this sport can be dangerous. The truth of the matter is that jelled projectiles are shot out of guns sometimes only a few feet from one another. Some fields have standards of a ten foot rule while others prefer fifteen feet. Even at ten feet if a ball or many balls the size of a large marble is travelling at 100 miles per hour there is a great chance you will get hurt. Some advanced players on a budget will layer their clothes with three shirts, a sweat shirt and a towel wrapped around their necks. Of course they look ridiculous but at the end of the day they walk away sweaty but not bruised up.
The All In One Paintball Vest
One particular small company that has been on the front lines of paintball protection since day one is Field Armor. The Field Armor armored exoskeleton jumpsuit is a light weight military style fully accessorized combat suit similar to that of Iron Man but without the jet packs. The suits are extremely light and flexible with many hidden pockets and ammo holders. Fields across the globe have outfitted their fields with these protective armored paintball suits to protect their customers young and old so they can have a fun and exciting paintball experience without getting hurt. Innovating sleek designs have attributed to Field Armors longevity and dominance in the paintball armored gear forum. Every major paintball magazine worth buying has published amazing articles on Field Armors incredible product line. This year a new innovative fully armored paintball vest was introduced that also came with sleeves to convert it into an armored jacket for the winter. This new design offers 85 percent protection from the neck to the waist unlike the other larger manufacturers that sell paintball vests that are lightly armored and only have 40 percent protection. If you need added protection Field Armor even has a armored accessorized paintball pant in several colors and camouflaged patterns. When it comes to paintball, Field Armor takes the pain out of paintball. See their web site for video and reviews from major paintball publishers.
