Paintball Gun Parts

Debra Atkins asked:


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.

Sniper Paintball Guns

kevin asked:


Sniper paintball guns are used by recreational players who want a gun that shoots accurately over a long distance. Recreational games are played over large areas including woods and fields.; they have several variants.

Scenario paintball is played in an area which replicates a chosen landscape.

Tactical paintball has a variety of rules and rewards strategic play.

Woodsball paintball is played in a wooded area.

So, what are the features of a sniper marker?

Recreational guns, including sniper paintball guns, have similar internal operations. They are generally dark in colour or camouflaged. They are often designed to look like real guns. They are bigger and heavier than guns used in speedball games.

Sniper paintball guns often have longer barrels than other gun types. To increase the firing distance, some barrels have a texture that causes the paintball to spin. Most barrels have rails on top of them. This allows you to fit a scope so you can have your target in a more precise line of sight. This is ideal for a sniper player covering a long distance.You can also fit a red dot laser light to the rail to add to the realism of the scenario.

Sniper paintball guns should have an adjustable stock allowing them to fit against your shoulder comfortably. The adjustable stock will enable it to be moved into the right position for you. The sniper gun is big and heavy, so it also needs a comfortable grip. Many guns have a pistol grip rather than fit your hand like a rifle. You need to choose a grip that feels right for you.

Sniper paintball guns don’t need big hoppers/loaders or a large air supply. Some players enjoy the classic pump action markers that need to be re-cocked after each shot. Other sniper markers are either fully or semi-automatic enabling you to take repeated multiple shots at your target. Some guns have a ramping feature that switches the gun from one setting to another depending on how you pull the trigger.

Some cartridges can hold 100 paintballs, others may only hold 20 rounds. You need to reload less often with a cartridge that holds a lot of ammo making your reaction time quicker.

One of the most exciting positions in the paintball game is that of the sniper. Game strategies vary with each opponent and their positioning. Good sniper paintball guns make a great difference to a player’s success. Paintball supplies on the market allow you to upgrade any standard paintball marker into a sniper rifle, which is a good way of keeping the costs down.

Paintball Gun Accessories

Debra Atkins asked:


As with almost everything man made, some of the parts for the paintball gun could need to be replaced. Either from common day wear and tear or user abuse. On occasion you may wish to change out several of the accessories. The important thing is most of the superior manufactures make this an simple procedure. With including the tools along with the purchase of the gun, to selling them separate, even the replace parts, accessories and upgrades may be bought. The fun thing is virtually all of us would upgrade. That is one way to take the game up the next level. 

The barrels are a fantastic way to replace a part and convert the whole style of the marker. For example, the A-5™ from Tippmann. The standard gun barrel length is 8.5 inches. This may be exchanged with a A-5 Flatline™ Barrel. This upgrade is a way to gain range and accuracy, while stops the need of arching your shot. The patented technology

from Tippmann produces the backspin forming the level and precise shot each paintballers work for, also that increases distance by 100 feet. Also there is the A-5 Sniper 14 inch gun barrel. Manufactured for better accuracy and longer distance over the standard barrels. There is also the A-5 Sniper 16 inch gun barrel as well. This is merely to give you an idea of how many accessories will be accessible. The A-5™ has a great choice of gun barrels, but we haven’t yet talked about the alternatives of different shrouds, tanks, triggers, and each of the small parts like o-rings.

The paintball marker manufactures would not be pleased if you was not using with a paintball gun merely because of a small piece that cost less then a cola was preventing you from playing the sport or even uglier yet, bad mouthing their merchandise.

The paintball gun package might be of very good aid to the purchasing of paintball equipment and accessories. Virtually all of the packages could be great for the novice or the beginner. Each of the packages can and will vary. With the addition of a mask and the gas canisters, that is wonderful for the novice.

Needs of a Paintball Sniper

Paintball Sniper asked:


What do you need in order to be a successful paintball sniper? You have basic personality needs, equipment needs, and the proper strategy. All of these combined will give you the tools you need to become a paintball sniper but you will have to put all of these together on your own to really be triumphant.

First you need to make sure you have the basic traits needed to be successful. You need to be patient. There are many matches that will have you stuck in positions for long periods of time before the perfect shot comes into focus. You will also be playing alone for the most part so you should be comfortable being in that role. This really can take out some of the basic fun of paintball which is the camaraderie but if you can get through this then you will be ahead of the game. You also have to be a confident paintballer. You will be waiting for long periods of time by yourself waiting on the perfect shot and you need to be sure that you can make it when the time comes because you usually only have that one shot.

You will not need much extra equipment other than your basic paintball needs. You will of course need a marker (gun) if you do not already have one. Most guns shoot the same distance because of industry guidelines keeping the speed of the paintballs exiting the barrel at less than 300 feet per second. So it is more important to find a marker that is comfortable to you so you can be your most accurate and consistent when the times comes for the shot. If you do have a marker you are comfortable with then you can simply purchase a paintball sniper kit that can convert your marker into a paintball sniper gun or buy the sniper gun parts separate such as a barrel or scope. You can get a paintball sniper barrel that will put more backspin on the paintball and slightly increase range but it is very difficult to increase range and not lose accuracy. You also need to match the paint you use to the barrel. A paintball sniper scope can also help some. High powered scopes are mostly useless in paintball because the markers will not have the range to make good use of this type of scope. I prefer a simple red dot scope cause of its ease of use and effectiveness at short and long range. Clothing can also enhance your effectiveness as a paintball sniper. One of the main keys to being a great sniper is stealth and a good camouflage outfit can greatly decrease your visibility. Some paintball snipers prefer a ghillie suit which are the best but can be pricey but you can do about the same with a camouflage suit that matches your surroundings. All of this equipment will help but will mean nothing if you don’t use your head.

Thinking through the match calmly, using your teammates, and having the proper strategy are the attributes that will separate you from the rest of the paintball snipers. Some of these you will have already and some you may have to develop. You need to be able to find a good hiding spot where you can be comfortable. Then you need to be able to use your teammates to help in putting targets in the proper position to get a good shot. You will also have to use your head to know when it is the proper time to take the shot. If you are lacking in one of these areas, practice time can help you get better. Practice will make you comfortable with your surroundings which will calm you down and allow you to use your teammates to implement the strategy you are using.

Be patient once you find a hiding spot (your suit will hide you), use your teammates to implement your strategy (always be thinking), then use the proper equipment and be confident that you will make the perfect shot at the perfect time and make that one shot kill.

Sniper Paintball Gun

Debra Atkins asked:


 

Out of all the position in the sport of paint ball games, one of the interesting and demanding is the position of the paintball sniper. The use of speed, agility and stealth to hide, track and shoot from a long range gives the position of the sniper very interesting aspects. With patience and practice, along with using the proper equipment, you will become a trained sniper. Sneaking around, hiding and then ambushing your opponent can lead to a whole lot of fun. Learning to use the proper equipment and your surroundings can be a little bit more difficult then you might first think it would be.

 

The most important piece of equipment in the sniper scenario is the paintball sniper gun. The barrel is longer in length. When Tippman Paintball Gun introduced the .68 Caliber 22 Inch Super Barrel, the sniper role just got a little more enjoyable. This sniper barrel is designed for the quite stealth that is needed for the role. The holes in the end of the barrel helps to keep the opponent from hearing you or your gun. Also important is the weight of the gun. If you are to be stationary and hold the gun in the same position for and extended amount of time, the weight is a big issue. You do not need to be shifting the gun around, moving to give away your position. Also if you are running, the weight of the gun will be an issue also.

 

It is a good idea to know your playing field. If it is the first time at the field, try to get there early and walk through the area. This knowledge will help to determine the paintball accessories you may need such a clothes, gear or any other paintball supplies you may need. You will want to blend in with the surrounding so the choice of clothing is important. If you will be stationary or moving around quite a bit may determine if you will need knee pads, elbow pads or such items. Make certain with the opposing team about the rules. It makes for a better game if both teams know the rules and there is no conflict later. For example, are both teams to use certain equipment like the paintball grenades or the land mines. Keeping the equimpent on both sides even makes for a better game.

 

Also, in the role of the sniper you will be seen or caught. Use each time to evaluate the hows and why you was caught. What could you have done to prevent this? Would simple things like a different color outfit for that terrain have helped? Was it some small movement of your body that caught the attention of the other team? Was a part of your body exposed? Would simple things like the knee or elbow pads have made you more comfortable and therefore not moved to have been caught? Would a vest that holds more supplies and accessories have helped?  Not many people are what is called natural born snipers so take a few minutes to determine why you was caught and what can be done to prevent it next time.  It takes the trail and error to become a skilled sniper, so have fun, learn as you go and enjoy the game.

Is a Paintball Kit or a Paintball Package right for you?

Paintball Sniper asked:


If you are thinking about buying a paintball kit to upgrade the paintball marker or gun you currently own then you need to also consider buying a paintball package instead. It may end up being less expensive in the long run. But  we better first explain the differences between a paintball package and paintball kit  so you can make the best decision for you.

A paintball package usually comes with most of the equipment you need to start in your adventure. It will have a marker or gun to the non-PC crowd, and depending on which package you choose, can come with paintballs, a vest, a holster, maybe a mask or goggles, and even possibly a grenade launcher. The kit are usually specific and will have all of the extras for that type of kit but does not come with a paintball marker. For example, you can purchase a kit to make your marker look like AK-47 paintball gun. It would come with an extended magazine,  a barrel kit, the wood kit, and usually a vest or some paintballs. It will not however include the marker.

Now let’s discuss whether the paintball package or the paintball kit is the best choice for you. The whole paintball package will be the obvious choice if you are just starting out and do not have a marker or if your marker is old or damaged. If you have a marker and just want to upgrade it to specialty weapon, such as a paintball sniper gun, then you first need to make sure that your marker is compatible with the kit you want to purchase. There are many different manufacturers of markers and some of them are only compatable with their own kits. The good news is that if you have a versatile marker then you can get kits to make your gun into most any type of weapon from a paintball sniper gun, to an assault rifle or even an M-16 depending on what you like. The versatility of some markers will allow you to try different things such as being a sniper one day or using a machine gun the next. But remember that  you will need to purchase the whole package if your marker is not compatible or if it  is not in the best condition.

You are the best one to judge the condition of your current gun. You need to decide if age and condition will be a factor. You may just be at a point where you are ready to invest in a better paintball marker. If your marker is old or has rust on it or if you are just ready for a better weapon then I suggest  you get a package. The main reason is that you will spend less on the marker by purchasing it with a package than by purchasing a kit now and then trying to replace your marker at a later date.
