Online Paintball Stores
kevin asked:
Online paintball stores offer all the advantages of online shopping in general. They are convenient, well stocked and good value for money. Some people are of the opinion that online shopping is risky and are nervous of making purchases that way. Can the risks be overlooked? Do the advantages of online stores outweigh the disadvantages? What should you look for in a good online paintball store?
Many people still choose to shop at conventional speciality stores, sporting goods stores or general discount retailers for their paintballing equipment in the belief that is the cheaper option. They feel that the shipping charges incurred with online paintball stores will raise the total cost too much.
However, when you work out the cost of travelling to and from conventional stores and stopping at several to make price comparisons,your fuel expense is probably in excess of the shipping costs. This is especially true if you live in a remote area without easy access to a brick and mortar store.
The time factor is also a major consideration. You could spend the best part of half a day to complete a purchase at a conventional store. How much more convenient to browse online paintball stores in the comfort of your own home. Even if you set off to a “real world” store knowing exactly what you want, having done your research first online, you run the risk of it being out of stock when you get there.
One of the biggest advantages of online paintball stores is the large selection of stock available. An online store, furthermore, will not run out of stock. By using a drop-shipping service, online stores do not need to tie up thousands of dollars in stock, nor do they need to pay out to house that stock. The considerably lower running costs of an online business can be passed directly to the customer. This is why online stores are so competitively priced.
The price of shipping can vary across different sites. Shipping costs can also vary according to where in the USA the goods are being delivered , or by the weight of the goods. This can be highly confusing and make a great difference to your total cost. Some online paintball stores offer a blanket shipping rate across the states or even free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. This makes your shopping experience far more straight forward.
Online shopping is a lot safer now than it ever has been. With a number of encryption techniques, your personal and credit card details are secure. There are additional steps you can take to increase your security even further. Most credit cards offer a zero liability rider on their cards for a small monthly fee. Any charges on your statement not authorized by you will be credited back to your card unconditionally.
Online stores can have disadvantages. Most importantly, you can’t handle the goods before you buy. For something as fundamental and costly as a gun, you would be wise to do as much research before hand as possible. Get as much information as you can about a product from the manufacturers website. They will offer comprehensive information and a suggested retail price , but they don’t generally sell direct. You may also want to borrow or rent a gun before you buy online to make sure it feels right for you.
Some online paintball stores have poor customer service or an unclear returns policy. It isn’t necessarily the case that the biggest online stores are the best. They may have lost sight of a customers value because they have become so successful that they don’t need to worry about the customer’s satisfaction. The little store may go further and put itself out more to win over an individual customer.
Similarly, just because a site doesn’t have a high number of ratings, it should not be overlooked. It may be a new store that hasn’t had the high customer count of its bigger rivals. The little guy may be more likely to offer an incentive to new customers and work harder to keep them.
Online paintball stores are well stocked, competitively priced, convenient and safe. A good online store will offer a comprehensive range of paintball equipment and will always put its customers’ satisfaction first.

Paintball Do you Want the Advantage?
Joel pearce asked:
Having the best gear helps having an advantage over your opponent when playing paintball. Little things like lighter vests, goggles, helmets, gloves and of course your gun. If you take your paintball seriously you’ll know what I’m on about. Having lighter gear means more movability, more energy and smarter thinking. But you must choose your gear carefully some paintball gear looks good but in actual fact could slow you down or won’t provide you with the stealth or accuracy you will need to win the game.
How can you tell which gear is right for you. Well it will all be determine by your level of game play if you are a beginner start of with the basic rented gear. Doing this gives you a better idea about the gear associated with paintball. Playing with rented paintball gear for the first time will provide you with information on which things are uncomfortable, to heavy or just won’t fit you right. This is a great way to find out about paintball gear and the way the game is played.
Experienced Players know that paintball guns are an important factor. Prices can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. So let’s talk about paintball guns there are hundreds of different guns on the market but which ones give you that big advantage. Obviously having a lighter gun will increase your moveability but what about the length of the gun barrel? In my opinion the ideal length of your paintball gun should be around 8 to 14 inches having a barrel any longer really doesn’t provide any advantages. It does not give you more accuracy, makes movability a lot harder and of course the gun it self will be heavier. Take your time when finding a paintball gun ask other gamers which gun they prefer best for there style of game.
The right gear can mean the difference of winning and losing but also more importantly safety. Make sure you find good strong safety gear. Your safety gear should fit your body Comfortably having lose paintball gear can be dangerous especially goggles and your helmet. So make sure you find the right gear to protect yourself and give you the best possible advantage over your opponent, but please remember have fun!! Your, not going to win every game, it’s a team sport you can’t win it by yourself.
I wish you and your friends the best on your next paintball game experience and hope you enjoy the adrenaline rush playing paintball provides.

How To Find The Best Paintball Gun For You
Tony B asked:
Paintball is indeed a challenging sport and has recently turned out to be one of the best part-time activities for lots of people who want to experience an exciting outdoor activity.
Once you start playing on a regularly basis, it is better that you purchase your personal safety gear, along with choosing a paintball gun you feel confident with and which will also give you a more enjoyable time.
It is understandable that you may have no idea where to start with, while looking for a gun that shoots straight and fast. There is a lot to choose from, and a lot to know about them, which will be the most suitable for you, and be all you have looked for. So, take your time and do your research well.
It is true that you may hear serious players talk about different ways of choosing a gun, so you can learn from them what make and model is the best, and if that particular mark and model is all they were looking for. You could go to those veteran players that are more than happy to give you a piece of advice, as if there is anything they love talking about, that’s their paintball guns.
You should know from the very beginning that paintball guns may be quite expensive but they are sure worth it, especially if you are really into playing this game. It’s very important to get what you want, or even start with a common gun, and then work your way up to the special gun you want, as you become more experienced.
There are guns that range up to thousands of dollars, so you may want to start with a gun that your feel comfortable to spend your money on. Taking out a loan for this kind of gun is not what I advise you to do, unless there’s someone in your family that would loan you the money.
Think about your style when you start playing it, and when you are out in the open. Paintball is a slow game but, as you become a passionate and regular player, your entire style will change to a more competitive one, and get faster as you see more of a challenge in this exciting sport.
So, you should start looking for a gun designed for speed as well as for performance.
Start surfing the Internet and you’ll find lots of information on makes and models; you could even try reading other’s opinions and reviews on this.
Of course, one way you can really get the feeling of the gun is to actually test it and make sure you ask if you could try it, before you purchase it. What you could also do, is to try your friends’ guns, as there would always be someone that might let you try his gun. Or, you could even rent a gun; ask them about the models, as chances are they don’t have one model only. Rentals usually include better beginner as well as novice models.
Paintball was designed for your fun, and if you remember western movies, we even tried imitating cowboys shooting each other in the movies, and hiding behind trees or rocks. This is the reason they invented paintball, and western movies have been taken to a new, modern level under the form of a game, even if it sometimes hurts.
So, whether you choose to purchase or borrow the gun, it must be comfortable.
In order for you to get the most out of a gun, you need to have a basic understanding of how it works and what you can do with it.
