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.

Troubleshooting The Spyder Imagine Paintball Marker
Amy Wells asked:
In spite of the fact that the Spyder Imagine paintball marker is extremely popular, there are some minor problems that most Spyder markers and paintball guns tend to have. For the most part these problems are easily fixed. In many cases you can even fix the problem while still on the playing field.
If your Spyder Imagine paintball marker locks up on you during play, you have probably broken a paintball in the chamber. You can easily fix this by laying the paintball marker on a flat surface with the barrel hanging off and pointing downward. Give the barrel a good whack and it should come loose. If you are on the field and do not have a good surface to use, you can try jarring the **** of the paintball marker against the ground or other surface to loosen the broken paintball.
If you are playing on the field and find that your paintballs keep breaking, there may be some adjustments needed to your paintball gun. Some of these adjustments may be done on the field, while others will need to be done somewhere comfortable and where tools are accessible.
First, the velocity may be set too high on your gun. Check the velocity settings to make sure something didn’t get bumped. Next, check your power feed plug, because if it is not straight up and down it is probably your reason for breaking paintballs.
Finally, a leak down the barrel is one of the most common problems with Spyder paintball guns of any style. There are a few things that you can do to fix this problem both on and off the field. You should keep some tools in your paintball gear bag to make sure that you are prepared for these types of repairs on the field.
A couple of easy possible fixes for a leaky barrel will be to clean or tighten up the cup seal. Another possible fix is to check the valve guide for bending. If it is bent, bend it back for the time being and plan on buying a new one in the near future. For these repairs you will need to take apart the valve assembly, which is fairly easy but can be time consuming. If you are doing this on the field you will need to have someone cover you while you disassemble and reassemble your paintball marker for these repairs.

3 Paintball Skill To Master
Chris Abro asked:
Paintball has consistently prevailed as the fourth major unconventional sport in the U.S. In fact, statistical reports say that there are almost 12 million paintball players worldwide with 104 countries participating in various paintball competitions. This shows that more and more people are enticed to play this game.
However, it does not necessarily mean that the game is easy. Most of the players contend that they have experienced many trials, hardships, failures, and defeat before they were able to master the game.
Experts insist that playing paintball, just like the other kinds of sport, needs some skills in order to win the game. These skills are the primary tools that every paintball player must try to learn. Once they have mastered these skills, winning the game is relatively simple.
The 3 Skills:
1. Basic stance
The problem with most players is that they tend to face the bunker whenever they are standing next to it. This is such a difficult stance because it will give the player inadequate balance and a time-consuming response.
The best way is to stand behind the bunker with the foot that is opposite with the paintball marker or gun in lead. For instance, if a player holds the marker with the right hand, the left foot should be in lead.
2. Trick shot
It is important for every paintball player to know the psychological aspect of the game. This means that the player must know how to think and act appropriately according to the possible actions of the other players.
Therefore, fire some “trick shots” in an area where the other player is probably hiding. It does not necessarily mean that firing too many shots creates advantage. The object of this skill is to create a ploy that will instigate the player to respond in return if ever he is really in that area.
3. Run and Shoot and Run
Like any person in a battle, it is best to master this type of skill in order to achieve the best action and win.
The problem with most players is that they continue to hide thinking that they can win because they remain invisible to their opponents. The point is that a player can never win if he does not try to eliminate his opponents.
Mastering this skill will definitely give every player an edge over the others.
In every activity, there is an equal skill to master. Mastery of these skills will ensure that the player can win the game.
