Author : Peter Gitundu
The recent rise in popularity of paintball has weekend warriors everywhere suiting up and heading out to battle. If you are one of those people, you need to have the best equipment you can buy if you want to take your game to the next level. Choosing from the many types of paintball guns that are currently on the market is one of the first decisions you will have to make.

Forest rangers and farmers have been using paint markers for years to identify hiking trails and wandering livestock. The sport of paintball was invented when those tools became modified to maximize safety and increase firing speed.
Nitrogen or compressed air is delivered to the gun by an attachable tank. When fired, small plastic balls are propelled through the barrel. A colored, water soluble solution is released when the ball impacts the target.
With the first guns produced, the user was forced to cock the gun before every shot just like with a traditional pump action shotgun. In order to increase the pace of the game, these guns were modified so they were more consistent and the user was able to load and shoot at a faster and more constant pace.
There are guns available today that are outfitted with feeders that are semiautomatic or automatic and will rapid fire up to twenty rounds every second. The longer barrels now used have made for improved accuracy. Electronics in the high end guns let you program your fire mode and communicate back to you via an LCD panel.
The weight will be important when you select a gun as will your specific application. Sniper rifles are designed for the ultimate in accuracy but are meant to fire a single carefully aimed shot at a time. Many have magnified scopes to allow you to line up your shot. For a blitz attack, there are automatic models like the AK-47 that is so realistic looking that various members of the military and certain law enforcement groups use them in tactical training situations. Pistols are very compact and are the lightest of the weapons. These can be conveniently carried in a leg holster or pistol vest for easy access.
A basic model is a good purchase for a beginner. Once you get more familiar with the gun you add various accessories to improve performance. You can think about adding a laser sight for better accuracy or a bigger hopper to allow you to carry more ammunition.
It is a good idea to try out as many different guns as you can before you make your final decision. This will give you an idea of what works best for you.
