Paintball Gear: Just the Basics
 |
You might have heard of paintball, an exciting sport that anybody can start playing. If you want to play, you will need some basic gear first. This article will outline this gear and help you get out the door and start playing.
The first this you will need is a good paintball mask. I mention this first because it is very important from a safety perspective. You do not want to try to use shop goggles or anything else like that while playing paintball. Just stick with certified paintball goggles. It is very important that these goggles fit you well, since you will have to keep them on continuously while playing.
Obviously, you will need a paintball gun in order to start playing. There is a huge variety of markers out there on the market, and covering all of them in this article would be impossible. The best way to go about it is to identify your budget range, and find a marker you like within that price range.
The next thing you will need is an air system. You have two major types of systems to choose from, CO2 and compressed air based systems. Compressed air systems are more expensive, but also much higher performance. CO2 is cheap, and should be considered if you are on a budget. As time goes on, more and more people are going with compressed air systems.
You will also need to a good hopper to hold you paintballs. If you can possibly afford it, get an agitated hopper to prevent jamming. Jammed paintball can chop inside your gun, creating a huge mess and killing your accuracy. Get a motorized, agitated hopper right away.
You will also need many other random accessories, such as squeegees, ball pods and holders, marker repair kits, and many more. Be sure to get a good sturdy set of clothes and shoes for paintball, and be aware that they can stain. Otherwise, though, you are basically ready to play with the gear listed above.
This outlines your basic gear kit to get started playing paintball. Now, all you have to do is get out there, buy some, and start playing! Check by your local or online shop today to start getting the gear you need.
