Paintball is an activity that appeals to all sorts of people,regardless of age and skill level. Getting the most out of thegame can largely depend on the equipment that is used to playthe game.

Having the best markers and supplies are not the most importantaspects of the game, but they can make the experiencemore enjoyable. From beginner to expert, offers muchof the same interest in the game. Anyone can play even with themost basic guns and equipment.

Choosing the supplies is one of the most daunting tasks for thebeginner. There are many different companies that supply paintball markers and guns. The prices range from $100to almost $2000. How can there be so many differences inpaintball products, and how can they be deciphered?

The novice has a few things to consider:

• Type of games. From the field to the arena, thepaintball game demands different features in the markers. Thefield might require a long range weapon, while speedball entailsfaster shooing capabilities.
• Frequency of play. markers and gear expense canadd up quickly.

  
  
  I've been playing paintball since Nov '08. I started playing with a Singaporean team called the Red Sevens competitively in '09 in the MPOC (Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit) in Division 3 for two legs. In '10 we bumped up to Division 2, in which the format was a Millennium-styled X-ball (Race-to-2, 15 bps ramping). We started doing really well getting a bunch of 1sts, 2nds and 4ths (comparatively to '09).
  
  My sole role for the Red Sevens was to play the snake. I think it's the most fun bunker to play and I love to get in there and move ASAP to the opponents end to shoot people out. If anyone is interested, I'll be arriving in BC on the 9th of Sept and would like to have a flavour for the local scene ASAP! Add me on facebook at Ivan Rickard Liow.
  
  Thanks!]]>
  

  Acquire the equipment and supplies that pertainto its amount of use. Buying the best guns and lettingthem sit in storage is a waste.

• Style of play. Each player has his or her ownstyle of play. Some like to attack with non-stop force, whileothers like to choose their shots wisely. Certain paint markershave benefits that fit a player’s needs. This may change overtime or contingent on the game played.
• Versatility. The best paint guns have one thing in common:upgrades. A good base marker that can be configured as timepasses is the best investment. These markers change asneeded.
• Paintball equipment packages. For the truebeginner, many shops offer package deals. There aretwo ways the packages are assembled. The first is a set package,usually including marker, air tank, mask, goggles, and barrelcover. The other type allows the player to choose any marker andpay a set price for the other equipment in the package. There ismore flexible in choosing the paint gun.

Knowledge really is king in quality equipment. Takethe time to read online reviews and talk to other players at thepaintball field and range. They are more usually more thanwilling to share information and offer a quick test-drive of thesupplies. store are also filled with valuableinformation, as most of the staff will be quite enthusiasticabout and the gear.
