Paintball guns are also called markers. This name came about because the game of paintball involves marking the player and the term is also non violent.
To start off as a player of paintball one needs to purchase the paintball gun and for that one needs to know a few aspects related to it. The first point or aspect would be the price of the gun. As there are so many price ranges, one has to narrow down the list of
paintball guns to the right suitable price. A large number of high end guns are priced above $200.
Second aspect would be to consider the type of
paintball gun game one would like to start playing. The choice of gun type also will depend on this. If one wishes to play scenario or woodball paintball then guns have to be bought correspondingly.
Third aspect would be the appearance of the gun. One has to decide on the style, colour, camouflage, automatic or semi-automatic. Does one need to adjust the speed settings required in speedball tournaments? Then guns with these features have to be bought.
Next comes the size and weight of the guys. Whether one needs to customize it to enable one hand shooting, or use it for scenario paintball where size and weight are important have to be taken in consideration.
Lastly one can consider buying either a used
paintball marker or a new gun , buying online for best prices or in a store after seeing and feeling it.
