I’m very impressed with the collection of sniper paintball guns on your website, but I’m new to paintball.  I was a sniper for the police department from 1984 - 1997; retired but now I just want to have fun.  The T68 is a great looking rifle but how well does it react?  What’s the distance I can get with a calm day?

The T68 models are some of the most realistic military replica paintball markers on the market right now; there are many snipers in this line as well. The T68 is magazine fed and also has an option called the ‘SplitFire’ that offers both magazine and hopper feed.  They also offer the option of a ‘Flexi-air’ buttstock system; this allows you to carry the gun’s air tank inside the buttstock, making your tactical marker look that much more realistic.  One thing you should realize about paintball markers…. most paintball guns start losing accuracy after 250-300 ft. - no matter what gun you’re using. You can turn the velocity up on most guns and this helps you get a bit farther; you may also get a bit farther with a sniper but beyond this don’t expect to have real precision with a paintball gun.  It’s because you’re shooting a round ball rather than a bullet.  Many of the sniper guns we carry have rifle scopes on them; honestly, the scopes can see much farther than the gun can shoot.  As far as the way a sniper paintball marker ‘reacts’…. there are generally so many variables with the equipment itself - paintballs that are not ‘fresh’, warped, have moisture or react to different environmental temperatures; whether or not the barrel on your gun is rifled, etc.  Since you’re not going to get anywhere near the precision with a paintball sniper gun than you would with a real sniper rifle; most players don’t have much to say about how their gun reacts on a calm day.

The T68 M4 Carbine Sniper paintball gun is rigged for the serious paintball sniper.  It’s 18″ tactical rifled barrel and Gem Tech Silencer give you serious control for long-range attacks.  Add an electronic trigger so you can pick off opponents one by one or spray them with an automatic barage of paint!  Use the powerful 9 x 32 sniper scope to hone in on precise, pin-point targets from long distance.  The scope is mounted with the well-designed sidewinder scope mount - giving you plenty of room to dial in your scope while wearing your paintball mask.  The T68 M4 Carbine sniper also comes with an RIS bipod attached to the realistic M4 handguard.  Just like all T68’s this gun is magazine and/or hopper fed and comes standard with the Flexi Air System; which means it will accept all types of air sources, including standard CO2 and HPA tanks or remote line setups.  This gun is also very reasonably priced at www.choicepaintballguns.com.

The answer to this question depends on several factors… what you want your sniper to look like, what you want it to do and how much you’re willing to spend.  Of course the sniper paintball markers that cost the most generally have the most ’stuff’ stuck to them and will obviously be able to do more.  For example the T68 Gen6 Extreme Sniper comes with a Phantom Thunger grenade launcher but this one goes for around $900 - it’s a top-end gun with many available options.  Since sniper paintball guns are basically different brand name paintball guns with sniper attachments, your decision should be based on which type of gun do you like to shoot the best….. Tippmann 98, Spyder, BT, Tippmann X7, Tippmann A5 and of course the T68.  Beyond this, it’s a decision about how long you want your sniper barrel, what kind of barrel, what kind of buttstock you want, how powerful of a scope or any other things you can mount on it to make it more rad.   I personally like the way the Tippmann X7 sniper paintball guns look and shoot, but it’s all up to you.  You can’t ignore the realism of the T68 having the capability of using a magazine and/or hopper.  The Alpha Black sniper is also a great looking marker.  After you’ve decided on what type/brand of gun you want to make your sniper, here are a few things you must have to make sure your sniper paintball marker is the baddest-ass paintball war machine on the planet….
You definitely want your sniper paintball gun to have a flexi-air buttstock; this will re-route your gun’s air so you can put your CO2/hpa inside the buttstock.  There is also a little valve you can buy (called a 90 degree One Way Valve Adaptor) that will also allow you to switch right to a larger tank as soon as your gun’s tank is empty.  I would also outfit my sniper with a 45 degree Swivel Bipod; this way you can turn your paintball gun and not have to pick up your bipod to point at a different target.  As a sniper, I like the one shot, one kill idea, but I would still equip your sniper paintball marker with an electronic trigger just in case your target starts to get to close or there’s many targets close together.  A good scope to use is any of the Red Dot Sights/Scopes or a 3-9X40 Rubber Armor scope will do the trick.  I would recommend the new Rubber Armored Mark III Tactical with Laser; this way you will have a great scope + a laser already mounted to it, it also has a quick release mount.  Finally, just make sure you use a tactical rifled barrel; these are the latest in tactical paintball gun barrels…. a good one is the Flute Sniper Barrel.  You can find all of these sniper accessories on our site as well as many sniper paintball markers that already comes with everything we’ve mentioned.

Here are a few more general tips to follow that will help you better learn how to hunt the human animal in the Paintball jungle.
Stalking. Learn how to stalk. No, I’m not talking about harassing people by following them around.  Stalking is the art of tracking the prey until the best moment and then, when all the possible advantages are with you, taking the shot.  An exercise you can do to learn the technique is to pick out a player on the opposite paintball team and do whatever you can to eliminate that player.  This difficult task will show you how to find and plan taking the shot at the proper moment.

Teamwork- Although the ethic of the Hunter doesn’t require teamwork, you would be a fool not to use it to your advantage.  Also, you may find other Hunters out there to hunt with.  Teammates and flags can be used as bait to draw out your prey.  The Hunter has little use for flags, but the teams will focus on it and it can be used as irresistible bait for an ambush.  Another successful hunting technique is to use your teammates to flush out the other team and move them toward your position.

Equipment- Any type of Paintball gun can be used by the Hunter, but the best type should be a semi or pump with good long range accuracy. The high rate of a semi comes in handy with multiple targets, but a pump has the advantage of better accuracy. Both types require some sort of sights to be used, as all shots should be well aimed. Hunting in the Paintball Jungle is exhiliarating and fun - where else do you get to hunt and shoot at other humans that’s not in Afghanistan?

Here are a few general guidelines to follow that will help you learn how to hunt the human animal in the Paintball jungle.
Observation- When waiting for a good shot, don’t stare at your intended target.  Keep looking around.  If you are trying to ambush someone, staring at them will prevent you from seeing other things that may be going on around you and it is said that prey can often sense when a predator is watching and waiting.  Did you ever get the feeling you were being watched? Maybe there was a predator nearby.
Stealth- This covers a rather broad area.  It all comes down to being quiet, moving using the best cover available and in general being as sneaky as possible.  It also helps to use some sort of camouflage, or at least don’t wear bright colors or clothing with high visibility advertisements printed on it.  If you’re a sniper, consider getting a ghillie suit.
Patience- When in a position, often the prey will be too nervous to sit still for very long. This is especially true of new players.  The adrenaline is flowing, things are happening all around them and they just can’t sit and do nothing.  Often you can out wait them.  They move first, you get an easy target.
Range. Learn your paintball gun’s range.  Don’t waste shots over 125 feet.  You might get lucky with a long-range shot, but you can’t depend on it.  A good technique is to wait for them to come to you.  Some Hunters are true snipers.  They practice learning their maximum effective range under varying conditions and use a range card.  This is a simple silhouette cut out the size of a person at maximum range.  If a person fills the same size as the cut out in the hand held card, he is in range.  Also use the right paintball equipment.  Get a sniper paintball gun (or at least one with a 18-20″ tactical rifled barrel) and use a paintball sight or a good mid-long range scope.

RAP4 has come out with a new 22 inch sniper barrel called the Fluted sniper barrel.  This barrel will give you supreme performance on the paintball field.  They thought ahead when they made this bad boy too; it will fit on virtually any paintball gun….. the 22 inch fluted barrel will fit all the Tippmanns (Tippmann 98, A5 and X7), Spyder paintball guns, Viewloader, Smart Parts and of course the T68 Gen6 tactical paintball markers.  It also fits on the Tippmann Alpha Black.  Unlike the 22 inch super sniper barrels, this is a ‘true’ 22 incher!  The 22 inch super sniper barrels are really only an 18″ barrel with a 4″ muzzle brake that doesn’t actually touch the paintball - so it’s kind of a misnomer calling it a 22 inch barrel.  Yes it’s 22 inches long, but no the actual barrel length is not 22 inches.  Well the new 22 inch fluted sniper barrel is actually 22 inches long.  It also uses the ‘fluted’ technology.  This means is has multiple tiny holes in the last 8 inches or so of the barrel that will force air out ahead of the paintball as it pushes through.  This will allow for less drag on the ball allowing for a farther shot.  The 22 inch flute sniper barrel is also a rifled barrel - meaning there are tiny grooves throughout it’s length inside that also cuts down on the surface area that actually touches the paintball allowing for less drag as well.  Guess what?  It’s also CHEAPER than the 22 inch super sniper barrel; go figure.  You can find this excellent paintball gun barrel upgrade at www.choicepaintballguns.com!

NcSTAR has added a new twist on a Great Scope.  The All New Rubber Armored Mark III Tactical Series brings all the great features of the Original Mark III Tactical Series such as the Weaver Style Quick Release System and Built-in Sunshade, but with the added protection of Rubber Armoring AND a Fully Adjustable Red Laser.  Use the laser to make your scope as accurate as possible!  PLUS, the New Rubber Armored Mark III Tactical Series features a Blue Illuminated Reticle, a first for NcSTAR.  This series is offered in a variable power 3-9×42, and a fixed power 4×32 with 3 reticle options of Mil-Dot, P4 Sniper, and Rangefinder.  The other great thing about this scope is the price.  You can get this scope plus the best price on the internet at www.choicepaintballguns.com.

What is a paintball sniper?  Many people say sniping is a “bad idea,” because it is an easy way to get yourself out.  But it’s not.  Lets assume you are at a big, 24-hour game or a small woods game, since sniping doesn’t work in a speed-course or any other fast-paced speed game.  A game that is played in a large area in the woods and is continuous for some time is the perfect element for a sniper.  A paintball sniper, therefore, is someone who supports his/her team by delivering precise long-range hits on selected targets.  By doing this he/she takes out opposing team members, which also keeps them off-balance by adding and element of confusion to their tactics.  There are risks in sniping.  The one criticism that is correct about sniping is vulnerability when working by yourself.  The simple way to avoid this, if you are spotted or miss with the first few shots, is to retreat quickly and relocate to a different position.  Chances are, they are not going to pursue back into your territory.  The other big problem is that of friendly fire.  There have been a couple of times where my team has shot me in the back, but it does happen.  So, I recommend that you tell your team the basic area you will be located.  Sometimes you may not be able to follow your own plan, therefore you should just take a chance.  Anyway, your team should know or you should tell them not to shot anything they are unsure of.  This will help prevent them from accidentally shooting you or other members of your team.  Of course you will want the right equipment… Paintball marker with lengthy (18+ inches) barrel, paintball sniper scope, a solid bipod, maybe a ghillie suit and plenty of paintballs!
