t68_ak_with_folding_buttstock_and_samurai_scope.jpgIt feels good being bad with the NEW T68 AK47 paintball rifle!  The AK-47 was originally developed in 1944 by Mikhail Kalashnikov for the Soviet Union. It is a 7.62 mm durable assault rifle and thanks to its low manufacturing costs, the AK-47 is still widely used around the globe.  f you want to get that classic AK-47 feeling in your hands, you should defiantly try the new Gen6 AK47 which is designed for scenario paintball and military training. As the “opposing force” marker, the T68 AK47 enhances military combat training, scenario realism and is also great if you want to play a bad guy for the weekend.

The T68 AK47 features all-metal construction with internal Flexi Air System. Each unit incorporates a fully functional magazine-feed system with 18 round detachable magazine. An optional 200 round hopper adaptor is available for those who need more ammo capacity.  Just like the real deal - the T68 AK47 Paintball Gun features an inherent reliability and durability by virtue of being made completely of metal. To replicate the original classic, the aesthetics are dead-on and the pistol grip and handguard are made of wood - the T68 AK47 is made to take a beating!

A Birthday Party Your Teenager Will Actually Love

If you have a son that’s a young teenager or even a preteen, it can be difficult choosing an event for his birthday party.  Teenagers, after all, are notoriously difficult to please, and you want to make sure he has a good time at his own birthday.  For that reason, consider an active and fun outdoor activity such as paintball.  Whether you rent a space or you simply use your own backyard, your son and his friends are sure to love this!  As a way to let your son in on the birthday surprise, give him any number of Angel paintball guns for his birthday present.  Or you can start a bit smaller with a nice Tippmann or Spyder power pack.  A power pack is a great beginner’s gift because it comes with the paintball gun, mask, hopper and CO2 canister - everything you need to get started.  In this way, he can immediately test out his new guns at the actual birthday party.  Don’t forget to include all the necessary accessories such as a scope, extra paintballs, and more.  And even if your son resists and pleads, make sure everyone is fully equipped with safety gear.

tpxThere’s nothing quite like carrying that elegant pistol in a holster and taking it out when in close combat. We defiantly recommend running up on your opponent, taking out that pistol and saying “Do you feel lucky… Punk?” Shooting a paintball from 100 feet can be fun, but it’s always useful to carry a backup pistol when it’s time to act fast. Paintball pistols are extremely light and much more maneuverable than your regular gun. They can produce 10 discrete shots for those moments you need to fire without being noticed.

Check out the new Tippmann TPX .68 Caliber Paintball Pistol which offers an innovative, compact design, specially engineered to be lightweight, easy to maintain, customizable, and best of all, dependable. This exciting new weapon is available to pre-order as shipping has officially begun and demand is already massive. The pistol offers great new technology, a metal trigger that punctures C02 on first pull and 2 self-locking 8-ball magazine clips. The new TPX comes with a maintenance kit and a deluxe carrying case.

When these babies come out in July, everyone and their mamas are going to want one. Get your Pre-Order now at www.choicepaintballguns.com and avoid the wait.

edge1.jpgThe Airowgun unit was designed to be a tool to draw the neophyte paintball player back to the game, or into the game for first time.  Over the last few years with Airball fields and Tourneys taking over paintball we have noticed a decline in new players taking up the sport.  You know, those people who can’t afford $500 + for equipment, are afraid of getting lit up @ 15 balls a second, and don’t want to have to shoot a case or so of paint for a day of play.  With the combined # of people who throw together games in the woods behind their house, and the 7million + bowhunters, 6 million + airgun shooters and the 10 milllion + paintball players out there, it is clear that tournament paintball is just not everybody’s cup of tea and that there are a whole bunch of bodies still out there waiting to be collected.  To this end was the Airowgun designed. We both know that most players come out to play and just have fun, laugh and BS with friends.  Some will evolve into tournament players, but the greater preponderance will not. It is also true that if we can provide a positive experience to first time players that they will return and become loyal customers. Then a great deal of them will begin what we call here the “Upgrade Race”.  You know the “I got shot out by that guy because he has brand X marker and I only have brand Z” so the trading up begins. This results in numerous sales to same individual right up until such time that they actually develop a skill set. Well, we believe that the Airowgun can help be the catalyst to get that whole ball rolling by getting a few of the guys on the sidelines to give paintball a shot as it were. Plus they can still go out and engage in archery and hunting when they’re not playing paintball!  Scenario guys love it!  Bow hunters can’t wait to see who’s the best!  You can purchase the Airowgun from www.choicepaintballguns.com.

Ensuring Safety on the Paintball Field

Whenever your kids start a new venture, there’s nothing more important than ensuring that they are completely safe. With that in mind, if your kid has expressed an interest in paintballing, it’s best not to deny your kid the right to play. Saying no outright will only cause your kid to want to play all the more. Just make sure that your kid is properly outfitted with safety gear. And remember, it’s only paintball. The only major risk posed by this activity is damage to the eyes, which is why paintball goggles are an absolute necessity.The vast majority of the time, protective eyewear will stop any serious harm from happening to your child. Without any significant padding, paintballs might leave bruises or welts, but these will fade with time and are very unlikely to leave permanent damage. If you are concerned, however, with the paintballs injuring your children, you can always send them out on the paintball course wearing thicker clothing. This will help absorb some of the shock. There is also padded protective wear should you still be seriously concerned with injury.

Introduction to the Paintballing Community

If you know somebody in your life that’s interested in paintball, tell them it’s a great activity for learning strategy, hand-eye coordination, and various other skills.  Parents should understand however that paintball is an activity best enjoyed responsibly.  If your young child is asking for any kind of paintball accessories, make sure that they’re ready for that kind of responsibility.  Paintball guns shoot fast and it hurts to get hit.  Make sure they have the proper safety equipment before playing, so they don’t think the sport is too ‘intense’.  This is the main reason that you should be 18 years old before playing; most kids (who are too young to play) think it hurts too much to get hit with a paintball.  Safety must always come first when it comes to these kinds of activities.

The best way to introduce a younger child into the paintballing community is by providing him with all the safety gear and a very basic paintball gun.  The most important piece of safety equipment for the newbie is a good set of goggles or a paintball mask.  After he or she’s been properly versed in paintball safety and given all the necessary protective gear, look into paintball pistols.  These make ideal beginner guns because they tend to be smaller and more manageable.  They can also be outfitted with many extras once they prove he or she is responsible and capable of handling the basics.

All paintball guns may look the same but it is important to remember that choosing the right paintball marker is not an easy task.  Here are some tips that you may need to consider:
1. The very first thing that needs to be considered when buying a paintball gun is the price. It is important that the buyer determine his budget for the gun. There are many paintball markers in the market and prices may range from $100 to $900. The cost of the gun will depend on the brand and features that come with it.
2. It is recommended a person test a specific type of gun before buying one.  You may want to try those that you’ve borrowed or rented which will give you the chance to choose which one that works best for him. The paintball gun should provide ease of use and maintenance, comfort for the user and upgradeability.
3. Before buying a paintball gun, it is important that he decide on the size of the gun, the paintball loader and the tank that he desires. Remember that the bigger the tanks and the paintball loaders the heavier the gun becomes.  A good hopper should be the right size for the gun and should contain the amount of paintballs needed to fire at the opponents.
4. The buyer should shop around first before deciding on a particular paintball gun (for example, there’s such a thing as tactical paintball guns). This will give him the chance to evaluate and compare prices.  Some shops offer lower prices than other shops, so do some research and purchase the one that fits your needs and pocketbook.
5. Seek advice from friends who play paintball, instructors, and coaches of paintball games who will be able to provide some tips on what paintball guns they have used and have found effective. Paintball stores can also recommend some good paintball guns and/or those that they most often sell to their customers.
After choosing the right paintball gun, you must familiarize yourself with the machine. Practicing with the paintball gun will help you move with the gun as well as apply some strategies for using the gun.

us_army_alpha_black_frostbite_marker.jpgI just got my Alpha Black, it’s a fairly new line from Tippmann, but they are now starting to come out with new stuff by the dozens.  Anyway it has to be the single most reliable gun I’ve ever used.  I was playing at my local field, Frosty’s Revenge, a big winter game, and I dropped it right on the ice.  I’m 6′ tall so it was a pretty long fall, I was very worried about it but when I checked it out, absolutely nothing changed, nothing broke, it was just like new!  Besides the durability and reliability, it performs amazingly with the standard 11″ barrel it comes with, I was hitting targets 40-50 yards away, with great accuracy.  Toss an Apex barrel on that baby and you have yourself a definant force to be reckoned with on any paintball field.  It’s incredibly well priced through www.choicepaintballguns.com, not to mention all the extras you can get.  I’d highly recommend getting an Apex barrel, and if you’re a woodsball/tactical player, the frostbite barrel kit….  if I’m getting the accuracy that I am with this 11′ barrel, I couldn’t imagine what I’d be dishing out with this kit.  Not to mention with a seriously fierce look; in big games, between it and a little bit of demoralizing yelling you’ll be right on your enemy.  The Alpha Black is DEFINITELY a must-have for ALL beginners, or certainly experianced players.  Now that Tippmann has released more upgrades, don’t forget to include a compatible Apex barrel; if you have the money to spend on upgrades, this is definitely a gun that you need.  Korian D., Barrie ON
