If you’re looking to buy a new paintball marker, make sure you get one that’s specific for your personality and will match what type of play you like the best.  I play both scenario and speedball so I my paintball gun reflects that.  I was using my Planet Eclips Etek2 for both types of games, but I decided to get something specific for woodsball and just use that gun for speedball only.  Don’t get me wrong, the Etek2 is a great marker and can definitely be used for both games, but it’s really more specific for speedball… it’s super fast, automatic, works best with an electronic hopper and it’s super light for the quick maneuvering in a speedball match.  As my appetite for woodsball grew, I decided to expand into a marker that looked more tactical and offered more options for this type of game.  So I got an Alpha Black Tactical marker (camo version).  This gun not only looks the part, but now I can add mounts to attach a vertical grip, scope or sight.  I can also change the entire look of the gun by upgrading to a sniper barrel or different buttstock.  The great thing about the Alpha Black is that you can also add things that will upgrade the marker’s performance too, like a cyclone feed, electronic trigger or rifled barrel.  I got the Alpha Black in case I want to change positions on the field too; if I want to play in the front, I can expect more close quarter battles and I will upgrade to an e-trigger.  If I decide to become a sniper or play in the back, I can upgrade it into a sniper rifle by adding a scope and longer barrel.  These options weren’t available with the Etek2.  So before getting a new marker, first decide what type of game you like to play… speedball or woodsball.  Then make your decision based on what position you might like the best.  Next, choose a brand you want to try; pick a budget you’re working with and start visiting stores to see what’s available.  In other words, what you really need to look for when buying a paintball marker, is the one that works the best for you, not the most expensive, or cheapest one you can get.  Once you’ve decided these things, the best thing to do is shoot it to see if you like it, however this option is not always available.  Make sure you always do your home work on a marker before buying it.

Cleaning your paintball marker is a very important task that needs to be done after each time you play.  Some players never clean their marker at all, and this could lead up to many problems such as ball breakage - paintballs will often prematurely break when shot from a paintball gun with a dirty barrel.  Also, leaving your gun dirty can make it malfunction in other ways as well (clogging up the internals, etc.).  If you want to be a regular paintballer, you need to realize how crucial it is that you clean your marker after every time you play.  When you clean your marker, make sure you clean it inside and out. It does not take long, and its also kind of fun.  I love cleaning my paintball marker, it makes it look brand new again, and it functions much better when it’s clean.  Cleaning your marker will keep it looking new, and it will definitely add to it’s life.  No one likes a marker with dry paint on it from a past game.  Keeping your paintball gun in good shape (whether you have a competition paintball gun or a military replica tactical paintball marker) will allow you to have a great time on the field with fewer problems.  So remember to clean your marker after every time you play.

Over the past few months, feedback regarding the new TPX Pistol has been overwhelmingly positive.  This new .68 caliber paintball pistol has generated a tremendous amount of interest and excitement among paintballers around the globe.  However, a recent issue regarding the pistol has surfaced….

It appears the dimensions for disposable 12g CO2 cartridges vary far beyond Tippmann’s initial testing and have resulted in some cartridges not puncturing.  Although they tested numerous brands, they have discovered that certain types of cartridges may not puncture on the first pull.  If you have noticed this issue with your TPX Pistol, please call Tippmann at 1-800-533-4831 or visit www.tippmann.com (click on the CO2 Upgrade Kit link and simply complete the appropriate TPX form with your serial number.  Tippmann will send you a free CO2 Upgrade Kit including a new cap with an adjustable set screw that adjusts for various CO2 cartridge sizes, as well as a new, easy-to-install pin assembly.

If you have experienced any other issues, whether it’s velocity, efficiency, or paint breakage related, we encourage you to visit Tippmann’s new TPX Tech Support program on their website to learn more about troubleshooting, installation and maintenance of your TPX pistol.  There are also some helpful tips on how to correctly pick paint and properly load a magazine.  And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the videos, you may always contact their Tech Service Team at 1-800-533-4831, or 1-260-749-6022.

One of the leading ways for soldiers to train is through using paintball guns.  While paintball guns don’t cause permanent damage, it’s simple to identify who has been hit (or ‘marked’), and then take the appropriate course of action to avoid being hit in the future.  There are also specialized military paintball guns that are designed to be of similar size and weight as standard issue rifles and firearms.  Most of the tactical paintball guns on www.choicepaintballguns.com are these type.  This provides soldiers with a near authentic experience, and allows for tactical and battle training without endangering the soldier’s lives.  The police and military will often have their own paintball courses where soldiers can go against other squads or against each other and practice tactical strategies.  Paintballing is a great way for soldiers and law enforcement officers to train, and can improve a soldier’s instincts in battle and thus their ability to survive.  Paintball supplies are also much cheaper to use for training compared to actual rifles and blanks/mock ammo.  At www.choicepaintballguns.com, many military replica paintball rifles and paintball pistols are available to choose from.  The T68 Gen6 and MilSig K Series markers are probably the most reaslistic on the market today.

The T68 SplitFire is a .68 caliber paintball gun that can go from fully functional 18 round magazine to being hopper fed with the flick of a switch.  This will allow you to carry 2 types of ammunition if you want or just use one as a back up.  This gun also has a removable carry handle and when removed, it can take any scope, sight or attachment in it’s place; there are endless configurations of this gun.  The SplitFire also comes standard with an internal Flexi-Air System - that allows you use an air tank within the stock, replace your stock with a full sized tank or hook up a remote line system.  The dual feed system also makes the T68 SplitFire ideal for military and law enforcement training and use.  It is perfect for room clearing and building entry training, teaching CQB marksmanship and firearm safety.  For crowd control, the SplitFire’s dual feed system allows for rubber ball ammo to be kept in the hopper while capsaicin/pepper spray rounds are held in the magazine for a more negative re-inforcement if necessary.  This gun has a wide array of applications for the military/law enforcement officer or weekend scenario paintballer.  Get yours today at a great price at www.choicepaintballguns.com!

I have just recently bought a Tippmann Alpha Black, and so far, it was a great investment for me. The marker is very air efficient, and quite accurate. A great part about this marker is that its detachable clip can hold all the tools you need on the field. Another great part of this marker is the adjustable stock. It can set to six different ways. I’m really looking forward to buying attachments, and upgrades for this marker, because there are so many different accessories to choose from. It’s an all around great woodsball marker, and I highly recommend it to players looking for a durable and accurate marker. I have had no problems at all, and it is also very easy to maintain and clean. If your into woodsball and looking for a great marker, the Alpha Black is the one for you. Choicepaintballguns.com, has it on their site for a great low price.

I play on Team Trinity and compete in both tactical scenario and speedball competitions; I currently use the Smart Parts Ion XE for both types of games.  There’s no doubt about it, this is a great paintball marker.  It is very reliable, solid, totally easy to use and maintain.  It’s extremely light and compact; it has a super fast rate of fire, feels great in your hands, and the trigger response is fantastic.  I also have a Viewloader 3 electronic hopper that helps me with an even faster load and makes sure I have zero ball chops.  I also have the 14 inch Pepper Stick barrel; this is a very accurate barrel increasing accuracy and distance by about 20 yards.  Overall, I would highly recommend the Smart Parts Ion XE to anyone interested in getting an electronic speedball gun; go to choicepaintballguns.com for an incredibally cheap price and also great selection on all the accessories.
