In the celebrated baseball movie “Field of Dreams,” Kevin Costner’s character is often reminded that “if you build it, they will come.” Creating a usable baseball diamond in his backyard seems as simple as a bit of planning and elbow grease. Unfortunately, building a paintball field requires a lot of work and forethought. Some of the logistics – such as bunker building, insurance coverage and referees – might not be immediately obvious.

Even after the field is built from the ground up, you’ll have to resist the urge to pick up your tactical paintball guns. Safety remains the overriding concern, and the games shouldn’t begin until you’ve established a secure perimeter. Post “no trespassing” signs around the boundaries of the field to prevent unfortunate mishaps. Seek out referees who are experienced at judging games of paintball and who are familiar with the safety guidelines as well.

military-paintball-guns1Paintball could be described as a trial by fire. When live rounds of paint are coming at you from every angle, you’re forced to make quick decisions and execute them in a timely fashion. Beginners make critical mistakes initially, but they soon learn from them or lose interest in the game. One of the most common mistakes a paintball rookie will make involves communication. Good teams keep an open line of communication at all times on the playing field. When you’re playing outdoors, don’t be afraid to shout orders or warnings to a teammate. The only time you really need to button up is when you’re hidden with an enemy bearing down with military paintball guns in close proximity. Aside from that, you and the rest of your team should be keeping each other abreast of the enemy’s whereabouts.

paintball-gun-scopesAs an avid paintball player, I recognize that it’s just not possible to win every game. Still, I find myself constantly striving to get better – to hone my mental and physical game to a whole new level. If you’re not working toward a goal, what’s the sense of even participating? For my part, I realize that defense isn’t exactly my strong suit. I’m almost always the most experienced player on my team, which means others rely on me to take precise, accurate shots. I’m always been handy with paintball gun scopes.

Even though I don’t particularly like defense – there’s less glory if you succeed and plenty of blame if you fail – I wanted to give it a try my last time out. Being in an unfamiliar position with a strange new strategy actually proved to be invigorating. This new challenge reminded me of what I liked about the game in the first place. I got to experience the thrill and suspense of playing a new position while improving my overall skills.

Just as it takes a special personality and mental makeup to play goalie in soccer, it takes the same patience and sharp reflexes to be a paintball sniper. The sniper must rely on his own quick instincts in addition to the camouflage he wears in order to lure opposing players within range. Safety standards ensure that most paintball guns are capable of firing the same distance. Increased firepower wouldn’t be safe.

Therefore, it’s all about finding a gun that feels good in your hand and that can hit a target reliably. Consistency is key, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in Tippmann paintball guns. Any sniper worth his salt will also need a gun sight or scope attachment in order to guarantee pinpoint accuracy. Once you’re engaged in a firefight with the competition, you’ll need to abandon the use of the scope and fire away of your own accord.

How many games of paintball have you won by making a reckless dash into enemy fire? How about by hiding in a bunker without taking any risks whatsoever? The answer to both questions is no, of course, because paintball requires a modicum of strategic movement. The advanced player will know instinctively when to relocate to a new position and when it’s best to stay put.

In simple terms, the goal of successful positioning is to discover your opponent’s position without giving away your own. Think of yourself as a spy or covert operative, keeping your presence a secret at all costs. As long as you have more information than your opponent, you can maneuver yourself into a winning position. Remember to always be moving forward down the field of play with your tactical paintball guns, taking occasional breaks to evade enemy fire.

Paintball Guns Used in Military Training

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.

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.

t68_m240_machine_gun_c.jpgThe M240 paintball gun is a lightweight, gas-operated, 200 round magazine-tube-fed, individually portable paintball-machine-gun capable of delivering a large volume of effective fire.  The M240 provides accurate fire on par with the accuracy of a regular paintball marker, yet gives the heavy volume of fire common to a heavy mounted machine gun.  The M240 paintball gun fires standard .68 caliber paintballs using a standard 200 round loader, with realistic selective firing modes: semi, 3 round burst and full auto at 500+ rounds per minute.  The unit features all metal construction and weighs 13lbs.  The M240 operates with both CO2 and compressed air, using a remote line.  If you’re going to spend the money on this bad-boy, perhaps you should think about getting a good electronic loader to help speed things up a bit, like the Pinokio hopper that can also hold up to 400 rounds.  This M240 is the full size version.  It features a solid stock and a long barrel.  It is designed to suppress fire, cover tactical maneuvers, and can be mounted on vehicles.  The M240 series paintball gun provides a valuable, realistic training tool for military combat training and gives operators a true-to-life feel… as if they are training with their duty gear.  This gun is great for military simulation as well as full scale scenario paintball games.  You can find it on www.choicepaintballguns.com Big Guns & Heavy Artillery section.
