A good way to gain some hand-eye coordination is to get in the outdoors and test your skills.  One of the best sports to do this is with paintball.  You will gain a depth of experiences in paintball that you will not with other sports.  In this one, if you are not aware, then you are out.  How fun is that?  When you put the paintball gun in your hand, it is immediate that you feel the power behind the game.  When you get on the range, you will be running and jumping over hurdles as though you were a wild creature on the prowl.  That primal instinct is still inside, time to bring it out.  There’s nothing like the raw aggression of being able to actually point a gun at someone else and pull the trigger!

This is true.  I ordered a RAM50 paintball pistol from ChoicePaintballGuns.com and I live in British Columbia, Canada.  The order took longer than usual and then I got a letter from Canadian Customs saying they had my paintball gun and that I’m not allowed to have it.  They said they took it apart and were going to destroy it.  The guys at ChoicePaintballGuns.com even wrote letters to customs to try and recover the gun but it didn’t make any difference.  Canadian Customs destroyed my paintball pistol and I just had to take a loss.

ramp99.jpgMost paintball pistols are powered by disposable CO2 cartridges.  Some paintball pistols however can convert to external air sources through an adaptor and a remote line.  This would allow you to use a larger CO2 cylinder and get more shots.  Instead of a tiny 12g disposable, you could use a 12, 16 or even 20oz. CO2 cylinder that you would carry on your back/hip/waist with a harness.  Paintball pistols you can do this with are the .68 caliber T68 paintball pistol, Ariakon ACP 2.0 and Overlord, the .43 caliber RAM50, P99 Walther replica (pictured) and Black Bird/Tiberius Arms pistols.  There are also many pistol attachments/upgrades like larger magazines, buttstocks, paintball scopes, sites and extended/better barrels for these paintball pistols as well.

We can’t figure out why Canadian Customs has put a ban on .43 caliber paintball pistols.  They do allow paintball in Canada, however cusoms can be tricky to send guns through.  Oddly, they won’t bother with .68 caliber paintball guns, however sometimes they will stop your package and charge you a hefty tax.  However, if you’ve bought a .43 caliber paintball pistol and it’s stopped at the border, you might as well kiss it goodbye.  Sometimes they will send your .43 caliber paintball pistol back to the store; but your best bet is to stay with .68 caliber paintball guns if you live in Canada.  .43 caliber paintball pistols are: P99 (Walther PPK replica), RAM50, P226, RAM Combat pistol and the RAM X50 pistol.  Safe paintball pistols (.68 caliber) to ship to Canada are: T68 Gen3 pistol, T68 Firestorm paintball pistol, Ariakon ACP 2.0 and Overlord, Warsensor pistols and Black Bird/Tiberius Arms pistols.
