What is the difference between C02 and N2?  One very important difference is the lack for the need of an expansion chamber on your paintball gun or CO2 bottle.  The Co2 deals more with the Ideal gas law from physics.  When you shoot fast the pressure of the tank drops rapidly, and the temperature continues to drop to the point that the only thing going to the expansion chamber is liquid CO2. This causes the expansion chamber to fill up with liquid CO2 and also make the paintballs shoot faster than normal.  In some paintball guns this could cause lockup or even damage.  These are some pitfalls of using an expansion chamber; but if you use N2 instead, you won’t need the expansion chamber and won’t have to worry about these problems.

Many parents that are unfamiliar with paintball are very concerned about their children getting hurt in this endeavor. After all, if you were just to look at the equipment that’s used, it truly looks like a bunch of teenagers are running around shooting each other with rifles and advanced tactical gear like landmines and scopes. But the guns don’t actually create enough pressure to break the skin. Even at close range, the worst damage is usually a welt.

The pellets don’t get enough force or speed, because they are often launched by the force of CO2 cartridges. These give the paint enough oomph to launch them, but not so much that it will pierce clothing or skin. But as with anything like paintballing, common sense should be used. Don’t ever intentionally shoot somebody point blank. Even if they are wearing protective clothing, this is an irresponsible and dangerous move. Every player should also be outfitted with helmets and protective eye wear. This ensures permanent damage isn’t done to the notoriously sensitive eyes.

After you’ve been playing with the same old paintball gun for a while, you soon get a craving for something fresh. You’ve also probably seen Joe Blow paintballer down at the field with a totally decked-out paintball gun and he’s absolutely crushing his opponents. When you get the craving for something faster, it’s time to think about an upgrade to your paintball marker.
There are many different ways to upgrade your paintball gun. The first one, and probably the easiest is to upgrade the barrel. You can get more out of your paintball gun barrel by making it longer, adding rifling (grooves inside) or fluting the end (tiny holes that let air out ahead of the paintball). These additions will add to your trajectory’s distance and straightness greatly. After you’ve upgraded to a rifled barrel, you may also want to consider getting an APEX barrel from www.choicepaintballguns.com. You can direct your paintball for longer distance or curved shots with this addition that goes on the end of a rifled paintball gun barrel.
You can also upgrade the insides. By getting better, lighter, more efficient internal parts to your paintball marker, you will be able to shoot farther and faster. A lighter hammer takes less work from the paintball gun to move faster, therefore pushing out more paintballs faster. You can buy individual pieces (striking bolts, paddles, etc.) or you can buy kits that have multiple internal parts upgrades. Check out the Tippmann Cyclone Feed Kit for example.
You can also upgrade the trigger. Most paintball guns come with a stock trigger system that’s semi-automatic. You can purchase better/electronic triggers for most paintball guns. These will allow you to shoot faster and have choices such as 3-round burst or fully automatic. Some of the higher end competition paintball guns have electronic trigger upgrades that can have up to 17 different trigger settings!
Depending on how fast you want your marker to shoot, you can also upgrade the hopper. Most paintball guns operate by a gravity feed loader, however you can upgrade to an electronic loader that will feed paintballs to your paintball marker at alarming speeds, making your paintball gun shoot much faster. We recommend a Halo-B electronic loader or the Pinokio hopper for tactical or increase storage capacity.
Finally, consider buying an upgrade kit. These are kits you can buy that will basically turn your stale, old paintball gun into a brand new killing machine. Kits are available to turn your paintball bun into an MP5, M4 Carbine, Sniper paintball gun, AK47, M16 and many more. Many times these kits also have upgraded pieces in them, for example many of the kits on www.choicepaintballguns.com come with tactical rifled barrels.

The 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.

What’s your favorite brand/company; What do you like that they have/why do you like them? What’s your least favorite paintball company and why?
I would have to say that Spyder is my favorite brand because that’s all I shoot.  I think the durability and reliability are practically unmatched by these paintball guns.  Tippmann is also great like this.  I’ve used several different Spyder paintball guns and they have never let me down - easy to use, hardly break down and plenty of paintball accessories you can add.  I have Spyder paintball guns for speedball tournaments and also a Spyder MR1 for all our tactical games and practice.  Honestly the MR1 has become one of my all time favorite paintball guns.  My favorite company would have to be our team sponsor, ChoicePaintballGuns.com.  I like that company because they sell the best paintball guns and accessories.  They also have low prices on most items and they will give you good deals on packages.  I really like the assault rifle paintball guns and also I like the paintball pistols.  This company also carries an unbelievable selection of tactical paintball vests and scenario gear.  My least favorite paintball company would have to be brass eagle.  I didn’t like their guns very much, but their paintballs are decent.  I had too many problems with my brass eagle paintball guns breaking too easy; oh well - you get what you pay for though.

You’ve been playing paintball for a while, what equipment would you recommend for the newbie, just starting out?
Obviously, the most essential piece they’re going to need is a paintball marker.  The gun I would recommend for a beginner is a Spyder Xtra, Sonix, or even a Spyder MR1; these are easy to operate, maintain and there are many attachments and upgrades you can buy for them later.  They’re also very reasonably priced for a first gun.  To make the gun work, you’ll need air; I recommend starting with CO2….. start with either a 9 or a 12 oz. CO2 tank.  Next importance, you should think about safety.  I would recommend a full head paintball mask, to protect your face and eyes and just in case you get shot in the back of the head.  You can play with no body protection if you want, but it kind of hurts a bit when you get hit with a paintball, so a beginner may want to consider purchasing a padded vest and/or a padded jersey.  The paintballs I recommend is the kind that your team uses.  I would probably start off with Brass Eagle Monster Balls; their cheap and readily available - you can get them at Wal-Mart.  Our sponsor sends us Karnage paintballs and these are much better but we generally need more of them and Monsters bridge the gap nicely.  I would also recommend wearing a good pair of paintball gloves too.

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.
