Paintball gun scopes

For competitive paintball enthusiasts, the ordinary paintball markers might not be enough. To have an edge, a cool paintball gun scope might be the very thing.  They give you a clearer view of your target and many scopes have built-in cross hairs to exactly center your shot for the most accurate attack.  Paintball scopes will magnify a target, making it easier to hit.  Because of this, they can increase your accuracy.  At the same time, a scope will save you ammo because you can make each shot count - you miss less.  Depending on your style of play, you will want to shop for a scope to match what you like to do.  If you’re a sniper paintballer, you’ll obviously want something with a more powerful range.  These scopes generally cost a bit more and are usually a bit larger/longer, but the size and cost difference is certainly not prohibitive.  All scopes are fairly reasonable, easy to attach to your paintball gun and not so large you couldn’t attach them to just about any gun.  If you just want some cross hairs to center a target in and exact precision is not your goal, check out the red dot series of sights and scopes.  Great deals can be found on all these items at www.choicepaintballguns.com.

Paintball markers

A fun and safe way to play with guns is through paintball. This is one game for kids and kids at heart will enjoy. It’s active, high adrenaline and aggressive. Paintball games make use of paintball markers that fire paint instead of bullets.  The paint are in the form of ‘paintballs‘ and can be bought from paintball stores or even Wal-Mart.

The goal of a paintball game is to finish the game without getting a splotch of paint on your combat gear.  There are generally other motives to call a ‘win’ depending on what game you’re actually playing.  At the same time, you have to hit as many opponents as you can, but sometimes there are other goals…. capture the opposing team’s flag, kill all the other players, etc.  The game is exciting and can really be addicting; if you play once, you’ll want to play again!

sticking.jpgSometimes the cost of paintballs can make playing paintball cost-prohibitive to play as much as you might like.  Or maybe you can’t get to the field as often as you want.  Here’s a solution…. the VBalls Target System.  Vballs have appeared as one of the reusable paintball alternatives on the market today.  Vballs are a projectile and target system designed for paintball training and games without the mess, splatter or single-use cost of paintballsThe ‘V’ in Vballs may not officially stand for Velcro, but they use the same hook-and-loop technology as Velcro brand fasteners.  The Vballs are to be used with a ‘velcro’ target; there are also ‘velcro’ tactical vests, gloves and masks consist of hook fastener material, so when a Vball strikes it, with even the smallest amount of force, it sticks in place.  Each assembled V-Ball has a diameter of approximately 0.66 inches at the outer edge of its soft exterior. The more dense core of the fabric loop base and bead is about 0.55 inches in diameter. This is a bit smaller than a .68 caliber paintball. Vballs Target Systems calls this size difference “Safety Gap Technology.” In essence, the extra airspace around a Vball when it sits in a paintgun barrel means that some gas can blow past it, and it won’t reach the same velocity as a paintball, if the paintgun’s velocity adjuster is unchanged. Since Vballs have a hard core, and don’t break up to disburse impact energy like a paintball, this the reduces the amount of impact energy delivered.  You can get this system at ChoicePaintballGuns.com.

Paintball masksA paintball mask is the most important piece of equipment players can own. Ski goggles, sunglasses, safety goggles and shooting glasses are not paintball masks! Paintball masks are made specifically for the sport and have to meet strict industry standards to be sold in the mass market. This means they must be able to withstand the impact of a paintball travelling 270 mph.

When purchasing a paintball mask you should take care to make sure it allows you good peripheral vision, that it won’t fog up, that it fits comfortable over your glasses (if you wear them), that it offers ample ear protection, has large and flexible face shield, a sun visor and an overall, generally good fit.
