| Paintball Supplies |  Paintball guns, also known as markers, are often times
the most expensive piece of gear a paintball player
will buy. But there are a huge selection of low
priced, entry level markers. The marker is made up of
three primary parts: The hopper, the body, and the
tank. A marker may be sold in a set with these three
items included, or more expensive components may be
sold separately and assembled by the player. Weapons
systems range in price from less than fifty dollars to
over fifteen-hundred dollars.
Clothing or uniform is classified as anything that is
not included in the weapons system, as well as
coverings for the components of the weapon system. An
old pair of camouflage BDUs or paintball ghillie suits can be
used for woodsball. For speedball tournament play a
uniform may be required. There are also protective
coverings available for the hopper and tank, as well
as rifle wrap for the body and barrel of the marker.
All necessary paintball equipment can be purchased off
the internet or from a few forward-minded sporting
goods stores. Equipment at the beginner level is
extremely affordable, with some low end marker going
for as cheap as twenty five dollars. Masks and goggles
can also be obtained for a little of nothing.
Paintballs themselves are also inexpensive when
purchased in bulk. A new initiate to paintball could,
most likely, be completely outfitted with all the
essential gear for about one hundred dollars. However,
you should also not be surprised to see professional
paintball markers go for over a thousand dollars. The
same goes for professional grade masks, hoppers, and
other supplies. For instance, some masks have a double
layer of lenses. Because the measure of air between to
levels of plastic, masks that employ this feature are
less likely to fog up. This is a feature that is only
present in the most advanced, and therefore expensive
masks. But it is not necessary for a beginning player
to have the best equipment right at first. On the
contrary, even with the best equipment, an
inexperienced player will fare poorly against an
ill-equipped, yet experienced, player. |
