All You Wanted To Know About Paintball Gear
Paintball is a wonderful game that requires shooting one another (players) with paint. Though this is only a game, people take it extremely serious organizing sometimes historical fights and sometimes hysterical fights just to relieve stress. This is not only entertaining, but also a very challenging game as it involves tactics, plans, and real life action.
What Paintball Gear You Would Need For A Game?
Whether you are organizing paintball games for only men, only women or a mixed group, you would need to know that you are in for a great time. However, before you go for the game, you need to purchase and equip yourself with adequate paintball gear.
For starters you would need the paintball gun. The gun would more often than not be determined by the type of game you are planning to play, or rather the location of the game. There are two types of games you could choose from one is the wood ballplayer and the other is speed ball. For the former type you would need a durable and reliable gun such as the Tippman because these guns are great in terms of reliability (for shooting) and durability.
The guns available in stores differ greatly and therefore you need to research a little on paintball gear before you go to the supplies stores and pick you what you wanted. Beware that in most cases the guns come very costly and hence you would need to visit quite a number of stores until you get the one you need for a reasonable price. There are many alternatives to the designer label guns and it would be a good idea to use the replicas until you learn the game well; as you grow in experience with the handling and maintenance you could shift to using of other types of guns.
Other paintball gear you would need would be the eye and face protection in the form of a mask which comes in a wild assortment of colors and materials. You would be tempted to buy some fancy stuff under this particular paintball gear for its esthetic sense rather than safety.
Be warned that paintball games are fun just as long as you play by the rules and the rules are only safety, safety, safety. The mask you would choose should fit your face to perfection or you would have problems later on during the game.
There are many more things you would need, but these are the most two important items of paintball gear - i.e. the gun and the face mask.
