Creating A Custom Paintball Gun
Are you a paintball enthusiast? Since the beginning of paintball competitions among foresters and ranchers in the 1970s, the game has evolved into a multi million dollar sport that attracts all sorts of people, from those who love the outdoors, to hunters who play out of season, and individuals in the military, who play to improve their strategy skills.
Paintball Gear
Paintball enthusiasts need a variety of gear, including military style camouflage clothing, goggles, paintball tanks, boots, gloves, and markers, or guns. Many paintball players use off the shelf equipment, but the more sophisticated players are always on the lookout for custom equipment like custom paintball guns.
Finding Custom Paintball Guns
You will find a variety of paintball guns wherever you buy your paintball gear. Whenever you buy your next paintball marker, look for a model that will permit you to customize it when you want to enhance its performance, or when you simply get tired of using the same gun. Customizing an existing paintball gun with a customization kit will make your old marker feel brand new again.
Magazine Kits
One option for creating a custom paintball gun is to purchase a magazine kit for a custom conversion project. A magazine kit will bolt in front of the vertical handle on your paintball marker; it is secure and may be used as a vertical handle in place of the existing one. Most customized magazines are made of durable steel and aluminum, and cost between $100 and $150.
For a few dollars more, you can purchase a magazine that is easy to install and has a tombstone adapter. Just plug the magazine up and start playing. The ultimate magazine conversion kit comes with a tombstone adapter and line. Adding this magazine to your existing marker is almost like getting a new custom paintball gun.
Make Modifications That Make Sense
As you start adding on to your existing marker, be sure to only add modifications that will improve your play and your chances of winning and being a better team player.
Rail Systems
One modification that is well worth the effort is to add a rail system to the top of your paintball marker. This paintball gun custom modification gives you the option to mount all kinds of different accessories on your paintball marker, like scopes, red-dot sights, hand grips, and tactical lights. Rails are starting to become standard features on high end paintball marker.
Whether you buy an aftermarket barrel, a magazine kit, or a rail system, making a custom paintball gun can add a new element of excitement to your paintball gaming.
