Paintball Videos

So what defines a good paintball gun? There are thousands of requests every month asking “What is the best paintball gun out there?”. First of all, there is no best paintball gun. “Best” is all relative to each and every person – the manufacturers know they can’t please every person, so they tend to target a certain age group by improving their latest gun model’s feature to the maximum.

Take Tippmann, for example. Notice how they’re one of the leading paintball manufacturers on the market today – and they have yet to release a “high-end” paintball gun. Why is this, are they stupid? No. Tippmann markers are targeted more towards the Beginners and Scenario paintball players. Tippmann focuses more on its reliability; since their guns usually take more of a beating.

So, to answer our original question of what makes the best paintball gun; we will never really know. Even if a company makes a paintball marker with the best accuracy, best reliability, and the best upgrade-ability, there will always be a group of players that just don’t like the looks, or they had a bad experience with it, or they just think it’s too expensive.

When deciding which gun you’ll want to buy in the near future, do a little research (read reviews, watch videos, etc) on the markers that interest you most. Determine what kind of paintball game you will be playing – whether it’s speedball, woodsball, or scenerio; look into the top 3 best rated paintball guns and then see which one is best for you.

Things to consider and research when buying a new paintball gun:

Accuracy
Gas-efficiency
Upgrade Ability
Value (how much will it resell for used?)

Don’t let any manufacturer’s marketing allow you to believe that they have created the “best paintball gun ever”. Good luck on the field.
