If you are a big fan of playing paintball, then you need to think about purchasing your own equipment. First of all, you should buy a marker. This solution will significantly reduce the costs of your hobby, because you will no longer have to pay for the rental of a marker. There is another plus - having your own marker, you can improve the quality of the game, since it will be configured accordingly and the bullets will fly exactly where you direct them.
Instructions
Step 1
Medium to good quality models cost about one hundred and fifty dollars. A cheaper marker is good for a beginner. In principle, he is not so bad. And if you wish, you can find a high-quality model for little money, which is made by very serious manufacturers. So, before you go shopping, decide for yourself whether you want to become a super fighter or just want to shoot sometimes on the weekend. In the latter case, you can get by with an inexpensive marker.
Step 2
In the purchase amount, be sure to include the cost of balloons, a gas cylinder, clothing and a mask.
Step 3
Before you head out to the store, be sure to try shooting the different marker models at a paintball club. Alternatively, ask one of your friends for a game weapon for the game. This approach will greatly simplify the selection procedure. It would be nice to chat with avid paintball players on the site itself or on the forums, of which there are now a large number, and find out all the pros and cons of this or that marker model.
Step 4
Choose which gas to give preference: nitrogen or carbon dioxide. But do not forget about some special features. For example, nitrogen is best used when playing in freezing temperatures. And you can use carbon dioxide to prolong the effect of your marker. But the best thing, of course, is to buy the gas that is used in the club where you intend to play.
Step 5
When choosing a marker, it is important to pay attention to the materials from which it is made. With active use, a polymer case wears out much faster in comparison with an aluminum or steel one.
Step 6
Be sure to take into account the technology of assembly and disassembly of the marker. This knowledge will be useful to you in the future at the time of its cleaning and maintenance or repair.
Step 7
In choosing one or another marker model, the manner and style of play is of great importance. The weight of the pistol and its length will depend on this. If your preference is to play in the jungle, you should purchase a long-barreled, long-range marker. Tournament play presupposes a compact pistol with a high rate of fire. It should be noted that rifled barrels are the most accurate, but they are present in rather expensive models.
