What is the best rated paintball gun 2016 2017

Paintball is now not only considered a game, but as an actual sport. Its popularity is brought about by its ability to immerse you in combat without the fatality. Although it is true you will not die going to war with these guns, it is very true however that you will get hurt. After all, these pellets shoot at you at considerable speed and they will leave a mark. You can mark my words.

Although what you cannot deny is the fun you will get playing the game. A lot of facilities will provide you with gear, ammunition, and yes, the guns, however if you’re really serious about Paintball, and play often, you might want to invest in your own equipment. This will allow you to “marry” your skill with your gun.

Familiarity with your own gun can make you a better player. The problem with renting is that it’s like teaming up with a total stranger; and the gun may already have issues before you came into its life, the same is true for you. Your own gun in your hand will feel like a glove. It becomes part of you, part of your game.

When buying the perfect paintball gun, consider a couple of things, like who are you playing with? Are these amateurs? Are these hard core paintball enthusiasts? Do you play often? Where do you compete? Of course what type of game are you playing? Woodsball? Speedball? Mil-sim? As always, your equipment should match its purpose, or else it will be like eating spaghetti with a spoon.

Here are some of the best paintball guns on the market in 2016.
