First Beginner Paintball Gun

• If your looking at starting to play paintball, or
  are purchasing your first paintball gun or set of
  equipment, knowing where to start can be
  difficult.
• Some deciding factors to remember or find out
  about at when looking for paintball equipment are

2

• Your budget
• Performance difference vs cost difference
• Mechanical or electrical
• Performance vs looks
• Other equipment youll need
• Playing style
• What you want out of your paintball gun
• Short term marker vs long term

• Speedball
• Stock Class Paintball
• Scenario Paintball

• Pump Paintball Guns
• Mechanical Paintball Guns
• Electronic Paintball Guns

• The first thing you need to decide is whether
  your looking for an electronic or mechanical
  marker.  Depending on the type of markers your
  looking at, the difference between these two
  categories can be small, or very large.
• This decision may depend on many things such as
  your overall budget, what you want out of the
  marker, the type of paintball your going to play,
  ect.
• Mechanical markers are often cheaper than
  electronic markers, but this isnt always the
  case.   Mechanical markers have a much slower
  rate of fire (ROF) than electronic markers.  I
  would only recommend this if you have no
  intention of playing speedball.
• Electronic markers allow for a higher ROF than
  mechanical markers.  Some have additional
  features that add a lot of performance to these
  markers.  Over the last 5 years, some of the
  entry level electric markers have come along ways.
