Paintball Guns

Paintball guns are the second most important piece of paintball gear for anybody who wants to be involved in paintball. The paint gun being second only to googles, that is. (Unless of course you're not THAT worried about your eyes..!) But seriously, you can't shoot paint at someone without one of the super paintball guns around today. So what kind of paint gun is right for you?

Well, guns range from pump guns (these are the oldest and most traditional type of paintball guns) to full automatic guns and beyond. While pump guns will require you to take careful aim before you shoot, it does have some advantages over an automatic or a semi-automatic paint gun. These allow you to shoot multiple rounds in a row.

Realistic-Looking Markers
The type of paintball guns that you look at for purchase depends on you and your paintball style. Most guns are designed as paintball-shooting replicas of real guns. As a result, if you want a paint gun that looks similar (or identical) to a real type of gun, you should not have any trouble finding one. For instance, paintball pistols look very similar to real pistols.

In fact, the only major difference is that instead of shooting bullets, a pistol-type paint gun will shoot paintballs. And it should be noted that replica-style guns are frowned-upon within the industry AND by the governing bodies. Check with the national governing body in your own country before you consider buying these paintball guns.

Autocockers
If you are looking for a paint gun that is easier to use, that isn’t necessarily automatic, you might want to take a look at autococker guns. While in normal pump paintball markers, you have to cock the gun after each shot, autococker paintball guns will use gas and air-pressure to re-cock the gun automatically. This means that right after your shot, you’ll be ready to re-load.

Electronic Markers
Electronic paintball guns can be used if you want to have different settings. For instance, a standard electronic paint gun will allow you to choose between a one shot setting, or a three round burst. The three round burst is more useful if you’re trying to hit a moving target, since it will shoot three paintballs at once.

Be careful here. In some national governing bodies, these types of guns are illegal to use on sites, or in tournaments. Most rulings are: one trigger-pull - one burst of gas - one paintball. Again, do your homework for these markers.

Custom Guns
It’s always possible that you won’t be able to find guns that fit what you’re looking for in a standard store. If that is the case, then you have two options. You can always shop around and find a store that will make you a custom paint gun, or you can build your own.

Building your own will probably take a lot of work, and probably should only be done by people who are experienced with paintball guns. Custom guns might cost a little bit more than regular paintball guns, but it’s probably worth it if you want a paintball marker that perfectly fits your specifications.

If you don’t think you like normal paintball markers at all, there are several other options. Usually these types of guns are not allowed in paintball tournaments, but they can be fun for your own games, or even just to shoot at targets.

Mostly, this kind of paint gun cannot actually be purchased anywhere. But in some cases you can either find the instructions on how to build them online for free, or for sale at a low price.

Some people who have found that automatic paintball guns don’t quite do it for them have made heavy paintball machine guns. While these would obviously not be acceptable for a paintball tournament, they appear to be fun to build and play with.

Paintball Bazookas & Grenade Launchers
Generally, if you look online, you should be able to find instructions on how to build a paintball machine gun for a low price (if you can’t find it for free). Other options for a strange and interesting paint gun include the paintball bazooka and the paintball grenade launcher.

Both of these two items are fun to play with, and can often be built easily with different parts that you might have in your home already. No matter what you're looking for - expensive or cheap paintball guns, you should be able to find one that is fun for you somewhere online.
