Times Are Tough, Build Your Own Sniper Paintball Gun

Do you want to know how to build the ultimate Tippman sniper paintball gun? There is much controversy in the paintball world when it comes to snipers. Many believe that there is no such thing, as paintballs don't fly straight and it is impractical to snipe. Others believe that although all markers have the same range, a good homemade gun can hit from long range.

Steps

Purchase a decent barrel – for the ultimate sniper paintball gun, there are a variety of lengths and materials that can drastically increase your accuracy. The two things that most influence your accuracy are the paintball, and barrel combination. The Flatline Barrel System by Tippmann is proven to increase range. If you don't get a flatline, a barrel 14-16 inches will do just fine. Do not get anything longer than 16 inches as it will only hurt your accuracy.  It takes more force to push the ball through the barrel and you will have to increase the velocity adjuster. You can match the size of your barrel to the size of the paintballs you are shooting. Make sure your barrel has the right threading. For example, the A5 takes different threading than the 98 custom. Size does count!

A good paintball match to your barrel

All paintballs say they are .68 caliber, but all brands still aren't all exactly the same size. If the paintballs you are shooting do not match your barrel, they will either not shoot straight, or they will burst in the barrel. You can tell if the paintball matches the barrel by removing your barrel and dropping a paintball in it. If it just rolls out, the paintball is too small; if it gets stuck when you blow into the barrel, it is too big. It needs not to fall out but go through easily whenever you blow into the barrel.

Reduce friction within the marker

Tippmann makes the best sniper paintball guns.  They are, however, one of the most popular markers for woodsball and many people "snipe" with them, but from the factory Tippmanns have paint residue in the receiver where the bolts move and this causes friction. If you polish the contact points between the front bolt, rear bolt, and the receivers, you can drastically decrease friction within the marker, making the Tippmann shoot much more consistently. And consistency is just as important as accuracy. Paintball gun review has proved that the Tippmann is the best paintball gun on the market and would work best as a sniper paintball gun.

Tips - Care for your sniper paintball gun marker.

Camouflage your marker well. Stick some brush from your surrounding area on the gun while you are waiting.

Avoid anything shiny. The reflection will give your position away.

Avoid anything big on you, or your marker, "no 21inch barrels"!
