| Since the popularity of paintball took off in
the early 1980’s, this combat game underwent various innovations, not
only to make sure that the game became as competitive as it is now,
but also to heighten the level of efficiency that the players nowadays
enjoy.
There are several things to keep in mind to assure that
efficiency, and one is to make sure that you have the right paintball
marker package that suites your paintball playing needs. One of the most
important aspects in choosing a paintball marker is the propellant.
There are numerous paintball marker packages available and usually these
packages are based on the type of propellants the markers use; at present,
there are two types of markers offered on the market. One is the carbon
dioxide paintball marker package, and the other one, which is more
expensive, is the compressed air powered paintball
marker package.
Carbon Dioxide Paintball Marker Package
Just like all able soldiers, ready for combat, you should be taking
a close look at the type of paintball game you are about to
engage in. To do this you have to reflect on the number of opponents you
have, the goal of the game, and the terrain where the battle will be
taking place. With this vital information, you can then decide
on the type of paintball marker package you will be using. Carbon dioxide
powered markers come in four packages, 9 oz, 16 oz, 20 oz and 24 oz; these
packages also correspond to the number of shots you get to use, and more
importantly, to the weight of the marker that you will be carrying
throughout the game. Therefore, if you are playing in an outdoor terrain
with fewer possible opponents, any lower packages, such as dye paintball
markers, are advisable (but of course these are not the only
considerations that you have to include in your list).
Compressed Air Paintball Marker Package
Paintball is already considered a professional game worldwide, and in
fact trainings are already available to those who want to bring this
game to a higher level. In most places all over the world there are
already paintball tournaments held in more difficult landscape, with more
challenging goals (perhaps capturing a whole battalion of men). They
also have more abled men as your opponents; often, these games require
more shots! Unfortunately, most CO2 tanks are not capable of withstanding
such intense games; hence, choosing compressed air paintball marker
packages is the perfect arrangement. There are package that give
you up to 1300 shots (3000 psi tanks) and still others can
give 2000 shots (4500 psi tanks).
