The Right Paintball Marker Package For Your Needs


20.08.2009 13:43
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).
