Beginner's Guide to Paintball Guns

Aside from having an entry level gun for beginner's, the one important thing you will need is a high quality mask. This is a must and not a want. After you've found yourself a good mask you can rely on and wear without the worry of replacing you will need to find yourself a good entry level gun that best suites you.

Getting your own gun is important because I would not want to be a player who's seen every time he's in the field with a beat down rental gun, shelling out money every single time I come to play, so you're saving money in the process of making yourself look like an obvious newb.

A lot of new players will feel overwhelmed with all the guns out there and they won't know which one to look at. Cost is one thing that should be looked at when purchasing your gun, because you don't want to shell out a ton of money on a gun that you see experts carrying.

Reliability and weight play another factor when looking for a beginner's gun, because while most of them may look cool, you want a gun that you can rely on without worrying about it. The easy of maintenence of a gun should also be factored in because some of the advanced guns you'll most likely be looking at because of how "cool" they look can be very difficult to maintain at a beginner's level and poor gun maintenence can be a huge downfall.

While some other aspects should play a role in choosing a beginner's gun they should are not as important as the other factors we've talked about. Some of these things are balance, speed, style and trigger, and these parts should not be considered as important because these parts can always be adjusted or upgraded in the future when you're more familiar with them. Once you've narrowed down what you're looking for in a gun you'll most likely be aimed towards a specific gun.

If you're looking for a gun that will get you by and just get you out into the field and get you playing and starting out then it would be best to look at guns under the one hundred dollar range. Getting a gun at this price range will be best for the player on a short budget and you can start off with something easy until you customize it to your liking.
