4.1 Paintball: Which Gun Should I Buy?
Buying that first paintball gun is a subjective decision that a player
must make for himself. No single gun is going to please everyone. One
needs to become aware of features that are liked or disliked before a
purchase is made. Posting a message asking which gun to buy will give
you a plethora of answers - none of which you can use. You need to find
the gun that is best for you. The answers you will receive are the guns
that are best for them.
The recommendations most commonly given are to shoot as many different
guns as possible and ask other players why they chose their gun. Most
experienced players are even cool enough to let you take a couple of
shots on the target range or even play a game with their gun. Also, make
a list of features you want, then do some research to find the gun which
has those features and is still in your price range. For example, I want
a semi automatic gun with an upgradeable barrel, built in vertical
adapter, and a reputation for durability for $350.
You can even use r.s.p. as a resource. But instead of asking "Which gun
should I buy?" ask the question "How is the X-1 Paintblaster as a
starter gun?" Such a question will give you both the pros and the cons
of a gun and be much more informative.
