Paintball guns or markers differ from one another in terms of capacity to hold paint balls, speed to fire, types of operation and so on. Learn about different types of paintball guns available in the market to decide the best one for your needs.

From the time they were used in the first paintball game, the paintball guns have evolved significantly. Different brands have launched different designs of paintball markers or guns to match the levels of expertise of players. Here is a discussion about various types of paintball games so that you know which design matches your level and requirements of playing paintball.

Paintball Guns, Rifles, Pistols and Markers

Though intended for the same purpose of firing paint balls, a paintball pistol may differ from a paintball gun in terms of design, size and features. Paintball markers and rifles are identical pieces of equipment used in paintball. You must go through the differences in all these varieties with the help of an expert and choose the most suitable one.

From Manual to Semi-automatic and Automatic

Paintball guns initially used consisted of manually operated guns that had slow speed of firing the paint balls. With the passage of time, these designs gave way to semi-automatic and automatic paintball guns that replaced manual operation with automatic operation. If you prefer a semi or fully automatic paintball gun, you must consider the safety aspects at first.

Mechanical and Electronic Guns

Mechanical guns use mechanical parts to operate and make a lot of noise. On the other hand, electronic guns have silent operation and they run on batteries. This means that you need to bear more cost for having an electronically operated paintball gun.

Stock Guns

The guns have been borrowed from stock only games and are a good choice for the beginner level paintball players. They can stock only few number of paint balls at one time and are not preferred by expert players who prefer automatic guns instead.

Paintball guns may differ in terms of Hooper capacity, color, speed and accuracy. Besides, these guns may differ on the basis of paintball game version they are used for. Consult with an expert paintball player to learn more about each of these paintball markers and ensure that you start your paintball experience with a good shot.
