Communication is Key
When spending time nature, having the proper gear and equipment is essential. Most of my trips into the great outdoors entail at least a couple rounds of paintball, and when you have a team of players, you need a reliable means of communication. Cobra two way radios are ideal for this purpose. As you can imagine, there are several factors to consider before you invest in a radio set:
~How far away do you need to talk?
~What is your budget?
~What features do you need?
~Where are you going to use these radios?
Pressure Gauge
If you are seriouse about the game, you will also be just as seriouse about keeping you paintball gear in tip top shape so that it will perform the way that you would expect it to do.
Keep your velocity of your marker in safe limits of 280FPS with superior chronograph, get the best. The pressure in your maker is important so by using a pressure gauge.
Large-Scale Paintball War Games
Last weekend some friends and I decided to get together for an immense paintball campaign. We typically get about 10-12 guys, but we unexpectedly had more than 30 people show up. Since we play in eight-acres of wilderness behind my buddy’s ranch, this number of people wasn’t a hindrance.
In fact, it gave us an opportunity to employ some of the heavy paintball artillery that usually stays in storage. Each side had several paintball machine guns, as well as grenade launchers and landmines. We ended up playing for over eight hours, and I think we will be getting together for more epic battles later this summer.
Paintball Googles
In order to ensure your safety and the safety of each and every player, great quality paintball equipment is an essential part of any paintball game. In addition, while good quality of equipment does not guarantee that you will be a good player; bad equipment is guaranteed to hinder your game and performance.
Proper maintenance of equipment is also essential. If your paintball goggles are covered in paint, it is important not to simply wipe the paint off, because doing so may cause debris to scratch the lens. You should leave the field and clean off the lens using water and a towel or a piece of cloth.
Gear for Serious Paintballers
If you are a casual paintballer, you are probably content renting a run-of-the-mill marker from your local paintball field. However, for those who take their paintballing seriously, investing in state-of-the-art equipment is essential to competing at a high level. Purchasing a top-of-the-line paintball marker isn’t enough-you’re going to need some peripherals as well.
Paintball grenades, landmines and other specialty weapons are now commonplace and the only way to decimate a large number of forces at once. Of course, you will need to make upgrades to your marker too. A laser paintball sight, for example, will help you target adversaries no matter what the lighting conditions.
