How to Get Paintball Equipment and Gear

The sport of paintball requires certain protective gear. This gear helps prevent scratches, bruises and (most importantly) loss of eyesight during a game. While the equipment and gear that you use does not have to be expensive, it does need to be of enough quality to provide safety.

Instructions

1. Get the main piece of paintball equipment first. This is your paintball marker or paintball gun. Ranging widely in price, there are also many styles and brands to choose from. Pump action guns and semi-automatic paintball guns are popular. The most popular paintball marker nowadays is the electronic style.

2. Choose the correct face mask to play paintball. The face mask is one of the most important parts of your gear. It's important to make sure that the face mask covers your whole face and your ears. Face masks also have different types of lenses. The most popular is the anti-fog lens. It is crucial that the face mask fits properly so that it doesn't slide down your face or fall off during a game.

3. Pick clothing as another important element of paintball equipment and gear. Purchase a jersey that doesn't fit too tightly. If it's loose, it will absorb some of the velocity of incoming paintballs, thus helping to minimize bruising during a game.

4. Wear pants for a paintball game that have pads built in for sliding, kneeling and sudden drops to the knees as you play. Get elbow pads, too. It's important to buy paintball gloves as part of your gear to protect your hands.
