Help choosin paintball marker?

Best:

Invert Mini v2 or higher

Worst DP g4

Middle gog extcy

In summary:

Newer minis are bulletproof and can go toe to toe with markers used by professional players (empire axe.. we all know its a big mini..).

Dangerous power should rename their company dangerous products because their guns have a tendency to break.. all the time.. Like fix it and 5 minutes later it breaks again. Worst piece of junk you will ever have. I have owned two and they both had problems before i finally ran over them with my truck.

gog extcy

Gog extcy is essentially the old smart parts ion. It may have problems and maintenance issues and wont be as easy to maintain as the mini but spare parts and techs will be availiable

When buying a marker, it is usually best to buy a used marker. You can find a ton of used markers on ebay or pbnation.com. A paintball marker is never "more accurate" than another. Essentially a paintball marker is just an electronic board telling a solenoid to push air when a trigger pull is registered. The amount of air is pushed through the solenoid based on an amount of milliseconds controlled by the boards dwell.

Accuracy is determined by two things; paint quality and the paint to barrel bore match. Paint comes in all sizes and quality. The accuracy is determined by how good of a seal is made on the ball as it passes through the barrel. You basically want as tight as a squeeze on the ball as possible without breaking it. For example is a paintball measures .688 and you're using a .691 barrel, you are allowing air to pass over the ball and around it rather than behind it pushing it forward. When the correct seal is not met the ball will be spun like a curve ball in baseball and the balls will not go as straight as they would if the barrel bore matched the paint size.

Shooting 25 BPS is stupid. Why? You waste paint. All it takes is 1 hit to get a person out. Shooting as much paint as you can as fast as you can may seem fun, but how fun is going through an entire case of paintballs in 80 seconds of play? At 25 balls per second and 2000 paintballs a case, you will be shooting for 80 seconds before you're completely through a 60$ case of paintballs.

Tournament paintball is played with a ball per second cap to keep players from shooting 25 balls per second. Most fields will not allow you to shoot that fast. Most fields are capped around 12 balls per second. Anything faster will get you kicked out pretty fast since it is not fair or fun for people using rental markers.

The g4 is a great starter marker. It feels nice in the hands and is easy to maintain. Learn the marker before you use it because you will have to maintenance it. Best of luck young paintball player.

its really all up to you, all of those guns have their ups and downs

G4: light, trigger, small, not efficient, bolt stick problems, on/off asa, lever lock clamping feedneck, macroline,
