What are Paintballs?

By: Samuel Morhaim

What are paintballs? Well, they are small gelatin capsules filled with a water-soluble marking dye. The dye in the capsule in not toxic, which means that it won't hurt you even if you were to gulp it down. But, I wouldn't ingest it if I were you, that is unless I liked the taste of ink!

A number of companies like www.sakworldpaintball.com supply paintballs. There are good and expensive paintballs and not so good inexpensive paint balls. You can buy paintballs in almost any color in the world and in just about any quantity.

The paint is water based, so it will easily wash out, although this might be annoying if you want to play in the rain. The place you play paintball is usually outside, and so is referred to as a field even if it is wooded as many are. Most such places ask you to buy their paint, but some will allow you to bring your own for a small fee.

The way you intend to use your paintballs will determine which paintballs you buy, as they each have a different thickness of filling. You can see a variety of different paintballs at http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/paintballs.html.

If your paintball has to be practical, you won't need a high end product and can buy something cheaper which will still work. Of course, for tournament play, the quality of the ball is the most important factor. You need to get balls that won't burst easily inside your gun, or on contact with the air. At the same time, you need bals that will burst when they hit your opponent.

Apart from its quality the other important factors you must pay attention to is the size of the paintball. Your paintballs should fit into your paintball guns perfectly. Paintball sizes are measured in calibers. Paintballs are all .68 buts its the last number that makes a difference. Most paintballs these days are .689. If your local field paint is too big for your barrel you might consider getting a new barrel http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/paintball-barrels.html .

You have to know the exact measure of your gun to find matching balls. If the ball is the wrong size, it will break in your gun, and all you'll be shooting is a stream of paint. Not very effective.

Paintball guns themselves come in a number of varieties, like the paintballs themselves. Consider the Ion gun, which has all the standard features you woudl expect, plus is extremely versatile. Think about your level of skill and expertise when choosing a gun, as well as your budget. There's no point having an excellent gun if you can't aim it accurately. If you have a look at http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/paintball-guns-markers.html you will see a list of paintball guns you might be interested in.

If you have a look at http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/smpaionpagun.html, you can see the it has a 17/sec firing rate and can launch 10 balls/sec on automatic. Combine this with its low price, and you have an excellent reason it some serious consideration. Besides these factors, it is very light at 2.2 pounds, and is as good as many tournament guns on the market today. So give it a try, and it might just be the winning tool.

If you are looking for a very high end paintball gun, the best place to shop is Planet Eclipse. Head out to http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/planeteclipse.html and take a look at some of the guns on offer there. They make some of the best paintball guns.

But if you don't know what exactly you want, have a look at SAK WORLD PAINTBALL (http://www.sakworldpaintball.com). They are one of the best online stores, and keep up to date with the newest guns.
