I know that I’m not the only person out there who can’t afford to run out to the nearest paintball supply depot and lay down $800 or $900 for a new paintball gun, be it a Cheap Paintball Gun or the most expensive one on the market.

So, I decided to do some research and hey- thought I might as well share it with anyone else in the same boat!!

I know that these are some of the things that you need to check for. Hey- its not worth spending any amount of money on a gun if it doesn’t work or is dangerous to use!

So, when you’re ready to go shopping for a nice Cheap Paintball Gun, here’s the things that I look for first:

Weight

A good cheap paintball gun should be fairly lightweight. If you are going to carrying a gun around for hours at a time- you really want to it to be fairly light!

Ease of operation

A good cheap paintball gun should easy to use. Look at the manual and make sure you avoid paintball guns where you have to use more than one tool to adjust the paintball gun velocity, or where you have to take the paintball gun apart to adjust velocity. You should also be able to load paint and charge up with air and fire easily.

Reliability and durability

Even a cheap paintball gun should be reliable and durable. The paintball gun needs to be able to be knocked around without damaging the gun and it needs to function both cold and hot weather.

Precision and velocity

Check to see that the paintball gun is consistent in its velocity. Also check for side to side motion. Too much side to side motion will affect your shots badly.

Paintballs

A paintball gun should work with any brand of paint ball. Be sure to check to see if the brand you are researching breaks the cheaper brands of paint balls. Remember that you don’t often have a choice over the brand of paint balls you use.

A safety mechanism

Any paintball gun should have a safety mechanism which will make the paintball gun impossible to fire if turned on.

Ease of maintenance and cleaning

Any decent paintball gun should be easy to clean and maintain. Be sure to check the manual to see how easy it will be. Also check to see how often the paintball gun will need to be oiled. If it is after every two hundred shots- you may spend more time oiling than you will playing!

Finally- Upgrades and Accessories

Always check to make sure that you will be able to upgrade the gun when you are able to. Check to see what accessories your new CHEAP PAINTBALL GUN will be compatible with.
