Not all paintball guns are the same. There is a large variety on the market and they come in many shapes and sizes. The type of gun that you will need will depend on the type of game that you are involved in and how experienced an action paintball player you really are. In order to choose the correct gun, you will want to understand the different types that are available and the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

One type of gun that you may see on the paintball field is the stock gun. These are mostly used during stock only games, but can be used in other games as well. The reason why these guns are mostly used in stock only games is because of their inability to shoot the number of rounds that other guns can.

The tube that feeds the gun can only hold 10 balls at a time and it must stay parallel to the chamber, requiring you to tilt it to load your paintballs. If you do use a stock gun in other games, then you must realize that you are most likely going to be out-gunned. Pistols are another type of gun that will need to be reloaded often, also offering about 10 shots before you need to reload. While you can use them in most games of this sport, they are mostly used as a back-up weapon.

One of the most popular types of paintball guns is the semi-automatic. While these are popular they can also be very expensive. You may find yourself spending over $1000 for a semi-automatic paintball gun, but some can be found at lower prices. These have a very sensitive trigger and shoot paintballs much faster than guns with a heavier trigger.
