Reasons To Upgrade Your Paintball Marker
Almost every sport has different levels of gear and equipment. When you are just beginning you usually start out with cheaper equipment. This way you don’t have to put out as much money before you know how serious you are about the sport. However, once you become more experienced, you will likely want better equipment. Higher quality equipment helps you perform better and reach your goals.
You Have Become a More Serious Player
When you started playing paintball at AC Paintball in southern New Jersey, you likely just rented one of AC Paintball’s rental markers, the Tippmann Custom 98 or the Valken V-Tac SW-1 marker. These are great overall markers and are one of the best choices for beginner to intermediate level players. If you want a marker that is good at something specific, though, you should look into an upgrade.
Now you have multiple games under your belt, though you may want to look into upgrading your gun to something that will help you play better. You likely have a position you like to play, a field you like to play on and a favorite game. You want something that complements your playing style and can do what you need it to do. This way you can become a better player.
You Want To Fire At Long Distances More Accurately
AC Paintball has multiple wooded fields, including the Black Ops Pentagon Woods Field, the Blue Thunder Woods Field, and the Red Dawn Woods Field. These fields are larger than our other speedball fields. This means that it makes sense to have a paintball gun that can shoot long distances more accurately.
With an accurate long-distance marker, you don’t have to worry about getting close to your opponents to ensure you hit them. This can give you quite an advantage when playing on a large paintball field. Having a paintball marker that can shoot long distances accurately can also help you conserve paintballs when playing on large fields. Just make sure the marker you choose is still within AC Paintballs safety guidelines.
You Want To Improve the Accuracy When You Fire Rapidly
On the other hand, if speedball games are your preference, you may want to focus on upgrading to a paintball gun that can accurately fire multiple shots in a row. AC Paintball’s speedball fields include the Hyperball Field and the Speedball Tournament Field. Games on these fields run fast. You have to be able to think on your feet and shoot your gun accurately and quickly.
The paintball gun you have can affect your ability to accomplish this. Some guns recoil more when they shoot than others. This means you may have to readjust your aim after every shot or two. It takes more time to shoot and gives your opponent a better chance to shoot back. By upgrading to a marker that is made for rapid fire, you can be better equipped to take on your opponents.
You Want to Change the Look of Your Marker
Are you interested in the aesthetics of your paintball marker? Some players like to have camouflage equipment to help them hide when playing on AC Paintball’s wooded fields. Other players like to have flashy paintball guns with bright colors or cool designs that they can show off to their friends. Scenario players also like to customize their markers to fit the theme of their game.
If you have certain wishes for the look of your paintball gun, you may also want to consider an upgrade. You can personalize your gun to reflect your personality or make it more suitable for the game you are playing.
Your Current Gun Isn’t Working Right
Paintball games are intense. Over time, your paintball gun will take a lot of wear and tear. Eventually, it may start experiencing problems. If your current marker is old, beat up, or just not functioning properly, this is one of the biggest reasons to look into an upgrade.
If you don’t have the funds for a new paintball gun, you can rent a marker from AC Paintball near Atlantic City, New Jersey as well. You can view AC Paintball’s rental guns and other equipment here: https://acpaintball.com/paintball-rental-equipment/.
