subject: Paintball Pistols Are Reinvigorating The Paintball Industry [print this page] Our sport started in the '70's, which is not all that long ago. The first paintball guns were not even close to as efficient as the paintball markers that you can buy today. Every year, paintball guns get a little bit better. Nowadays, a decent paintball marker can shoot paintballs at a ridiculous rate of fire. Which is both a really good, and a really bad thing. Because you are limited by how much your paintball hopper can hold (which is usually around 200-300 paintballs), you can run out of ammo in a very short period of time.
With the high rate of fire from modern day paintball guns, you really can only have about 10 seconds or so of firepower. What happens when you run out of ammo? You are a sitting duck on the paintball field, and are left completely vulnerable to a whole world of hurt. Unless, of course, you are well equipped with a paintball handguns.
Paintball handguns are a wise decision nowadays. Not all paintball players have caught on to this phenomenon, which will give you a significant advantage on the paintball fields.
Here are the top 3 paintball handguns available at paintball stores.
Numero Uno is the T68 Gen3. This paintball pistol is flawless. It shoots a great distance, has awesome accuracy. And surprisingly, is the cheapest firearm on this list. And yet, it's ranked number one. What a score and a half.
2 - Both the Ram P99 and the t68 gen3 could easily have the number one slot, because they are fairly comparable in almost every way. What set's this one a slot below is its price. It costs twice as much as the t68.
3 - Tippmann TPX - very cool paintball handgun that has the best range by a fairly wide margin. Some consumers have complained that it chops paintballs from time to time. Which is the reason why it picks up the third slot. Still, it is one of the best paintball pistols out there.
If you do not have one of these three paintball handguns, then you are at a disadvantage. You absolutely need a secondary firearm, to be successful in paintball nowadays. The T68 Gen3 is the paintball pistol that I prefer, but the other two on the list are very awesome as well. I hope you find the handgun that is right for you.
