Keeping Up With Paintball Accessories
Having the A-5 paintball marker, tanks, guns, vests and other equipment complete the excitement when you plan to play paintball. But little do others know that it is the small and simple things that count even before the game begins. Sometimes the little accessories that are locked in a toolbox are all that are needed to complete a BPS paintball game. A toolbox is the first aid kit of the game if anything goes wrong that is unexpected or unavoidable, there is no reason to fret.
The gun’s manual: there are instances in the game when the gun has to undergo “intensive surgery”.Regardless of the similarities of some, paintball guns are all different. If that time comes when it needs to be disassembled, the manual can make it easier to put it all back together. Try to find manuals with problem solving ideas, they really help.
Reserve batteries: to function properly, some guns do require batteries. It would be such a waste of time if in the middle of the game the batteries died and you could not continue to play so keep new batteries available.
Allen wrench to the rescue: some players have either inherited their guns from their friends or bought second-hand guns.Buy a set of Allen wrenches when purchasing a gun and keep them handy.
Oil ole’! Make sure that there is a small can of oil for the electronic paintball gun inside the box as well. Sometimes weather dictates if the gun needs oiling; be sure to get the specific oil type recommended by the manual for the gun.
Mask lens as a spare: the mask lens will eventually become scratched or blurry. Don’t hesitate to replace them if your vision is impaired as this really affects how the game is played.
Squeegee anyone? Carrying one on the field is enough during a game, so why not bring a replacement if anything goes wrong? It saves time for playing rather than looking for a squeegee.
Reserved O-rings and Cupseals: it’s best to replace the cupseal before they are damaged which will affect the function of the paintball gun.
And for the player, always have a neck guard around to save the neck from those disturbing shots that hit your neck. There may be a team available to do first aid when something goes wrong but it would make sense to carry a personal first aid kit.To have a worry free paintball game, carry spare safety equipment like gloves, mask, and pads.
