The New New Players guide, Thanks paintball.com

"what gun should I buy?". I would highly suggest purchasing a semi-auto. They are just a lot easier to play with to start. You pull the trigger and a ball comes out the end. Very nice.

DO NOT purchase a tournament level gun right out of the blocks. Most newbies that do end up spending more time working on it than playing (because they don't know how to care for it and they break it or get it so gooped up that it doesn't work right).

Practice, practice, practice. Practice shooting, practice loading and practice cleaning. When you get on the field, you don't want to have to think about these things.

Q: What is a fully-automatic paintball gun?
A: This means a marker that will continue to cycle and shoot after only one trigger pull, as long as the trigger is not released. They are disallowed in tournaments and at most fields.

LOADERS
Q: Can a person shoot faster than balls can load into the marker?
A: Yes, a player with a fast trigger finger can do this. One way to help keep the balls feeding at a fast rate is to use a loader that has an agitator (motor driven), which stirs the balls and helps them move steadily into the drop and down into the chamber.

Q: What's the right way to measure how much compressed gas (nitrogen) or compressed air to put into a tank?
A: A compressed air system (nitrogen or air) is filled by pressure, which is measured on a pressure gauge. The pressure to which a tank can be filled depends on the tank. Some are rated to 1800 psi (pounds per square inch). Others are rated to 3,000 psi or 4500 psi. Fills should only be done by properly trained persons. An overfilled tank can rupture its safety burst disk or the tank itself could rupture.

AIRSMITH
Q: What is an airsmith?
A: A person trained to work on paintball guns. It also refers to a person trained to work on other kinds of airguns.
