What are the pros and cons of electric and gas powered paintball guns? Which do you recommend?
Hey there. I am really trying to choose wisely on what kind of paintball gun I am going to buy. I just wanted to know which one is better in quality and performance. Do you know of any good paintball sites where I can buy any pb markers and gear? Thank you.
Ok let me help. You have a lot of things to sort out here.
All paintball gear runs off of some type of propellant (air). The most common is CO2. There is also HPA which is compressed air. It is cleaner and is needed on higher level guns.
The electronic guns that you’re seeing still need one of these air systems. The electronic part of it is the trigger. Instead of a mechanical trigger where you physically pull the trigger which releases the hammer, in an electric marker you pull the trigger which works a solenoid or pneumatics…no matter what you have you still need some type of air.
To get started I would recommend to you maybe a Tippmann 98 Custom or a Spyder Pilot ACS. Both are solid markers that are pretty easy to use and work on and clean. They’re pretty solid markers.
As far as online purchasing….I would suggest
http://discountpaintballgear.actvil.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/BrowseCatalog-Start?CategoryName=paintball
http://www.firstcallpaintball.com/pages-main/index.html
Before you go buying stuff however, might I suggest a couple other websites to you so you can get some info about what it is that you’re buying.
http://www.pbreview.com/ before you buy anything check it out here first and see what other players are saying about it
http://www.warpig.com/ LOTS of info here. Huge knowledge base about most everything.
I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck.

I’ve been playing for years. I’ve fixed or tinkered with most markers on the market.

Contact me…I have a full set up for sale. Tippmann A-5 with response trigger, spare gun and all the goodies.
Tippmann never used other than setting it up. Changed jobs and can’t get free to war with my friends anymore.
Both electric and manual are good guns. I used to be an electric guy but went over to Tippmann for woods play.
