Paintball Part Best Bang For Your Buck

June 20, 2009 · Filed Under Hobbies 

Paintball games involve a great amount of strategy to win. The method and planning does not only go for game tactics but also for gear. Having the best paintball hardware can just be as equal to having a great amount of skill and talent. One of your most critical paintball parts is the paintball tank.

Co2 and compressed air

Paintball tanks come in 2 variants. A co2 tank contains co2 gas while HPA tanks contain compressed air. Each has its own set of advantages and downsides but both function to shove paintballs from your marker. The standard of your tank dictates the range and force of your shots so select sensibly.

Temperature and paintball tanks

Make sure to check the temperature of your playing field before squirreling away tanks. Co2 tanks have a history of malfunctioning in temperatures less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit so if you will be playing under these conditions best to invest on HPA tanks. Having a mixture of both available is also a good contingency and particularly if you expect lengthy game times.

Best bang for your buck

Cost wise co2 tanks are less expensive compared to the HPA variant. A Co2 tank sometimes comes in 12oz, 16oz, twenty 0z, and 24oz denominations with a mean of eight hundred shots per 20oz tank. HPA tanks can shove less than eight hundred which make it a lot more pricey but have much less reports of malfunctions.

When choosing which paintball tank to but it’s best to consider getting most of co2’s and keeping some HPA’s for back up.
