Paintball Gun: Spyder, Tippmann, Autococker, And Kingman Paintball Guns

By:

Published: August 3, 2007

There are few words that can describe the rush of adrenaline felt while in battle, where a paintball gun may be their only friend. The game of paintball is one of non-stop action, where a person must rely on their own wit and cunning just as much as they do on their paintball gun. However, the paintball gun is of extreme importance regardless of a player's skill. A good paintball gun will definitely increase a person's chances of doing better out on the field, even if they have never played before. If a person with a good paintball gun can aim and shoot, they just have to hope they can do so better than their opponents.

Finding a good paintball gun requires knowing what some of the best brands are to look for. A good place to start is actionvillage.com. Action Village has a huge variety of paintball guns from some of the top brands such as Spyder and Tippmann. A Spyder paintball gun and the Spyder logo is actually part of the Kingman paintball gun company. One can get a Kingman Spyder paintball gun in two different categories, Kingman Electronic Spyders and Kingman Semi-Automatic Spyders.

An electronic Spyder has more advanced features than a regular paintball gun, such as the ability to switch the rate of fire from semi-automatic to fully automatic. Some electronic Spyders even give a person the option of being able to fire more than one paintball at a time per trigger pull. The only downside of an electronic Spyder is the cost is usually higher than that of a regular semi-automatic. One can buy an impressive electronic Spyder from Action Village for around $150. A semi-automatic Spyder does not require a battery to be operated, all one needs is a CO2 tank to start using their paintball gun. At Action Village, someone can get a good semi-automatic Spyder for around $70.

Another good place to find paintball guns is paintballguns.net. Paintballguns.net has a wide selection of Spyder and Tippmann paintball guns. Besides from offering new paintball guns for sale, the site also sells used paintball guns and paintball gun packages. The used guns for sale part of the site is run like eBay, with each item presented as an auction item where one has to compete with other bidders for the same gun. This site is a good place to find a cheaper used paintball gun, for someone who really is not willing or able to afford a brand new paintball gun.

It is no secret Kingman makes a mean paintball gun, but a Tippmann paintball gun is not something to be taken lightly. Action Village sells Tippmann paintball guns of both kinds, both semi-automatic and electronic. A Tippmann paintball gun is considered to be a high performance piece, which is why they are a little bit pricier than some of the Kingman guns. A Tippmann Enhanced Performance paintball gun can cost up to $400 at Action Village, but there are other Tippmann guns available for as low as $120.

A popular type of paintball gun is an autococker. An autococker is a pump-action paintball gun which has a piston that pumps the gun automatically instead of the pump handle. The main downside to an autococker paintball gun is it does not fire a paintball on the first shot; the paintballs have to first cycle into the paintball gun's chamber. An autococker paintball gun has a 3-way valve that pushes CO2 in front of the piston and closes the bolt readying it for fire with each trigger pull.

No matter the type of paintball gun, whether it is a Tippmann or a Kingman Spyder, each and every paintball gun serves the same purpose. That purpose is to splatter paint at high velocities on friends or just other random players brave enough to step onto the battle field. The best thing about a paintball gun is it fun for all ages, as long as used properly and safely. So strap on a mask, load up a new paintball gun and get ready to experience the exciting game of paintball. Just try not to get any splattered paint in the mouth; it tastes disgusting.
