Tips for customizing your own paintball gun
If you just bought your first paintball gun, or if you’ve had one for a while but are starting to get bored with it, then you might be thinking of ways to customize it. There are many different ways to customize the appearance of your paintball gun, from purely visual modifications to physical modifications to the hardware itself. This article will detail the top 5 ways to customize your paintball gun.
COSMETIC CHANGES
Do you want to change the look of your paintball gun, but are you satisfied with its physical appearance? No problem, you probably just want to consider making cosmetic changes to the paintball gun and leave the hardware alone for now.
1 – DECALS
You can buy decals on the internet very easily from many of the major companies that produce equipment. Purchase decals that you think will look good on or complement the weapon. You can also try to match the color of the stickers with the clothes you wear when playing the game.
2 – LASER ENGRAVING
You can ship your gun in to get all kinds of amazing patterns and designs laser etched onto the actual body of the gun! It’s an amazing effect and very unique if that’s what you’re after. It also won’t have any impact on how the weapon works, and you’re guaranteed that no one else will have one that looks like yours. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey, but if you want to stand out from the crowd and don’t mind spending the extra money, laser engraving could be a great option for you.
HARDWARE CHANGES
If the stickers aren’t good enough, then it might be time to change some of the gear you’re wearing. Some will have no impact on how the weapon works, and some will, the choice is up to you.
3 – BARRELS
You might consider putting a new barrel on your paintball gun. There are a variety of color schemes available, and you can also get barrels of different lengths. Please consider carefully what you use because all barrels are different. For a tactical look, there are plenty of options too, with tactical rails, scopes, barrel guards, and more.
4 – INVENTORY
You can also get stocks that are attached to your paintball gun and are used for added stability when shooting. There are many options from fixed, dog-leg, air-through, telescopic and many more. They are great for a tactical look, but are usually only available for mechanical paintball pistols like the Tippmann series of pistols.
5 – HOPPERS
Every paintball gun should have a hopper, but not all hoppers are the same, both in capacity and in appearance. If you want to change the look of your paintball gun without changing the gun itself, a hopper upgrade might be a good option for you. There are many different types available from all the major manufacturers of paintball equipment. The hopper can be the crown jewel of your paintball gun, and it can also really improve how your gun works!
