If you have ever shot a Tippman before, then you should have a pretty good idea of how the TMC shoots. In terms of authenticity, this really looks and feels amazing. However, it’s quite a bit heavy for a paintball gun, which is something that you should be aware of when purchasing.

The Tippmann TMC MAGFED also has a blowback style bolt/valve that operates at tank pressure, which means the marker runs at around 750 PSI. The TMC tends to kicks and is also known to be a bit loud, this is due to Its high-pressure operation.

We also noticed that the TMC uses the same trigger frame as the Cronus and if you have ever shot a Cronus before then you’d know that the Cronus has a very comfortable trigger frame. It comes with a rubber grip that is easy to hold and the best thing about this marker is its accuracy.

Best Paintball Gun Buying Guide

If you are a newbie looking to purchase your first paintball gun, it is possible that you might get confused at first. As a new player in the sport, there are a lot of different options to choose from since paintball guns come in a wide variety of styles and models. This is why it might be difficult for you to make a solid choice. But don’t worry, I’ve listed a few tips and tricks to help you make the right buying decision.

Weight

The weight of the paintball gun is definitely one of the most important factors you should consider before buying. The reason being is because the weight plays an important role in how the marker will perform while on the battlefield. Investing in a heavy gun will cause difficulties when carrying it around on the field.

With that said, you should only purchase a marker that has a lightweight design. By doing so it will make things much easier for you while walking around.

Customizable

Before buying a paintball gun you may also want to check if you will have the option to customize it to your personal style. It is important to note that most players also have different preferences in terms of the marker they are using. This is why you should only invest in a gun that is highly customizable.

Customizing your paintball gun will make it much easier for you since you will be able to adapt to various scenarios that might occur throughout the game. You should also aim for a gun that has multiple firing modes. With this, you will have the option to save your paintballs or just fire rapidly.

Ease of Disassembly

It is also advisable to check whether or not the paintball gun is easy to disassemble. You should keep in mind that just like other types of guns, this marker also has the tendency of getting jammed at times. When this occurs, you might need to use a tool to get it operating again.

Fortunately, you have the option to choose a paintball gun that is easy to disassemble without using any tool to get the job done. There are markers on this list that you can take apart within just a few minutes.

Power Source

In this modern-day paintball guns are operated using one of two power sources, you can use either carbon dioxide gas (CO2) or high weight air (HPA). Depending on where you live and normally where you play your paintball games, you may think that it is easier to obtain refills for your CO2 tank than for an HPA tank.

It is important that if your power supply is CO2, you should stay with paintball markers that are made for CO2. When it comes to CO2 bottles they do have certain advantages. One of them being the cost. CO2 tanks are extremely cheap, allowing players the opportunity to purchase several for a full day of intense shooting. The drawback of using CO2 is that it can affect the performance of your game at times.

Price

The price is also very important when it comes to buying a paintball gun. Remember that you will also need to buy a few add ons apart from just the marker. Taking all these into consideration will make it easier for you to plan your spending budget before you purchase a paintball gun.

The Different Types of Paintball Guns

Pump Paintball Guns

These are known to be the oldest types of paintball markers available on the market. This type of marker also has the slowest firing rate since you have to always manually pump it before you fire. It is very similar to using a shotgun in the sense that the shooter has to constantly pump the gun in order to cock the gun and also chamber each round for every single shot. If you are ever planning on using a pump paintball gun against your enemies while on the battlefield with the electro-pneumatic or mechanical marker, you will totally be at a great disadvantage. While this gun is not as famous as it was ages ago, you can still see some players using it on the playground, especially if there is an event going on that involves stock class paintball.

Mechanical Markers

These are the most common types of markers used in both commercially-operated paintball field and recreational play. The main reason is that these guns can be easily used and maintained and is also capable of using in any weather conditions and still providing an amazing firing range and rate.

These paintball markers are designed to be operated mechanically and mechanical only. Most semi-automatic mechanical guns are blowback guns. These markers normally fire when the pulled trigger releases a bolt which is propelled forward by a spring and pushes the paintball into the barrel. After the ball gets into the barrel, the bolt then strikes a pin, opening the valve, allowing air to reach down the barrel. After that, you’ll notice the force provided by the expanding air to force back the bolt to its original position.

There are many different types of mechanical paintball guns available and these guns are very affordable, durable and easy to handle. These are definitely a great choice for beginners shopping around to invest in their first paintball marker.

Electropneumatic Markers

If you are paintball enthusiast then you may already know by now that the electro-pneumatic markers have the fastest firing rates and amazing firing metrics. The only downside with these guns is the fact that they are a bit difficult to use and are known to be more sensitive as compared to using a mechanically operated marker.

These guns fire paintballs by using a battery-powered circuit board that activate solenoids which cause the gun to shoot. Each time you pull the trigger, the circuit boards receive a signal that it is time to fire, and since the boards are programmable, it’s easy to tell the board to fire automatically, use a three round burst or any other firing modes.

One of the biggest advantages of the electronic market is that it is capable of firing faster, accurate and consistent than if you were using a mechanical paintball gun.

What Equipment Do I Need For Paintball?

There’s no doubt that you need your paintball gun, but apart from that you also need to invest in a few safety gear to ensure that your body is well protected. While paintball guns won’t necessarily kill you, then tend to be very dangerous without the right precautions.

• Face Mask – Face mask is one of the most important gear you can have since it helps to protect your face eyes while you are on the battlefield. So before you spend all your cash on buying a paintball marker, you should try and get a paintball mask as well.
• Safety Gear – You’ll need a few other safety gears such a knee and elbow pads for a safe smooth gameplay. Gloves are also a great option, but only if they help you to maneuver quickly on the field. Vest that’s designed for paintball would also be a great investment. As you play you will know what you want to take your gameplay to the next level.
• Hopper – The “magazine” in paintball is called hopper. If you’re just starting out you can begin with Gravity-fed hoppers as you would have less to worry about, but electronic hopper can allow you to shoot rapidly in a short time frame.

Tips to Improve Your Paintball Gameplay

• First thing you must be aware of your surrounding as this is very Important. You must be focus and think quickly on any changes that occur in the environment. Also, make sure that you keep moving throughout the entire game.
• One common mistake that a lot of people make is popping out of the same twice at the same time. What you can do is move at a higher position or a lower one and shoot from multiple directions so that your opponents will have a hard time predicting you.
• Your opponents should not know about your moves and this will give you a huge advantage on the field. Keeping your opponents blind while you dominate the game is a great strategy.
• Pay close attention to your teammates. If you think it is wise to go off alone, it is not because you will have more chances of being attacked which will cause you to lose the game.
• I highly recommend that you stay in groups and watch it eachother back. This will cause your opponents to have a harder time in sneaking up and eliminate someone. You should not underestimate the use of a friendly cover on the battlefield.
• Try your best to keep your opponents at ease and the best way to do this is shoot at them. Their heads will be down because of this and they will not gain any chance of sneaking up.

By simply following all these methods, you will have a higher chance of dominating the battlefield with your teammates.
