			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="Paintball Gun Package" src="http://www.thepaintballblog.com/images/package.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />Millions of people have grown to love the sport of Paintball because of the overall teamwork, fair-play and excitement they find in the game.</p>
<p>Whatever your standard, be it beginner or experienced player you will not want to be in the field without a paintball gun, also known as a paintball marker.</p>
<p>l never do in the field without a paintball gun, also known as paintball marker. This is what paintball is all about - firing paintballs with paintguns. The question is as a beginner "How do I pick a paintball gun package?"</p>
<p>There are a number of paintball gun packages on the market all varying in features. materials, quality and price.</p>
<p>Professional players are aware that various gun packages can determine the performance of their play. This may not matter to the beginner initially but eventually the player will know exactly how his rifle performs over and above the others.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p>So, what really matters in a gun? It is important that you choose the appropriate gun for your level of expertise. This avoids you appearing to be new to the game. The several roles in the game require different types of guns.</p>
<p>For example, a frontline player may need a short pistol in order to fire at short range, whereas a sniper would required a special kind of gun to enable the player to shoot at long range with the slightest sound so as to remain undetected.</p>
<p>Bear in mind you are using paintballs and not bullets. Most barrels, which are a crucial part of the paintball guns,Â  are made of ceramic, aluminum or stainless steel and the barrel needs to be smooth in order to allow the paintballs to travel at their maximum possible speed.Â  A barrel with an uneven interior may cause the pinball to burst before being dispersed from the gun.</p>
<p>In a game where speed counts in order to eliminate the enemy it is essential that the painball gun releases the paintballs effectively and without delay. Weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of the materials the paintball markers are made from will help you choose your gun.</p>
<p>It is essential to remember quality is not always reflected in the price. There are perfectly adequate in performance low priced paintball gun packages whilst not all of the more expensive packages are of the best quality.</p>
<p>Although it may help you to take advice from your team mates on what paintball packages they prefer, the final decision is yours and in the end it all rests with your personal preference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="Paintball Equipment" src="http://www.thepaintballblog.com/images/paintball-equipment.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="364" />When it comes to one of the most adrenaline-pumping activities around, paintball is one of the most favored.</p>
<p>The fundamental concepts associated with paintball are rather uncomplicated, as participants of opposing teams aim to remove other players by using an assortment of paintball equipment to "mark" those they are playing against in order to send them out of the game.</p>
<p>The rules and regulations of paintball are different depending on where and who you play against, but the basic notion of sending an opponent out of the game is pretty routine.</p>
<p>Sometimes, players have the goals of "capturing" the flag of another team (or several different teams) or aim to eliminate all of the members of another team. These are seen as some of the many different ways the paintball game is played.</p>
<p>Paintball games are more enjoyable when varying levels of paintball equipment come into play. This also helps keep the highest level of safety during game play.</p>
<p>On June 27, 1981, the first ever paintball game took place with 12 players. Two participants who have been known as playing an instrumental role in what the game is today were involved.<span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p>In 1976, Hayes Noel and Bob Gurnsey, intently listened to a story told by a friend who visited Africa and hunted buffaloes. They became inspired and dreamed of a game that actually used some of the same concepts that would produce a similar energy rush.</p>
<p>At the time, there was no standard in paintball equipment, as players simply relied on the Nelspot 007 agricultural gun, which was a product of the Nelson Paint Company that dated back to the 1950s. These products could mark trees from a distance and were quite helpful to forestry personnel. To mark cows, cattle owners also used this type of paintball equipment.</p>
<p>Currently, a range of paintball equipment hailing from a variety of paintball equipment manufacturers are easily located in specialized shops, as well as outdoor-related stores.</p>
<p>Fundamentally significant to the game of paintball, the solution to accessories and items in order for paintball to become a sport is centered on paintball equipment.</p>
<p>In relation to all other sporting options, decent paintball equipment doesnâ€™t always equate into victorious paintball players. However, poor paintball equipment can most certainly influence a negative outcome pertaining to the game.</p>
<p>At the very least, the most simple of paintball equipment involves paintball makers (that contain a reasonable amount of decent propellant to fire paintball markers), and shielding head gear (like masks that protect the face and eyes of a participant).</p>
<p>For the more intense paintball player, there is paintball equipment that offers extra protection, such as elbow pads, knee pads, outdoor packs (that hold paintball markers), gloves, throat protectors, chest protectors, as well as a cleaning swab or squeegee that cleans out paintball gun barrels â€“ all of which are sometimes very much needed.</p>
<p>There is a high demand for equipment when one wishes to play paintball, as there is a large amount of paintball equipment that offers great solutions. Therefore, what is taking you so long? Collect all the necessary paintball gear you require and have a good time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="Paintball In The Rain" src="http://www.thepaintballblog.com/images/rain.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="156" />Rain and paintball go together like peanut butter and jelly. Rain adds an exciting element to the game that you can't get on a dry day.</p>
<p>Rainy day games are more difficult because of the mud. Slipping, sliding, and difficulty stopping when you run all need to be compensated for. Simple moves, such as crouching, are made difficult. The challenge that rain brings to the game makes playing in the rain a perfect way to test your skills.</p>
<p>Some guidelines to follow for those of you who want to play paintball in the rain include:<span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>Wearing rain gear is smart. Put on a raincoat or slicker before you go to the paintball field. If you don't own waterproof clothing you can use trash bags over your clothes, cut out arm holes and a hole for your head and you can slip the bag on like a t-shirt. Shivering can affect your accuracy as well as restrict movement, not to mention how uncomfortable getting soaked can be.</p>
<p>A waterproof hat or other head covering can be helpful as well. You need to keep from having your goggles fogged up and avoid rain running down your face and breaking your concentration.</p>
<p>Paper towels are your friend. Bring them along to assist you with foggy goggles. Pay attention to game play and keep safety in mind when you wipe off your goggles, so this in a crouching position facing away from the action to protect your face.</p>
<p>You don't want wet feet, wearing boots can assist with this. Cleats can help with this as well as assist with traction. Your hands can get very cold in the rain, wearing gloves will protect them from the rain.</p>
<p>Keep your gear as dry as possible. Bring along a plastic bag for your paintballs. Extra plastic bags can work to cover your gear as well as covering yourself when needed. You can waterproof your weapon by covering it with plastic secured with rubber bands.</p>
<p>Shooting in the rain is not the same as shooting on a dry day. You may want to use a non-ported barrel to keep the rain out if you have one to keep from having your shots twist.</p>
<p>Paintball can be played in many different ways in all sorts of weather conditions. Use your imagination and keep safety in mind while having fun.</p>
