Silence is Sinful

Is a Paintball Kit or a Paintball Package right for you?

If you are thinking about buying a paintball kit to upgrade the paintball marker or gun you currently own then you need to also consider buying a paintball package instead. It may end up being less expensive in the long run. But  we better first explain the differences between a paintball package and paintball kit  so you can make the best decision for you.

A paintball package usually comes with most of the equipment you need to start in your adventure. It will have a marker or gun to the non-PC crowd, and depending on which package you choose, can come with paintballs, a vest, a holster, maybe a mask or goggles, and even possibly a grenade launcher. The kit are usually specific and will have all of the extras for that type of kit but does not come with a paintball marker. For example, you can purchase a kit to make your marker look like AK-47 paintball gun. It would come with an extended magazine,  a barrel kit, the wood kit, and usually a vest or some paintballs. It will not however include the marker.

Now let’s discuss whether the paintball package or the paintball kit is the best choice for you. The whole paintball package will be the obvious choice if you are just starting out and do not have a marker or if your marker is old or damaged. If you have a marker and just want to upgrade it to specialty weapon, such as a paintball sniper gun, then you first need to make sure that your marker is compatible with the kit you want to purchase. There are many different manufacturers of markers and some of them are only compatable with their own kits. The good news is that if you have a versatile marker then you can get kits to make your gun into most any type of weapon from a paintball sniper gun, to an assault rifle or even an M-16 depending on what you like. The versatility of some markers will allow you to try different things such as being a sniper one day or using a machine gun the next. But remember that  you will need to purchase the whole package if your marker is not compatible or if it  is not in the best condition.

You are the best one to judge the condition of your current gun. You need to decide if age and condition will be a factor. You may just be at a point where you are ready to invest in a better paintball marker. If your marker is old or has rust on it or if you are just ready for a better weapon then I suggest  you get a package. The main reason is that you will spend less on the marker by purchasing it with a package than by purchasing a kit now and then trying to replace your marker at a later date.
