The Perfect Paintball Gun – Marker Vs Hopper Fed Magazine
How do you choose the “Perfect Paintball Marker or Paintball Hopper for the Perfect Paintball Gun”? There are so many options that it’s enough to make a paintball player’s head spin. There are so many variables to take into account:
1. Will the paintball player play on an outdoor field, in the woods, or in an indoor arena?
2. Next, one of the biggest concerns is how affordable the paintball gun and equipment is for the paintball player.
3. Will the paintball gun or equipment be used on a regular basis or will the paintball gun and paintball equipment be used only occasionally?
If the buyer plans to use the paintball gun continuously, he should buy a high-end gun to prevent the gun from jamming and creating problems that the paintball player does not want to endure during the competition. In addition, the high-end paintball gun will give the player more satisfaction in the performance of the gun.
Two ways to load a gun are the old standard “Hopper Fed” or the newer “Hopper Fed” Paintball marker. Several paintball companies are manufacturing military markers and marker boots. The magazine markers look so real they can be mistaken for real rifles. This is the newest way to play Paintball… military style.
The magazine is low profile and players love it because they can be stealthy and camouflage their movements on the battlefield without giving up players and player position.
When the gun is overloaded with the hopper, the hopper will often reveal the position of the players on the field. The player becomes an easy prey to be taken down by the enemy. One drawback of the magazine is the inability to hold as much ammunition as the hopper. Therefore, the player must carry extra magazines and the paintball gun must be reloaded more frequently than the hopper gun.
Magazines are placed slightly behind and below the gun. This allows the player to look over the bunker and shoot. Jumpers stand out and are an easy target for the enemy.
The new magazines can fire 1,800 rounds per 68 Cu of air. This leads to serious competition. The player on the paintball field is often part of a team. And the team wears matching uniforms. Uniforms are often customized based on how players use them. The paintball equipment is hidden in the woods, exactly in the style of military camouflage. Combatants also wear camouflage. All this gives the tournament the feeling of a real military confrontation. Combatants have additional paintball equipment, hoppers, barrels, magazines, and other Paintball equipment that can be detached and changed as battle conditions require.
So which is the players favorite paintball gun…the hopper or the magazine…maybe both? There is the dedicated “woodballer” that will only use magazines. Those players want their paintball guns and paintball gear to be as authentically military as possible. The most popular right now is the magazine bookmark. Sometimes these games last for days. Duplicating WWII battles requires tons of ammunition. In this case, the player will carry hoppers and loaders. This requires the weapon to be a Splitfire Paintball pistol option. Warriors can use both actions. But for the short mission the magazine is enough.
During the heat of battle, your magazine fed paintball gun could jam if the magazine fails. This fear is realistic. So hopper fans stick to your trusty old Paintball Gear.
If you’re a weekend paintball player and haven’t become a fan, the hopper is the easiest and most widely used marker. An added benefit to the hopper is the affordability factor. With tactical paintball growing in popularity soaring, magazine-fed markers aren’t going away.
