What To Pack In Your Paintball Gear Bag

By: Matt Chang

Okay, so you are hooked on paintball. Now you are starting to get everything together so you can be a part of the paintball teams and get into your war games. Do you know everything you need to get your game on? Do not be caught unprepared. Your paintball gear bag should hold all of the gear and accessories that you need to play like a pro.

The paintball gun is, of course, the most basic and essential thing that you will put in your paintball gear bag. After all, you cannot play paintball if you do not have anything to shoot! While you have your paintball gun in your bag, make sure that you have is properly secured as not to damage it.

There are also some accessories that you will want to have for your paintball gun itself.

One thing that should be included in your paintball gear bag is a squeegee for cleaning the barrel of your paintball gun. This will help keep your shots accurate. The squeegee will help keep moisture from paintballs or even the comressed air cartridges from causing drag on the paintball when it is discharged.

You will also want to carry good quality paintballs that are aerodynamic, and correspond to the bore size of the barrel of your paintball gun. Pack your paintballs in containers to prevent them from getting smashed and broken. Also, keep them dry.

A good sight or scope can also come in handy. If you have a paintball sniper gun, then this is a must. Just like with your gun, pack it correctly and securely because this is a precision piece of equipment.

You will also need a good paintball mask in your paintball gear bag. The best paintball mask is one that will not fog, has large lenses, and is comfortable. If your paintball mask is not comfortable you will find yourself taking it off often, which leaves you unprotected and in danger of being hurt.

If your paintball mask fogs or has lenses that block your peripheral vision you will have a hard time taking accurate shots. There are products that are out there that will allow you to spray onto your lens and help keep it from fogging up.

Another thing that you will need to carry is some camouflage clothing. This is not a necessity unless you are playing as a sniper on the field. However, the camouflage clothing can really help you stay in the game a lot longer than if you are wearing bright "come and get me" colors.

Make sure that you have the proper padding and protective clothing in addition to the camoflauge. The extra padding will do a great job in helping to keep the sting out of the paintballs if they hit you.

A radio is a handy accessory that you can also keep with you. Teams can work more effectively together when in constant communication without the need to shout so that the enemy can hear you. You should also keep plenty of water and snacks in your paintball gear bag. Some games last several hours, and you do not want to become weakened or overheated because you did not think or plan ahead. By keeping things handy in one place, your games will be a lot more fun.
