The countdown to 2012 has started. There are some great new paintball guns coming in 2012.
Although paintball marker manufacturers will be improving most aspects of paintball guns (making them lighter, faster, smoother, easier to clean, more resistant to dirt, etc.), we haven’t seen any real break-thru innovations with the possible exception of the 2012 Bob Long G6R (see below). But there is still time. [click to continue…]

This is a great stealth move! Watch the second half of this video: A paintball player (the guy with the camera) sneaks up behind the other team and takes out a number of the enemy players without them ever seeing him! He took them out like a silent ghost.
The enemy was “barrel tagged,” which means they were tagged with the paintball gun rather than shot, eliminating each enemy player from the game.

How did this group of paintball players do this? They created art by shooting their paintball guns simultaneously at a large white space.
They used a paintball gun like an artist’s paintbrush. Is this some kind of trick, or are these paintball players extremely talented? Also amazing is how they coordinated their efforts with each other to build the picture all at once.

The Dye DM10 paintball gun is available October 30, 2009, and it’s a terrific paintball gun! You can pre-order it now.
The DM10 is the latest in the Dye DM paintball gun series. With the DM10, Dye improved on the DM9 and DM8 in a number of ways (read more under Dye DM10 Highlights below).
The DM10 features new colors, a fuse bolt operating system, improved comfort, and a new outward design.
In this video, Billy Wing of the LA Ironmen explains the new features in the Dye DM10. He starts talking about the DM10 about a minute and a half into the video.
The DM9 and DM8 are great paintball guns, and the DM10 is even better. For years, the Dye DM series was Dye’s most advanced paintball gun. With Dye’s release of the Dye NT, the DM series has been surpassed. Still, the Dye DM10 is a solid gun.
Ollie Lang of the LA Ironmen said that the DM10 [click to continue…]

If you are considering buying a new Invert Mini paintball gun, the marker created by Empire, here is a useful video review.
The Invert Mini is the first paintball gun created by Empire. In short, the Empire Invert Mini is a good marker, but it is a bit quirky, probably because it takes a few years for a paintball manufacturer like Empire to perfect the model.
I love the reviews by Mike from Tech PB. He explains in simple terms what he likes and dislikes about the Invert Mini, how the Invert Mini compares to other paintball guns, and tips for Invert Mini owners.
Here is a video showing the Invert Mini in use.
The Invert Mini has a number of nice features:

This paintball minigun reminds me of the Turret machine gun in Halo 3. Pretty sweet, but you’re a slow target while you stand there shooting.

This video is sick. The guys in the video use over 1100 paintball guns to instantly paint the Mono Lisa. Imagine how much pressure is in those two air tanks—enough pressure to support 1100 paintball guns for one shot each.
Be sure to watch the end of the video where it shows the guns firing in slow motion as paintballs hit the canvas.

Paintball on Hit TV Shows
by Paintball Guns on January 7, 2011
The sport of paintball often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. For example, ESPN will feature nearly every sport in the world, but paintball is lucky to get a spot once or twice a year. This hurts the sport because, if we want paintball to grow, more people need to be exposed to it, and television is a great way to raise awareness.
That’s why I get pumped up when I see paintball featured on mainstream television, like these two hit TV shows.
Entourage: Ari Gold Shoots Up the Office
Community: Senor Chang Attacks Jeff and Britta in a Paintball Office Battle
If you have seen paintball featured on any TV shows, leave a comment here telling everyone when and where.
