Paintball Guns – A Paintball Gun Blog

Paintball has a number of great paintball magazines for beginner paintball players and advanced players alike. These are magazines that you buy, or pay for a subscription, not free magazines that are mostly advertisements for paintball products.

Oldschool Paintball Magazines

While there is a lot of great paintball information and news online, sometimes you just want to hold a paper magazine, carry it with you to a paintball tournament, or cut out a photo and hang it on your wall. That’s when it’s nice to have a subscription to a paintball magazine that comes in your traditional mailbox, even though it may be a bit oldschool.

Paintball Magazine Types:

Speedball. Some paintball magazines focus more on speedball. They cover xball competitions, PSP events, and professional speedball players, speedball tournaments, and speedball products.

Recreational Paintball. Other paintball magazines focus on recreational paintball. They include scenario paintball, woodsball, Ghillie Suits, camouflage gear, replica paintball guns that look realistic, and other scenario paintball products.

Mix. Some paintball magazines cover both speedball and recreational paintball. While you may be tempted to order a magazine that is primarily focused on your area of paintball—speedball or recreational—the magazines that cover the entire paintball industry should not be immediately dismissed. Because the paintball industry is small, many paintball magazines have opted to cover the entire industry, which also means they don’t have to decide which category to put information into. That is, with magazines that cover all paintball, you can decide which articles and products you want to look at rather than some editor deciding.
