Why Buy a Paintball Pistol?

There are many reasons why someone might choose to purchase a paintball pistol. Paintball is a fun pursuit that many people take seriously. While a pistol is a good starting item for this sport there are other reasons that even veterans of paintball find these pistols useful. Unlike the large semi-automatic rifles and similar weapons these are easy to wield, reload just as quickly, and can be used in much closer quarters. A paintball pistol on the painted battlefied is a close-medium range paint weapon compared to its rifle counter part. It has a better distance accuracy that the shotgun versions as well. Depending on the make and design it may be based on a real life weapon allowing for a cool ‘real’ look to it.
