What are the need of O-Rings for paintball, what do they do?

they make the seals for connection points such as where the tank and the gun connect.  they prevent leaks so you dont have to keep refilling you tank every other game or so

Glove, Softball for at home, cleats, batting golves, sliding pads.\nBats are optional because the team usually has a few different types to chose from.

I gotta go with the first one.  I forget the name, but it was designed to mark cows.  It started the sport...that's pretty important!!\n\nI gotta give credit to the orignal Spyder.  While crude by today's standards, it definately brought paintball to the masses.  It was cheap and reliable.  Without the Spyder, I'm not sure paintball would be half the sport it is today.\n\nAs far as the most advanced... well, I'm poor and never had the priviledge of shooting high-end markers.  So, no comment :)

There should be lots out there, just do some searching. Also, check out some paintball magazines, there are lots of ads in them for paintball markers and equipment.\n\nAlso check out the link below.

If you are using round ball then the old method was to place a ball in your hand and use just enough powder to cover the ball. But it's not really a serious problem as you can't really overload a modern black powder weapon. The only problem you would have is seating the ball enough on a revolver for the cylinder to index. I've overloaded one enough that I had to trim the ball.\n To make it easier for you just buy a powder flask which will premeasure the load for you.\n Make sure you seal all of the cylinders after you have it loaded to prevent a cook off of all the cylinders at one time, it gets really interesting when that happens.\n If you've never used black powder before it's a lot of fun, a little messy but well worth it.

Well first, if your playing at a Paintball field owned and operated by someone your more likely than not going to have to buy the paintballs from them as many do not let you bring paint from home. Call ahead and find out what the rules are regarding bringing your own paint before you buy any and waste your money.\n\nPaintballs are sold by the case (2000/per I think, been a while) One case should be enough to get you through the day without having to worry about supply, you'll probably have plenty left over but thats better than having to conserve or worst case, run out. When buying paint don't be cheap, the cheap stuff will clog, burst in your gun, or not shoot straight and ruin your day, buy the upper range if your budget will allow it (paintball isn't a cheap sport). I'd do a search in your area for local shops or distributors that you can call and have them recommend a brand and type for you for best results. Have fun and good luck.

try looking for a halo bsince they are really good and dont chop paintballs\nif not go with a gravity feed.  the middle electeronic ones will chop up your ammo

if you're talking about a gun, it's almost definately a smart parts ion. they are low pressure guns which means no (or small) kick, and you can keep your tank when switching to expensive guns. paint, is really accessible for anybody, but the one's i like are premiums. as for feeders, i would save up and get a halo because they are extremely fast and have high capacity.

The skills necessary in playing this sport go far beyond the ability to sling paint at your opponents...I would like to have you think about your overall game by answering this question\n\nThrowing paint is important but not necessarily the most important thing in winning at paintball.  Below are some training videos for shooting drills, movement, hand signals, etc...\n\nFor a faster trigger finger...I would take my marker with an empty cylinder and the bolt uncocked (dry firing a cocked marker is a bad practice...it causes wear on the sear and can damage the striker bolt / needle valve mechanism)...k, cylinder is empty...barrel sock or plug is in place...hopper is on without paint in it...practice how fast you can get your fingers to work the 90 to 75 degree point in your trigger...typically this will be your firing point...\n\nThe reason that you are using an empty cylinder, hopper, etc...is so that you can mimic the weight of your marker...nothing worse than being out there with fast fingers and not having the arm strength to keep you in the game...\n\nThe reason of empty cylinder, empty hopper, and a Barrel Blocking Device is simple marker safety that should always be exercised...Good Luck and Happy Shooting

you can get it changed at the paintball field, they have the little machine, and you put your barrel on the top and fire a shot and it'll will time it. then all you need to do is adjust it to your preference. but i usually have it all the way turned. the balls goes faster and hurts more. lol.

I do play paintball.  i have been playing for a few years now.  the closts field to me is Hit and Run Paintball in Mansfield, TX  although i live in arlington.  i have a tippmann 98 custom.  i chose it because it was the best gun on the market and personally i still think it is.  because you can literally put it through hell and it still works like new.  also it has a great range of 150 feet of accuracy  without losing much velocity.  the third and final reason i cohes it is because you can customize it enough to compete with those 1000 dollar cockers and still beat them without spending 500 dollars (after you get all the upgrades you want on it you still wont be paying 1000 including the kit price).  i reccommend it to anyone who is new becasue of those three reasons

the cowboy load is basically used for cowboy type shooting events.  they use ammo that replicates what was available back in the 1800's.  they are inferior to modern ammo when used for protection, and they cost more than plain jane mass produced ball ammo you'd want to use for plinking.\n\nthink of vintage model T car races.  that's sort of what a cowboy load is.

they give you glasses to wear for boot camp so you dont have to worry about having a lense pop out or get dirt in it.  Trust me you will spend a good amount of time in dirt, or sand.  You dont want you glasses or contacts going through that.  Use their glasses, they are free and you dont need to worry about them breaking.  Once a year the corps will give you a free pair of "civilian" glasses, they are actually a nice pair of glasses, but you dont want them in the field.

First of all the other guy who answered is a punk.  The purpose of an oil can catcher (tank) is where you can add another quart of oil so that if you do burn oil you always have extra and will feed when needed.

Well it depends.  If you're like Buck Shelford, ex-All Black captain, then you don't need leather balls.  You just need to be able to handle having your scrotum ripped open, having a testicle hanging out and having four teeth knocked out in one ruck, then have it all stitched up and go back out and play again.\nGO THE ALL BLACKS!

i think CHAOS woul be best since paintball is a game of chaos. everyone is running around and stuff.. so ur team will create chaos because u will be so good (i assume)
