Paint Ball T-Stocks and Other Important Paint Ball Accessories

By Jerry Benson


Perhaps the most important asset in paintball is the marker. Many players emphasis this importance by customizing their paintball gun to the best it can be. This is understandable as having a good marker on the field that can keep up with you is definitely a good thing.

For many guns, such as the Tippmann, Spyder, or Ion, there are many, many upgrades available. Its almost incredible at how many upgrades there are available for these guns, and sometimes in fact, it can be dizzying.

To make your search for excellent gun accessories easier, you should first be aware that some accessories should be avoided in the primary stages of upgrading your marker. Many players make the mistake of spending money on only upgrades that boost your markers rate of fire. While shooting 1000 balls per second may seem important, it really isn't. More important is your guns accuracy. If you can't hit what your aiming at, then you can't eliminate your opponents. Sure, you could leave the amount of balls your fast paintball gun can spit into the air, but when it takes 100 balls to hit 1 target... then you probably should focus more on your accuracy.

Few people would argue that accuracy isn't important - well, at least the smart ones wouldn't. Too many moments arise in paintball where accuracy is needed. Whether its that solo foot that's poking out behind a bunker, or that elbow that keeps popping out, accuracy can definitely play an important role in those situations.

Which upgrades can boost your markers accuracy? There happen to be 2 that can do this. The first happens to be the barrel (go figure!). When you want to shoot accurately, it is important to have a barrel that fit's the paint you are shooting. If you have one that has an inner diameter that fit's the outside diameter of the paint you shoot, without too much restriction, then optimal accuracy will be achieved.

The other accuracy improving accessory is the stock - the key note of this article. A stock can provide extra stabilization and control over your marker, giving you more steady and accurate shots.
