It is fun now and again to go out and enjoy a day of shooting paintballs at a few of your friends. It is also a fun way of releasing some anger and frustration, especially if the person that is the cause of your anger is joining you and is on the opposite team. It is much fun, before you know it your day is over and all you will be talking about on your way home is how fun Paintball was.
The paintball gun was first introduced by the farming industries to mark cattle and trees. These guns were similar to many of the paintball guns used today, which used CO2 powered cartridges, which – back then – had average accuracy and poor firing range. James Hale designed the famous model, Nel-Spot 007, in 1970.
The paintball guns used by the forestry industries had to be modified. The velocity on these guns had to be reduced to prevent human injury. The Splatmaster was patented in ’85 specifically for the sport of paintball shooting, was the first gun manufactured for the sport. This model was a pistol made entirely of plastic and has to be manually cocked before a shot. After the birth of the Splatmaster, paintball guns with features like pump-action and detachable barrels were designed.
The Semi-automatic Paintball Gun that was available on the shelves was the SMG60. It was the first semi-automatic gun designed by Dennis Tippmann. Replicas of military weapons were used for making the SMG60, and the ultimate success was the 68-special. This featured the first device for feeding the gun paintballs.
A specific semi-automatic paintball gun is designed to give top performance with a 20 ball per second firing rate and includes features like: fast strip bolt, vice grip and feed neck, top-speed air ram, a foregrip regulator and ported barrel.
Another modal is the .68 semi-automatic paintball guns. This is said to be the perfect starter gun for the beginner and a 12g CO2 capsule powers the weapon. In addition, it has a two-finger trigger for when you are boxed in. With its 150-paintball size, you can get between 35 and 40 shots per 12g capsule.
The .40 caliber semi automatic paintball gun comes with promises. It fires 100 paintballs on a single 12g cartridge of CO2, which is not included in the pack. This paintball gun is good quality and is a powerful semi automatic that is well known among serious paintball shooters all over.
Paintball shooting is a lot of fun. You can have your own little wars with friends or even register into a paintball club. Semi-automatic Paintball Guns, whichever caliber you choose can prove to be a world of fun!
