Empire Events Mask Review

The Vents lens system used in the Empire Events is very advanced for the masks currently available. This lens system offers a safe, quick release system. It can be replaced in virtually seconds, yet it is durably held into the paintball mask. This allows the paintballer to quickly change lenses appropriate to various playing conditions.
Comfort
The Empire Events mask come with removable ear pieces for extended comfort. This paintball mask is also equipped with a strap with beading to ensure the paintball mask stays firmly on the individual�s head. This allows the user to play confidently, without worrying about whether if the paintball mask is going to be loose. Some reviews claim this paintball mask to be better not as comfortable on the bigger paintball players, say about a solid 6'3" with a big head.
Safety
This paintball mask also rates pretty high when speaking of safety. The Empire Events has great foam on the inside. The outside of the paintball mask is fairly solid around the mouth and nose area protecting from any direct hit while the rubber along the jaw line is softer which is better for deflections. It also comes with soft foam ears to help protect the sides of your head.
Vision
This paintball mask comes with a large thermal smoke lens which allows for great peripheral vision. Every true paintballer knows this is important with any paintball mask. Knowing where your teammates and where your enemy is at all times is crucial! The smoke lens in the Empire Events helps on the sunny days to prevent glare also.
Communication
The Empire Events paintball mask has a specialty venting system designed to work according to the way one breathes. These specially designed vents are meant to project your voice through the paintball mask. The way this paintball mask is designed allows the mouth vents to be placed correctly so that when the user breathes or shouts through the vents, the vents are used more effectively in front of the mouth. This prevents the user shouting into plastic or rubber, as with other comparable goggle systems. This paintball mask mask also shields your voice from your own ears.
Weight: This paintball mask weighs 10.8oz
Price: This paintball mask starts at $89.95

V-Force Pro VantageComfort! Is this paintball mask comfortable? You want a paintball mask that fits you well because you must keep the paintball mask on throughout the whole match. Most paintballers play with great intensity and their paintball mask must fit their face well and stay in place.
V-Force GrillzWeight! How much does the paintball mask weigh? When you get to the point where the paintball mask is apart of your face and you forget it is even on your head, you know you have found the right paintball mask!

Paintball Guns for Beginners
First: How often do I plan on playing?
If you plan on only playing paintball a few times a year then you will not need the high end paintball gun. Then if you decide you are going to play more you can upgrade to a higher performing paintball gun.
Second: Who will you be playing with and what paintball guns are they using?
If you are playing with friends and co-workers ask them what kind of paintball guns they use and what they like and dislike about them. This will give you a good idea of what to look for and what to avoid when buying a paintball gun. Also, you do not want to be on the field or in the woods playing against paintball guns that shoot 35+ bps and you are shooting 15-20 bps.


Third: What are you most comfortable with?
The only way to figure this out is to play, play, and then play some more! The more you play paintball the more you will be able to tell what your needs are. If you are the sniper type, there are paintball guns with scopes on them. If you are the type that is in the middle of the action all the time, there are paintball guns that are lighter and shoot more paintballs per second.
The most popular paintball guns for beginners are the Tippmann or Kingman series. They have a wide price range and are upgradable.
Just remember to enjoy the game and be safe!
Happy Paintballing!!!

Tippmann Review


The great thing about this gun is that it offers all the same qualities of the basic Tippmann 98, however this gun can be easily upgraded. So first lets go over some features of the Tippmann 98. The Tippmann 98 is the most preferred rental gun at paintball fields. This would most likely be due to its reliability and comfort. Also, paintballs are rarely broken in the marker, which allows for more convenience in the field. It is also known for the light, short trigger. With the flexibility of getting the Tippmann 98 Custom, the owner is capable of upgrading with items such as the double trigger, the flatline barrel system, and the low pressure kit. With the reliability of the Tippmann 98 and the customization options of the Tippmann 98 Custom, this gun truly is one of the best guns you can find for the price you pay.

The Tippmann A-5 family is one of the latest in the Tippmann paintball line. This is said to be one of the best semi-automatic guns available. It is the only gun available with a cycle feed system. This system basically allows the hopper to fast feed the paintballs without clogging the gun- this is up to 800 rounds per minute. This is a reliable and well built paintball gun. Another bonus to this gun is that you are able to get the cyclone feed system as well as other potential upgrades. This gun is just basically a step up from the Tippmann 98 custom. The great thing about these guns is that they are very comparable to all of the top-quality paintball guns out there, for only a fraction of the price.

The newest line in the Tippmann family is the Tippmann X7. The amazing aspect of this gun is the fire capability of this spool valved X7 is one of the highest in its class, and maintenance is still quick and easy. Tippmann has, once again, raised the bar. The Tippmann X7 can be fired manually or electronically, can be used with HPA or CO2, and can keep up with the tournament markers some are bringing into the woods. It's also said that this gun uses its air more efficiently and has the potential to outlast most guns while being even more accurate than previous models.
