5. Triggers & Frames

Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For Beginners 

Triggers come in:

  • Manual - Basic firing
  • Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For Beginners
  • E-Triggers - Electronically controlled, giving you semi-auto, burst or full auto firing modes, great for support role players who just want to hold down the trigger and lay waste to their opponents!
  • Double Triggers - Less effort involved and makes it easy to walking the trigger (walking the trigger refers to when your two fingers are simultaneously pulling the two grooves on a double trigger).

Triggers depend on your style, and how good the stock one is. Sometimes triggers are hard to fire (they're kind of tough or stiff to pull back on). Getting a new trigger that fires the way you want is such a great feeling. This is one of those 'test your current gun' first to see if it fits your needs. If not, maybe a new trigger is in order.

(Note: If you're going to be playing tournament speedball then you will want to upgrade to a double trigger).

Here's a video explaining how to walk a trigger, note the double trigger in the video


6. Sights - Rear & Front - Scopes & Lasers

You can get many different types of sights for your markers. Sights are very popular especially for scenario and woodsball paintball. Actually they're so popular that the Smart Parts SP-1 can mount more sights and rails then my age, well not that much, but you get the picture.

Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For BeginnersYou can add regular front or rear sights to help you with your accuracy. Why not get a scope? There are regular scopes, night vision scopes and also scopes that have green or red dot lasers to guide your shot and make it more accurate.

You can acquire scopes & sights that fit on to any paintball gun, or one's that will fit your specific marker.

7. Elbow/Feed Neck

***Recommended Upgrade***

Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For Beginners 

This is the part that attaches your hopper to your gun - holding the two together. This is usually a very popular upgrade piece, because stock feed necks can sometimes be flimsy and brittle and end up breaking within 1-2 days of play.

That's not to say all feed necks need to be replaced, there are clamping feed necks available and I suggest going for one of those above a regular feed neck. The reason being, clamping feed necks actually "clamp" to the marker, therefore your hopper is less likely to detach after you dive behind an obstacle. Some feed necks are universal, some may require a specific paintball marker.


8. Regulators

Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For Beginners

Paintball Gun Upgrades & Parts For BeginnersRegulators regulate air flow from your air tank to your paintball marker. Without a regulator, the air flows into your marker at an unsteady fashion giving you inconsistent shots.

The regulator will control how the air flows in from your air tank, making it smoother and more steady - giving you higher accuracy, as well as consistent distance on your shots.

Some regulators can just snap on and work immediately, while others are little more complex and can be adjusted and fine-tuned.


9. Remote Lines

If having your air tank attached to your marker is annoying, you can put the tank in your backpack or attached to yourself, and hook up one of these 'remote lines' to it. It will take your air and feed it into your gun.

Remote lines are great if you're going to be playing extended periods of scenario paintball because it takes a lot of the weight off your marker and puts it on your back.

Another benefit of having a remote line is a reduced profile of your marker, making it easier to go into prone (laying down).


10. Electronic Boards & Chips

If you have a more advanced gun, chances are it has a computerized electronic board in it. Upgrading your board can increase how fast the balls shoot (some going over 25 balls per second) to increased accuracy.

Boards & Chips also give you different firing modes, and different tournament modes already preset in the chip.

Not only do paintball markers have chips, but electronic hoppers also have boards & chips in them to increase efficiency.
