what would be considered a paintball sniper marker?
i see people talking about snipers being those with pump guns but what does that mean? what kind of guns exactly and where could i check them out? also for anyone who knows..ive just got a pro-vantage thermal mask and was wondering if its good. i recieved it as a gift from a friend. just wanted to know if its a good mask. thanks.
Mask wise i’d move up to a jt flex period. As for the sniper gig any paintball gun barrel over 14 inches becomes a friction problem and reduces accuracy and distance. Sure it looks neat and "sniper" like it doesn’t do anything but hinder you. Depending on the gun a good 12/14" barrel would do just fine. Smart parts,dye,j&j,evil,ect. are just to name a few. Paintball revolves around the 3 "b’s", bolt,ball and barrel. An aftermarket bolt will increase effecientcy and accuracy. The type of paintballs you use also determines its accuracy, cheap/old paintball have irregular shells,ect and will not fly straight. Paint does have a shelf life and the barrel is responsible for how it leaves the marker and also its efficiency. Any paintball marker can be a sniper gun, its the player behind it that makes it that way. As for the looks side of it i’d look more toward tippmann and opsgear. Take care.

Just about any paintball gun with a barrel longer than 16in.
I have a Dragun TES and it stands for The Electronic Sniper, even though it is a electronic marker it came with a 14-16in barrel stock.
And about the mask, its pretty decent for a beginner, but move up soon if you are seriously into paintball to a profiler with thermal lens or soemthing.
