How To Build The Ultimate Sniper Paintball Guns

This first step is obviously one of the most important, as you will be building your ultimate sniper paintball guns around the marker. It is important to choose a marker that is versatile and is easily modified, and for this reason have chosen the Tippmann range (again go with the brand you like and know if need be).

Below are a few options for great markers to get you going.

The best length for a sniper paintball gun is between 14-16 inches, A Flatline Barrel System by Tippmann is proven to increase range. Avoid getting a barrel over 16 inches as it can greatly hurt your accuracy because it takes more force to push the paintball through the barrel. An 18 inch barrel would be the absolute maximum I would go.

Barrel kits are often the most versatile and accurate barrels available as you can match the size of your barrel to the size of the paintballs you are shooting. Make sure your barrel has the right threading.

Note that the A5 takes different threading than the 98 custom.

All paintballs are .68 caliber, but all brands still aren't all exactly the same size. If the paintballs you are shooting do not match your barrel, they will either not shoot straight or they will burst in the barrel.

You can tell if the paintball matches the barrel by removing your barrel and dropping a paintball in it. If it just rolls out, the paintball is too small; if it gets stuck when you blow into the barrel, it is too big. It needs not to fall out but go through easily whenever you blow into the barrel. The best way to get a good bore to paintball match is to get a barrel kit that includes different barrel pieces to match variously sized paintballs.

When it comes to buying paintballs, you usually get what you pay for. The cheaper the paint, the more dimples and inconsistencies they tend to have. This, of course, hurts your accuracy. Paintballs range in price from $25-$75 for 2000 balls. More expensive paintballs will typically be the best, but not always.

If your marker doesn't shoot an equal amount of air or CO2 each time, a good barrel hardly helps, you will not be able to shoot accurately. Consistency is improved by the use of a regulator. Regulators are either high or low pressure. If you get one make sure that the pressure rating of the regulator is compatible with the pressure needed to operate the marker.

With most woodsball marker, this will be high pressure. Regulators do what the name says; they regulate the gas to keep the gas getting to the valve at a constant pressure, so each shot should expel exactly the same amount of gas. In combination with a good bore to paint size match, regulators can make your marker shoot paint much more accurately.

Tippmanns are one of the most popular markers for woodsball and many people "snipe" with them, but from the factory Tippmanns have paint residue in the receiver where the bolts move that causes friction. If you polish the contact points between the front bolt, rear bolt, and the receivers, you can drastically decrease friction within the marker, making the Tippmann shoot much more consistently. And consistency is just as important as accuracy.

A sight is a good idea to get consistently more accurate shots, NOT A SCOPE. Scopes are considered largely impractical in paintball because paintballs don't fly straight, it takes time to focus somebody into a scope, and scopes won't help you by getting a magnified picture of somebody, as you can't hit them anyway. At their maximum range, paintballs go some 200ft, and the aim range is more like 75-100ft.

A sight could be a red dot sight or simple iron sights. and if your sniping, you'll likely be aiming your gun up in the air higher than your target, since the paintballs will drop off after a certain distance.

Getting a remote kit, which is a line that allows you to put your Co2 Tank or Air Tank on your back, will allow you to significantly lighten your marker. This allows you to crawl more quickly and bring your marker to bear faster, as well as making it easier to get through the woods.

Understand that camouflage is very important, since the ideal range for a regular player is about 50-60ft. A sniper can be anywhere from 100 feet to about 200 if you elevate your shot, and if you do it at a 40 degree arch, you'll get about 300 feet, but no guarantees.125 feet is where you are sure to hit them with one shot,so you need to be able to conceal yourself, and that means your marker and you needs to be camouflaged.

Get a ghillie suit if you can afford one, if not use local vegetation, or branches, bushes and twigs, and fasten them onto you. the more natural you look, the better.

There you have it! How to build the ultimate sniper paintball gun. I hope these tips have helped.
