The Correct Tactical Paintball Gear Will Hide You From Your Enemy

By Jaclyn Hurley


There is nothing to stop anybody, whatever their skill level is, enjoying paintball. However, if you want to be successful you have to include stealth within your tactics. To do this you have to ensure that it is not easy for your enemy to see, or hear, you as you move about the terrain.

It is important that when you are getting equipped for a game you make sure you select the optimal tactical paintball gear. The clothes that you wear, and the weapons that you carry, will play a large part in making sure that you do not get hit. You must remember, if your adversaries cannot see you, or hear you, how can they find you to shoot at.

When selecting protective clothing there are a few things you should consider prior to purchase. The terrain that the game is going to take place on should be noted, that way you will be able to choose camouflage gear that will work efficiently. It is possible to get camouflage material that can conceal you whatever the terrain is. Also consider the sound the material makes when you move, get something that does not rustle. The same goes for boot selection, get some with the rubber soles.

When you have kitted yourself out in suitable clothing, you will have fulfilled part of the three main elements you need. You have made yourself difficult to see, and your movement will be difficult to hear. However, you could ruin this all by choosing the wrong kind of weaponry.

The first consideration you must make is that will it be comfortable to carry for any length of time. Then, make sure it is of a size and color that can be easily hidden away. You should also think about the noise it makes when it fires, and this can only be found out by testing it. If it is very noisy, experience paintballers will be able to locate your position.

The ability to move about the area stealthily not only has the advantage of not being heard by your enemy. It allows you to hear what is going on about you, and spot any strange sounds. This makes it easier for you to locate the positions of your enemy by the sounds that they make as they move about.

It will not take you long to realise how advantageous it is to be able to get around the terrain very quietly. With a bit of practice you will be able to creep up on your opponents without them being aware that you are close. However, you should not get overconfident, as this could be your downfall if they have also invested in tactical paintball equipment.

To get the most out of paintball it is well worth spending the time making sure that you can get the best tactical gear you can afford. This is critical towards being successful, as it is going to help you move about without being noticed by your adversaries. The combination of clothing that is camouflaged and quiet, together with the correct type of weaponry will help conceal your point of attack.
