If you want a good paintball gun, check out these 10 good paintball guns from dealers who don't allow themselves to produce crappy quality markers. Some brands show no remorse when it comes to paintballs that don't shoot true and guns that lose air quickly, but not these bad boys.

  1. Tippmann 98 Custom If you need a paintball gun that just works—no frills, no stuff to go wrong—the Tippmann 98 Custom is your weapon of choice. Its stippled matte finish keeps it from glinting in the sunlight and giving away your position, while it shoots straight and true. At least on a calm day.
  2. Tippmann A-5 It doesn't matter where you go. The Tippman A-5 is always going to get high marks as one of the best good paintball guns. There's many varieties in several price ranges with plenty of add-ons to choose from, so select wisely.
  3. TPX Pistol If a regular paintball gun is too big for your purpose, the Tippmann TPX pistol is a meanie you can rely on. With a contoured grip and full-size stock, it will stay snug in your hand and be your best buddy for close-up paintball action.
  4. Tippmann X7 If you've ever wanted to feel a little like a mercenary, this machine pistol style paintball gun is just what you're looking for. It has a slightly crushed hopper to allow for sighting down your barrel. And it looks menacing to boot.
  5. BT TM-15 LE The BT TM-15 LE paintball gun is one of the best paintball guns for combat-style shooting. It's easy to clean, features a collapsible stock and has a camouflage finish. You look like a real soldier now.
  6. Empire Axe The Empire Axe paintball gun looks like something an alien might yank out of his holster after dismounting his space ship. But this gun costs nearly $500, so you know it's got to be a good paintball gun.
  7. Dangerous Power G3 This gun is designed especially for competition games. With its light weight and barely there frame, it let's you maneuver between cover without feeling like you're carrying a mortar.
  8. Inspire BFG AK Very few places let you shoot real AK-47s in their backyards. But hey, if you just want to look like revolutionist, the paintball variation is perfect.
  9. Spyder MR4 The Spyder MR4 is designed as a handheld machine pistol style gun, but it also comes with a collapsible stock for turning it into a rifle for longer shots. It's also supposed to be accurate up to 150 feet.
  10. Spyder Advancer .50 Caliber No, you won't look like Rambo with this .50 caliber gun. It doesn't come with a turret shield and limitless ammo, for one. But it is a good paintball gun for giving you close to unlimited ammo with its 350-round hopper capacity.
