Paintball
How to choose paintball
Format
Choose between an experience and owned kit. Vouchers in Outdoor Recreation suit a one off group day, while parts in Sporting Goods suit regular players.
Build
Material matters. Full stainless steel lasts longer but weighs more than acrylic/stainless steel mixes.
Finish
Colour is limited to white and silver here, so check your marker's body before ordering.
Air Source
Air delivery is a split. A remote hose with regulator in Hunting & Shooting gives steady pressure, but a small canister is simpler to carry.

What's good
- Metal upgrade shells and drive shafts in stainless steel outlast stock plastic parts in Paintball & Airsoft.
- Adjustable air regulators under Hunting & Shooting let you set output pressure to suit your marker.
- Experience vouchers in Outdoor Recreation get a group of up to 10 playing without buying kit.
- Silver and white finishes match many existing markers without custom work.
Things to watch
- Stainless steel parts add weight to the marker, which strains the arms during long sessions.
- CO2 canisters and regulators under Hunting & Shooting need careful storage and seal checks, unlike a simple experience day.
- Acrylic/stainless steel hybrid parts show scuffs quicker than full metal versions.
- Group vouchers in Outdoor Recreation tie you to set locations, while owned gear works wherever you play.
Care & maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe stainless steel shells and silver fittings with a dry cloth after each game.
Seals
Inspect the O rings on remote hoses and regulators before you head out.
Storage
Keep CO2 canisters away from heat to protect the internal seals.
