Paintball pistols - your reliable backup in every game situation

For a long time, the image of paintball was dominated by classic markers with a long barrel and thick hopper. At the latest since the woodland and scenario gameplay in all its variants has enjoyed increasing popularity, paintball guns have almost become de rigueur on the nation's playing fields.

The paintball pistols fulfill several purposes at the same time, from the inexpensive entry-level marker for beginners to the practical backup for hot Milsim battles. Browse through our range now and order your paintball pistol from brand manufacturers such as Umarex, First Strike and Tippmann today.

What is a paintball gun?

Various manufacturers prove that high-performance paintball markers do not have to be big with their paintball pistols of different calibers. In most cases, these are replicas of sharp weapons, which are usually operated with 12g CO2 cartridges.

The replicas often come from the home defense sector, where they can be loaded with rubber bullets and pepperballs, among other things. It didn't take long, however, for handguns to become popular with recreational warriors. Loaded with powerballs or classic paintballs, the handy markers are an asset on the field.

When and for whom is a paintball gun suitable?

Basically, there are two application scenarios in which the short-barreled markers can fully exploit their strengths. First and foremost is the woodland and scenario gameplay. As usual for Milsim, realism is at the top here. And what would a real weekend warrior with an assault rifle be without a ready-to-use backup marker in the form of a handgun? If all the magazines of the main marker are empty, reaching for the sidearm works faster than reloading the ammunition.

Especially under acute paintball fire. But a paintball gun is also a good start for bargain hunters who want to get a taste of the sport. Models such as the Walther/Umarex HDR 50 revolver or the Walther Umarex T4R HDP 50 pistol are available for a good 100 euros and are therefore a cheap entry into the paintball world.

Different models - different properties

Meanwhile, the range of short-barreled markers in paintball leaves little to be desired. The main differences are the design and caliber. In addition to classic pistols, the market also sells classy revolvers such as the Roscoe model from First Strike. Compared to a classic pistol replica, the models have a drum magazine with mostly 5 to 6 rounds.

On the other hand, there are realistic replicas of pistols such as the Walther/Umarex Glock 17 Gen5 T4E Pistol First Edition model, which is based on the Glock 17 that gives it its name down to the last detail and is equipped with a classic magazine. In addition to replicas such as the Walther/Umarex PPQ M2 T4E pistol, we also carry particularly compact models such as the First Strike FSC Compact Paintball Pistol.

Useful accessory for your paintball gun

Caution: When buying a paintball gun, you should always pay attention to the caliber. Depending on whether it is a .68, .50 or .43 caliber marker, you will need different paintballs or powderballs. In addition to 12g or 8g CO2 capsules, the corresponding replacement magazines are also indispensable for operation on the field.

The same applies here as for the large Magfed markers: a lot helps a lot.And so that the additional magazines also have enough space on your belt or plate carrier, you will find suitable mag pouches for pistol magazines in our shop. Alternatively, you can use a set such as the Tippmann TiPX Deluxe Kit for an all-round carefree package consisting of a paintball pistol, Leg holster and a whopping three magazines.
