How To Shoot A Paintball Gun Fast

Hi, guys. My name is Tommy Pemberton. I'm here with you at camp paintball in South London.

We are out in the woods today, and I want to talk to you about paintball. Obviously, when you pick up your paintball gun for the first time, you are going to want to shoot it quickly, I'm going to show you how. Okay, right now I've got Dye NT here and I'm going to try to show you guys how to shoot this quickly, Okay.

This is an electronic paintball gun, it has a micro switch with the trigger, so it is really really easy to shoot quick, these guns can easily go up to speeds of eighteen, nineteen, twenty balls a second, but right now, this gun is set to ten balls a second. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to hold the gun as securely as we can, again with the pressure points in the lower part of my hand and in my shoulder, okay, and all of the shooting is going to be done by two fingers. This is a double trigger on this gun, a lot of wombay paintball markers have this, it just allows you to basically shoot the gun quicker.

So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to alternate which finger I pull the trigger with okay, so I'm going to shoot the bottom finger first and then the top finger, and by doing that quickly, it shoots the gun real quick. Okay, so if your gun has a double trigger like this then make sure you utilize using both fingers in alternate like that. There is some people who've used three fingers before and try to do that, but it gives you quite an unstable grip.

So by having two fingers on the gun, you can either shoot it flat finger like that or you can pull your finger of the side of the finger like this and it gives you the same effect, okay. So by using the two fingers, it means you utilize the double trigger and can get the most out of these paintball guns. It's a mini standard rental gun.

It's mechanical. It's going to shoot very very differently from an electronic paintball gun and you have to shoot it differently to get the most out of it. When you hold it, you're still going to have the two pressure points that you've got, from your shoulder and the lower half of your hand, but obviously with a gun like this, it's got a single trigger okay, instead of the double trigger.

So with this, the single trigger is a mechanical trigger, it's a lot heavier on the finger, so when you're just about to pull the trigger, you can feel it, it feels like quite stiff and like its just going to click, so by finding that point just before the gun fires, is where you're going to find and get the most out of it. Okay, so I'm going to try and keep my finger pretty much on that point when the gun fires and when it re-cocks. Okay, if I keep my finger held down, because it's a semi-automatic gun, it is not going to re-cock, so I do that and hold it down, I need to release, you're actually going to hear it click okay, so when I release it, it clicks back.

So I'm going to try to keep it on that point and just use that one finger to shoot it quickly. As you can see, actually with this as well is a gravity fed loader, so by shaking it, it's going to basically keep the paint going in there, so most gravity fed loaders aren't great at keeping the paint going in there. So if it does suddenly shoot like that and no paint balls come out, just give your loader a little shake and it'll keep it going.

As you can see, I mean it's just a cheap rental gun and you can probably get five, six balls a second out of this so it still shoots pretty good. So these are the two main types of paintball guns and that's how to shoot them both quickly. .
