If you’re purchasing a T68 Gen6 paintball marker, you’ll notice there are many options to choose from in drop down boxes below the product. If you are unsure of what to choose or have questions, this buying guide may have the answers you need to help with your decisions.
Buttstock Options: Most T68 Gen6 paintball guns come with the Flexi-air system. This allows you to hold your air tank inside the buttstock of the gun. It also allows for several options of different custom buttstock/tank configurations. Because of the customization factor, T68 Gen6 flexi-air buttstocks carry an extra charge (the price is not already included with the price of the gun); you will see the amounts next to the specific options.
If you choose the “no stock-no air tank” option, please realize this means you are ordering your T68 marker with no buttstock. This option does not mean you will get a standard/stock buttstock; it means your gun will have no stock at all. This option is made available for someone who may already own a stock and is not recommended otherwise.
Another air/buttstock option for the T68 Gen6 is the remote line adaptor. Choosing this option would mean your gun would come with a buttstock that has a plug on its underside to connect a remote line to. This will allow you to attach your marker to an air tank you can carry “remotely” on your back or belt. This option does not, however, include a remote line.
All other options available include the buttstock and specific size air tank that fits inside. The 5oz. + pad option is the only one that does not come with the buttstock, it comes with a small end pad that fits on the back of the tank. The 5oz, 60g CO2 tanks and 3000psi hpa tank comes with the respective tank that fits inside its buttstock. The 45g and 88g disposable CO2 cartridge options include these size tanks, adaptors, and buttstock that fit it. The 12g disposable CO2 cartridge adaptor option comes with the stock and adaptor (not the 12g cartridge itself). This configuration allows you to use a 12g disposable cartridge, 45g disposable and/or 60g refillable cylinders as well.
You may want to decide which tank/buttstock option to get depending on how many shots are offered…. The 12g disposable CO2 cartridge yields roughly 25 shots; while the 88g disposable offers ~80+. The 45g disposable and 60g refillable tanks get less than this, respectively. The best option is the 5oz. CO2 or 3000 psi hpa tank; these are basically the same size (physically), however the 5oz. yields 200+ shots while the 3000psi hpa tank shoots ~100+.
Barrel Options: The T68 Gen6 marker comes stock with a 14 inch barrel. Options include upgrading to a rifled barrel or one that’s longer. Rifled barrels contain grooves inside that ‘glide and guide’ the paintball down its bore. The result is a straighter, spin-free projection and much more accurate shot. You can also add distance to your shot by adding a longer barrel. Available options allow up to an 18″ tactical rifled barrel.
Magazine/Hopper Fed Option: this option is a choice of how you want your paintballs to be fed into your marker when firing. Choose between magazine fed, hopper fed or both with the Splitfire dual feed adaptor. The choice you make will be how your gun is put together. This means if you choose “magazine-fed,” you will not be able to use a hopper (or vice-versa). The smartest choice is the Splitfire dual feed adaptor. This is a dial/switch built into the marker that offers feeds for both hopper and magazine. The Splitfire allows you the best of both worlds and the ability to switch back and forth. If you want the realism of a magazine fed paintball marker, you’re still better off ordering the Splitfire dual feed adaptor option; this way your gun will work with the magazine but you can always add a hopper later if you want.
O-Rings and Tool Kit: These options supply your T68 Gen6 marker with all the necessary tools you may need to disassemble your marker for cleaning or for adding parts if you want to upgrade. The o-ring kit contains all of the o-rings that fit the T68 Gen6. A bad o-ring is a common, easy to fix problem with all paintball guns eventually; it’s always smart to have a few extra.
E-Trigger: The T68 Gen6 tactical paintball gun comes with a standard trigger that offers semi-automatic firing. Choose the electronic trigger option and your T68 will come with a trigger (already installed) that has three different firing modes…semi-auto, three round burst and fully automatic. Since T68 markers are some of the most realistic paintball machine guns, it only makes them that much more realistic (and lethal) to have it fully automatic.
Extra Magazines: The T68 Gen6 comes with one magazine however, you must choose your gun to be magazine-fed or it will be non-functional. If you choose either magazine-fed or the Splitfire dual feed system, your gun will be fed by a magazine that holds 18 rounds. Buying more magazines for your T68 is highly recommended as 18 rounds goes extremely fast when people are firing back at you.
Remote Line: Choosing this option will add a remote line to your order. To use the remote line however, you will have to have chosen the remote line adaptor flexi-air buttstock option. You can also add a remote line with the addition of a product called a 90 degree one way adaptor. This is a small adaptor that fits between the gun and tank/buttstock with a plug that attaches to a remote line. The adaptor acts to switch air over to the remote line as soon as the main tank runs out. If you choose the buttstock + 5oz. or 3000psi tank option, this part is a must as these tanks are small and run out of air fairly quickly. With the 90 degree one way adaptor and remote line attached to a tank on your back, your gun’s power source will automatically switch once the smaller runs out.
Extra Warranty: This option will add an extra three years warranty to your T68 Gen6. Adding a warranty to your marker is never a bad idea. However keep in mind all the T68 Gen6 paintball markers come with a five year warranty. Also realize the T68 guns are well put together, sturdy and breakdowns are fairly rare. It’s always better to be safe than sorry though; your T68 will last for many years if you take care of it properly. Extra warranty coverage to last as long as your marker does is smart.
Carrying Case: On most T68 Gen6 markers, there are also options of a carrying case/marker bag. Whether you buy one with your gun or get one later, this is a must have. The T68 tactical paintball guns are so realistic, you must keep them covered up while transporting; the police will stop you (and probably confiscate your marker) if they see you carrying it outside of the paintball field. The marker bag is a high quality carrying case that will fit your T68 rifle as well as much other necessary gear. There are also pockets that can hold multiple paintball pods, lines, and gun parts. Other options for the T68 Gen6 are a tactical sling or even a scope. The sling also adds a more realistic tactical look and works excellent to help carry your marker on your body/across your back.

Sniper paintball guns are used by recreational players who want a gun that shoots accurately over a long distance. Recreational games are played over large areas including woods and fields.; they have several variants.
Scenario paintball is played in an area which replicates a chosen landscape.
Tactical paintball has a variety of rules and rewards strategic play.
Woodsball paintball is played in a wooded area.
So, what are the features of a sniper marker?
Recreational guns, including sniper paintball guns, have similar internal operations. They are generally dark in colour or camouflaged. They are often designed to look like real guns. They are bigger and heavier than guns used in speedball games.
Sniper paintball guns often have longer barrels than other gun types. To increase the firing distance, some barrels have a texture that causes the paintball to spin. Most barrels have rails on top of them. This allows you to fit a scope so you can have your target in a more precise line of sight. This is ideal for a sniper player covering a long distance.You can also fit a red dot laser light to the rail to add to the realism of the scenario.
Sniper paintball guns should have an adjustable stock allowing them to fit against your shoulder comfortably. The adjustable stock will enable it to be moved into the right position for you. The sniper gun is big and heavy, so it also needs a comfortable grip. Many guns have a pistol grip rather than fit your hand like a rifle. You need to choose a grip that feels right for you.
Sniper paintball guns don’t need big hoppers/loaders or a large air supply. Some players enjoy the classic pump action markers that need to be re-cocked after each shot. Other sniper markers are either fully or semi-automatic enabling you to take repeated multiple shots at your target. Some guns have a ramping feature that switches the gun from one setting to another depending on how you pull the trigger.
Some cartridges can hold 100 paintballs, others may only hold 20 rounds. You need to reload less often with a cartridge that holds a lot of ammo making your reaction time quicker.
One of the most exciting positions in the paintball game is that of the sniper. Game strategies vary with each opponent and their positioning. Good sniper paintball guns make a great difference to a player’s success. Paintball supplies on the market allow you to upgrade any standard paintball marker into a sniper rifle, which is a good way of keeping the costs down.

For some time now custom paintball jerseys have been the preferred jersey worn by amateur, semi-pro and professional paintball players alike. Custom jerseys not only allow for a team to be immediately recognized on or off the field and in photographs on popular paintball website but custom jerseys also allow teams to place logos of any participating sponsors on their jerseys. Most if not all custom paintball jerseys are manufactured using a process of sublimation in which the design for the custom jersey is done using Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator and then printed to sublimation paper. The design is then transferred to the fabric (essentially raw white material) and then stitched together to complete the custom jersey.
When custom paintball jerseys first became available the most featured part of the jersey was the design, the artwork, which made each jersey a one-of-a-kind. The entire selling point of the jersey wasn’t the quality of the jersey, what kind of materials were used to make the jersey or the method in which the jersey was constructed. Artwork and design sold paintball jerseys. The standard custom paintball jersey has been made by a lot of different companies over the years and while graphic artists may have gotten better in how they design jerseys one thing hasn’t changed. The standard custom paintball jersey manufactured by most companies is plain, poorly constructed with inferior fabrics and is not meant to last beyond a few games.
Recognizing a problem, Xternal Sports sought to revolutionize the way custom paintball jerseys were designed, engineered and constructed. With the introduction of the Pro-Style Paintball Jersey, players of all abilities were able to finally purchase a custom paintball jersey that was intended to last. Of the many things that are different between the Xternal Sports Pro-Style Jersey and other company’s standard paintball jersey is first and foremost the padding. While some companies have tried to include padding into the paintball jerseys there hasn’t been a company yet that has managed to embed the padding in the jersey in such a way that is durable, long-lasting and comfortable without unnecessary bulk. Also, most companies that include padding in their paintball jersey only include the padding in few area.
The Pro-Style Custom Paintball Jersey features padding that is stitched into the jersey in the chest and shoulder area as well as the upper and forearm. The unique pattern in which the padding is stitched makes the padding conform to the player which makes moving around in the jersey easy. The sleeves of the jersey also feature a unique two-piece design which makes the sleeves more durable meaning they will last longer and protect the player from turf-burns when sliding on the playing surface. The Pro-Style Jersey also features a radically different collar design that not only looks better but is actually designed to be more comfortable than the standard collar available on most paintball jerseys.

Paintball is one of the extreme sports. Once someone starts playing him or she may not like to stop at all. Players require money to play safe game. It is possible to play safe paintball game and get fun only when he or she has enough money in possession. A part of the money will be utilized for quality paintball gear including the paintball markers.
Deciding the Paintball Type
Ordinarily there are two types of paintball games. One of them is “woodsball” and the other one is “speedball”. However, there are multiple sub categories for these two main categories. While the former is played in woods the later is played in the inflatable bunkers. At the same time it is necessary to carry the proper paintball gear ensuring safe play. In fact it is safety that counts in the game of paintball.
Priority of Purchase
One of the first purchases would be the paintball mask. It should be well fitted for the user and should offer accurate amount of coverage for them. Using thermal lens masks helps because masks often become fogged. Ordinarily there are two types of paintball games. One of them is woodsball and the other one is speedball.

Well Fitted Gear
Naturally the first purchase would be the paintball mask. It should be well fitted for the user and should offer accurate amount of coverage for them. Using thermal lens masks helps because masks often become fogged. Masks are great protection against caliber paintballs that could be dangerous to open eyes and faces.
Protective Measures
At times while playing with equipments like the caliber paintballs it would be good wearing protective clothing to prevent injuries and irritating feelings. Moreover the protection is not only from the paintballs but also from sweat and other irritating components. But the most important protective measure would be to chronograph the market to the acceptable levels of below 300 FPS. While bruising might still result, it will reduce the chances of larger harms to the body due to impact.
Last but not the least; do not forget the barrel cover, a great protective device.
Dedicated to satisfaction of the customer Sureshotpaintballguns.com has a rare collection of paintball guns , grenade launchers as well as accessories such as the caliber paintball that can change the character of the game.

The paintball barrel is just as crucial as the paintball gun itself used to propel the paintball through the barrel. Without a proper suitable paintball barrel, a player, regardless of his experience and good aim, will find it very hard to hit the target within time. A high quality barrel and paint to bore match will significantly increase the accuracy and the ball on ball precision, very important in the world of paintball. With this article we will offer a few tips regarding how to choose a paintball barrel.
1. Set up a budget and stick to it. You need to know that barrels can be bought as a single barrel or as a kit. The first ones cost around 40-50 dollars while the kits go from 75 dollars up to 175 dollars for the complete models.
2. Now, choosing the barrel type. You need to answer yourself the following question: do you need a single barrel or a barrel kit? The kit will allow the player to match the size of the barrel bore. The bore is the distance inside the barrel. The paint size varies from .683 to .696 which means that the correct paint to match the barrel will give you the much needed maximum accuracy.
3. Choosing the length of the barrel. A shorter barrel will give the player more mobility while the longer barrels will provide more accuracy. Most of the paintball players use 12″-14″ barrels. Of course, there are some players that enjoy using a 16″ barrel in woods, but you need to know that these types of barrels require more gas to propel the paintball. More than 16″ is overkill, at least in our opinion and there is a great drop in accuracy in a 10″ barrel. The choice is up to you of course.
4. Barrel kits. Such kits allow the paintball player to chance back bores and front lengths. The more experienced paintball players use these kits as they provide the best accuracy with any given paint. Here are some recommended barrel kits that paintball players use on a regular basis:
a) Powerlyte Sceptor (2000 series);
b) JJ Edge;
c) Smart Parts Freak (stainless steel inserts);
d) Dye Ulralite;
e) TI Longbow.
5. If you consider that a barrel kit is out of your price range, you need to start looking for a reliable single barrel. Here are a few examples of good single barrels:
a) J&J Ceramic – has a Teflon/ceramic coating to help the barrel clean better through ball breaks;
b) Lapco Bigshot – a rather loud to some but a great barrel for the price;
c) CP .689 – a rather popular barrel by a good company.
6. If by any chance you find someone that has the barrel you are planning on purchasing, give it a try on the paintball field. You must check for accuracy and marker balance.
7. The last obvious step would be to purchase the desired product. Check at your local paintball store, online shops and in paintball forums.
Good luck.
