Top 10 Best Paintball Guns of 2023

Why We Love It:	It’s cheap and very functional
Best For:	Beginners

Tippmann 98 Custom – Old Reliable!

I know what you are thinking… why do we have a gun listed here first that was made in 1998? To simply answer this, the Tippmann 98 Custom is super easy to use, clean, and is wicked reliable.

The 98 is like that old Toyota Camry your friend use to pick you up in. It is no Ferrari that is going to win any races, but it also isn’t going to leave you stranded on the side of the road (a bad analogy, I know, sorry).

Expect reliable performance from this semi-automatic marker, powered with CO2 or HPA for mechanical operation and boasts anti-chop technology for minimal paint breakage. For those who don’t know what anti-chop technology (ACT) is, the bolt will stop midway if it’s about to break a paintball in your gun and allow the paint to enter your barrel, then continue and blast that thing out.

The 98 Custom is on our list of paintball markers because it offers unbelievable durability and easy maintenance for beginner players. As users gain experience, you can polish the internals, keep it regularly cleaned and lubricated, and this will still be one of the best paintball guns for any beginner for 10 years after you have owned it.

Like we said above in our horrible analogy, this thing won’t win you any races by being the fasted, lightest, or most accurate gun, but man, is this thing a tank!

For users who can’t spare the extra dough, an even cheaper version called the Tippmann Cronus goes for almost $40 less than the 98. The main difference with the Cronus is that it will have a cheaper plastic frame vs. the Custom.

Tippmann A5 – Surprisingly Great & Improved on the 98

The Tippmann A5 is practically a supped-up version of the 98 Custom.

Tippmann A5 makes its way onto our list thanks to Tippmann’s good ol’ cyclone feed and air-powered hopper system. This basically means that while other players are shaking their paintball guns with gravity hoppers, you will be putting two in their chest.

The A5 is basically an overhaul of the Tippmann 98 Custom. This great paintball marker offers reliability, simplicity, and easy maintenance for any beginner seeking some fun that isn’t going to break the bank or their sanity repairing all the time. It efficiently feeds paintballs during the shoot and minimizes any chance of jams, broken paintballs, and skipped shots. 

If you are going to pick this paintball gun up, the number one upgrade for the A5 is getting some softer paddles for the cyclone feed. The second buy, I would say, is to throw the stock barrel away and get either an APEX 2 or a Flatline barrel, then you are cookin’!

Planet Eclipse EMEK – Wicked Great Mech Option!

I am going to be honest… This is one of the best paintball guns on the market for the price.

Regarding reliability, nothing beats the mechanical paintball gun; this is precisely what Planet Eclipse EMEK delivers.

On par with high-end paintball guns, this marker guarantees exceptional shot quality and accuracy on the paintball field. The iconic Gamma Core Drive Train in the EMEK is a bonus that ensures smooth firing, reliability, and ease of maintenance.

This, hands down, is one of the top mechanical paintball guns 2023 in the category, where every trigger pull gives consistently smooth shots.

If you do end up getting the EMEK, don’t use a gravity-fed or PAL loader. Upgrade the hopper to LVL 1.5 will ensure you have zero dry fires or chopped paintballs.

Why We Love It:	Best Pump Paintball Gun
Best For:	Beginners to Intermediates

Azodin KP3 – Top Intro Choice for you Pump Lovers. Period.

This simple pump marker grants novice users an awesome pump gun experience. Its smooth operation and straightforward design make it an easy win in the beginner category for pumps. A truly fun and reliable marker.

Big upgrades for the KP3 are a Hitman Plate, and a Freak Barrel will pretty much set you up completely. The barrel is self-explanatory, but the Hitman plate gives great surface area for the pump

Besides that, an Azodin Auto Trigger is a huge win with the KP3. Without it, the Azodin KP3 cannot auto-fire.

If you want this feature right out of the box, check out the Azodin KPC+ instead. Increased efficiency, better ergonomics, and unique colors mark the iteration of the new Azodin KP3. 

The only real setback we have on the KP3 is the regulator seat will blow on these. Super common after a few years, so don’t be discouraged. Azodin support has always been extremely helpful.

Why We Love It:	Beginner Magfed Marker
Best For:	Beginners

Tippmann TMC – The Entry Reliable Magfed

The Tippmann TMC is one of the best paintball guns for getting into the magfed scene if you are on a budget. The key word here is ‘budget’!

You aren’t going to get extreme precision or majorly durable parts with the TMC, but you are getting a lot for the little money this paintball gun goes for.

Additional mags are necessary for battlefield reloads, but you also have an optional feed neck attachment to revert to hoppers for your paintballs with this gun.

The TMC has your standard upgrade options, like replacing the tactical stock, new grips, ergonomic trigger, and the marker housing frame.

Super easy to maintain, this marker literally takes a few seconds, and you can slide out the internals, add grease, slide back in, and you are good to go.

With the EMF100, you will have a blast. Zero chopped paint, super easy to maintain, and tons of mods. All of this, and you won’t have to break the bank. This paintball gun is a win-win.

Planet Eclipse Etha3 – A Truly Freaking Great Marker

The electronic marker platform increased its offering with the new Planet Eclipse Etha3. To be frank, this paintball gun is practically indestructible. A killer value for a modest budget, easily making a list as one of the best new paintball guns in 2023!

The Etha3 marker has an advanced drivetrain that greatly improves performance, no matter the game type. The core system is a spool-valve system designed to improve accuracy, while a soft bolt-tip ensures reduced ball breakage. 

With this marker, you won’t have to worry about maintenance or assembly, as it has the same quick-release bolt assembly feature the Etha2 had. You can also compact the entire marker with the aluminum low-rise feed neck. 

It now comes with a 3-point adjustable aluminum blade trigger, which elevates the experience for potential players in high-end guns. This mid-range level gun is easy to use, lightweight, and durable.

Dye M3+ – When You Need Everything and the Kitchen Sink

Are you rolling in dough and have finally been thinking about treating yourself with the best? Grabbing the best paintball gun package with the Dye M3+ will get you the Rolls Royce out on the field.

The Dye M3+ paintball marker is known for its incredible performance on the field. From my experience, its shooting prowess and precision are remarkable, offering a smooth shot that’s hard to rival. The low recoil is a notable feature, complemented by consistent performance and remarkable efficiency.

The Dye M3+ doesn’t fall short in design and ergonomics. Its comfortable grip during gameplay, balanced feel, and lightweight design are considerable advantages, making it a joy to handle even during intense sessions.

Aesthetically, this marker looks absolutely sick and has an array of color options to choose from.

However, no product is without its drawbacks. We have noticed some instances of leaks, and mechanical hitches have cropped up, needing repairs. The marker requires more regular cleaning and maintenance than other models on the market, which could be a point of contention for some users.

Price-wise, the Dye M3+ does lean towards the more expensive side. Some may see this as a downside, but this paintball marker provides a comprehensive package of quality and performance, with some room for improvement in reliability and upkeep.

Umarex T4E TR50

Umarex T4E TR50 Review

The Umarex T4E TR50 is a light, compact, and easy-to-use paintball revolver that’s certainly fun to have around. It has a pleasing aesthetic, and its simplicity makes it a great option for a secondary or even primary marker.

The CO2 use is pretty efficient and features a convenient CO2 release valve. Despite its light frame, it’s also quite accurate for its caliber, though you need to be mindful of the noise in enclosed spaces, as it can get loud.

Carrying the TR50 can be tricky due to its smooth back, which might not grip securely in most holsters. A workaround could be using a left-handed browning revolver holster backward or tying it off to the trigger guard when not holstered

Maintenance is straightforward, with just a little oil in the CO2 chamber between sessions. However, cleaning paint from the barrel can be a little tough due to how the rings sit inside.

As for the price, it’s considered reasonable for what you get. Extra rings are also available for cheap.

Overall, the Umarex T4E TR50 is a reliable and impressive paintball revolver. It does require some getting used to, particularly with loading and limitations. Also, you might need to do some tweaking if your field has strict FPS rules, but be prepared for some fun times with this nifty little piece.

Tippmann TiPX

The Tippmann TiPX is a .68 caliber paintball marker with sturdy construction and reliable performance.

It has a 7-round magazine and a quick-release system for easy and fast reloading. The TiPX is semi-automatic and can be powered by a 12g CO2 cartridge hidden in the marker’s grip. It also has an external velocity adjuster.

It’s considered a high-quality, mid-priced marker suitable for players of all skill levels. It’s reliable, easy to maintain, and has a good range.

It is also customizable, with many players adding different barrels, remote lines, and other accessories to improve performance or comfort.

There are some noted drawbacks to the TiPX, many with the magazines being too small and requiring frequent reloading. Some have issues with the marker chopping paintballs, though this seems less of a problem with higher quality paint.

While the TiPX is generally considered to be a good value for the price, we feel that the extra costs for magazines and other accessories can add up.

A Paintball Marker Buyers Guide: The different types available

The paintball marker that suits you best will largely depend on your style of play and experience level. For beginners, user-friendly markers designed with simplicity and affordability in mind, such as the Tippmann Cronus, are typically the best fit. They offer reliability and are made from robust materials to endure rough handling.

Intermediate players often lean towards mechanical markers that deliver more flexibility and control. Models like the Tippmann A5 are a significant upgrade, providing enhanced power and accuracy while remaining relatively easy to operate.

For advanced players and those participating in professional tournaments, high-performance electronic markers like the Empire Axe 2.0 or Planet Eclipse CS2 are commonly the best paintball gun in the category. These sophisticated markers feature electronic triggers and multiple firing rates, offering superior speed and accuracy that meet the high demands of competitive play.

This still leaves out the top end, like the Lux TM40, or the Dye M3+ as we mentioned above. These are in the category of the best paintball gun for those that are looking for the Ferrari of the paintball world. They will take professional level maintenance, but without a doubt, these markers will deliver professional level quality, on and off the field.

Understanding the Mechanisms

The bolt system in a paintball marker is the heart of its operation. The two main types, spool valve, and poppet valve systems, have special operational performances and maintenance requirements. Spool valve systems generally offer a smoother, quieter operation but can demand more frequent maintenance due to their intricate mechanism. Poppet valve systems are recognized for their efficiency, consistency, and robustness but might produce more noise during operation.

The type of propellant used, CO2 or High-Pressure Air (HPA), can significantly influence the marker’s performance and reliability. CO2 is cheaper but can be less consistent, while HPA offers superior performance but at a higher cost.

Choosing the Right Caliber

The caliber of a paintball refers to its diameter. A .68 caliber is the standard size and is widely used in most paintball games, providing a balanced range and impact. On the other hand, .50 caliber paintballs are smaller and lighter, making them more suitable for younger players or indoor games where less impact is preferred. The choice of caliber will also determine the type of ammunition and gear (like hoppers and barrels) you’ll require.

Maintenance and Disassembly

Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity of your paintball marker. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of paint and dirt, which could damage your marker over time. If you’re a beginner, consider choosing a marker that is easy to disassemble and clean. Some high-end models are designed for tool-less disassembly, simplifying the maintenance process significantly.

Comfort and Ergonomics

An ergonomic and comfortable marker can significantly improve your performance on the field. Features like a rubber foregrip can offer better control and reduce hand fatigue during long games. While not essential, a collapsible stock can be a valuable addition for scenario games where accuracy over long distances is required. This is a category where finding the best paintball gun for your own likes and wants is best served by going to a local paintball shop and testing out how different individual markers feel in your hands.

Features and Upgrades

Markers with the option for upgrades allow for customization and performance enhancement. A clamping feed neck, for instance, can secure the hopper to the marker, reducing the risk of it detaching during gameplay. Upgrades like barrel kits, electronic loaders, and programmable circuit boards can enhance your marker’s performance and versatility.

Remember to consider compatibility with common threading systems like Autococker, Ion/Luxe, and Tippmann when opting for barrel upgrades. If weight was a factor, a lightweight marker is a must. We love the Shocker AMP.

Accuracy and Rate of Fire

Accuracy and rate of fire are crucial performance aspects of a paintball marker. High-end markers like the Planet Eclipse CS2 offer exceptional accuracy and a fast rate of fire, which can be massive in competitive games. However, a high rate of fire often leads to faster paintball consumption, so it’s important to balance this with your playing style and budget.

Accessories and Customization

Accessories can add functionality to your marker and make it uniquely yours. For players who enjoy MilSim (Military Simulation) games, accessories like Picatinny rail space for additional sights or collapsible stocks can enhance your gaming experience. There are also some O-ring kits out on the market that offer color customization. These O-rings can offer a unique and fun way to customize an otherwise stock or normal gun.

Other add-ons like different types of hoppers, upgraded tanks, and tactical sights can further boost your marker’s performance and tailor it to your preferred style. Masks are essential to your gear, ensuring safety, comfort, and visibility during gameplay.

Budget Considerations

Budget plays a significant role in your choice of paintball marker. While beginner level markers offer reliable performance for beginners at an affordable price, intermediate and advanced markers, with their additional features, come at a higher cost. Be sure to factor in ongoing costs like paintballs, air refills, and maintenance. If you anticipate upgrading, consider the potential resale value of your current marker. Remember, the best marker isn’t necessarily the most expensive one—it’s the one that offers the best value for your specific needs and budget.

Research and Ask Questions!

Choosing the right paintball marker amid a sea of options can be daunting. Start by assessing your needs and skill level. Are you seeking the feature-loaded performance of electronic markers, or do you prefer a durable mechanical marker for rough-and-tumble play? Maybe a compact paintball pistol for backyard target practice is more your speed.

Remember, the best marker is one that aligns with your style of play, comfort, skill level, and budget. Don’t rush your decision—take the time to research, ask questions to experienced players or professionals in the field, and try out different models if possible. Your marker is an investment in your paintball experience, so make sure it’s right for you.
