Paintball Accessories to Increase Realism

While many paintball enthusiasts love the game simply for its own pleasures, many find paintball exhilarating as a simulated military game. If you are a military enthusiast looking to put some more realism into your paintball games, there are several different accessories that can help. Military ball is often played in the woods by squad sized tactical teams in an outlaw ball type of setting. Other than using camouflage suits for clothing, take a look at some of these military accessories.

Ghillie suits are the traditional camouflage favorite of snipers the world over. With their many different layers of fabric, it is very hard to distinguish a sniper hiding under good cover who is wearing one. Ghillie suits can be purchased from specialty stores or occasionally from military surplus stores. It may take some getting used to moving in a ghillie suit, so if your team decides to wear them, make sure to practice quite a bit before the next big game.

Camo sticks and other face paint will help to get your team into a military mindset. Don't forget the face masks and gloves even when getting all painted up for a good game of woods ball. If you are using military camo sticks, they can be a little tricky to apply for the first time as they are oil based so as not to melt with sweating. They will go on easier over a layer of suntan lotion. Camo sticks are readily available at any military surplus store.

If you are playing complicated military scenarios over a large terrain area, radios are a must have accessory. You will want to set the volume so that you can be heard and hear what your team mates are saying without being so loud as to give your locations away to the enemy team. Its best to use radios that clip sturdily onto your equipment and won't easily come off with low crawling or diving and rolling in the brush. If your radio doesn't hang on, you will be replacing it often. Military load bearing equipment works well to provide easy access and safe holding of a hand held radio.

Binoculars are a must have accessory when playing stealthy games over large wooded areas. Spotting the enemy team before they spot you gives you a significant tactical advantage. With the element of surprise you can paint them up before they even realize what hit them. As with radios, be sure that you have a good way to secure a pair of binoculars. If you don't, it will get costly to replace them.

Medic pouches are a necessity when playing woods ball. Scrapes, cuts, sprains, and insect bites are among the least of the injuries possible when crashing around in the woods. Having a medic pouch with you can mean the difference between being able to treat a minor injury and having to call yourself out in need of help. Its a good idea to always carry a first aid kit when playing outside of a regulated field.

These are just a few ideas for paintball accessories to make you games feel more real. Remember when playing outlaw ball to always keep safety first, cover the ground rules with both teams present, and make sure players wear their masks at all times. Keeping safety first will enable you to continue having a blast for years to come.
