In 2024, the leading paintball guns haven’t undergone significant changes, but below, you’ll discover some exciting new additions. Check out my favorite paintball guns in various categories, ranging from beginner-friendly options to magazine-fed ones. I’ve personally used all of these and reviewed most of them on my YouTube channel.
A $1000 is a nice sweet spot to make a setup. It’s always fun to start looking at the cool stuff first so let’s start with guns, we have the Dye DSR, Empire SYX, Planet Eclipse 170R, and Shocker XLS.

Everyone is copying everyone. When Dye came out with the Dye UL pants, a lot of people thought they were crazy for releasing a pant that had zero padding.
