NEW product SPOTLIGHT Empire Gear Bag Half the battle for a day of paintball is getting everything you need to the field and back in good condition. That’s more difficult than it seems, considering many players must traverse everything from airports and long car rides to deep grass, mud, dirt, sand, gravel and weather conditions that are anything but predictable. A good paintball gear bag is indispensable for the game, and Empire’s bag is a great choice, with its numerous zippered compartments ideal for storing anything from cleats and goggles to markers, bottles, jerseys, pants, pads and the various tools and smaller items every player is certain to need. Well-made, with large wheels and durable construction, an Empire gear bag is a great choice to get your gear to the field and back, whether down the street or halfway around the world! www.EmpirePaintball.com Valken Shotgun One of the great additions to the traditional game of paintball over the last several years is the addition of low-impact paintball, which allows younger and more skeptical potential players the opportunity to take a whack at paintball without all those welts, helping local parks grow their businesses and help the entire world of paintball grow! Valken has invested heavily in the low-impact game with their Gotcha line, including these pump spring-powered blasters that shoot .50 caliber paintballs or foam balls at velocity enough to be exciting but not enough to sting! For younger players, birthday parties and first-time rental groups, there isn’t a much better way to be introduced to the sport we all love, allowing them to fall in love with the game before moving up to air-powered markers and .68 caliber paintballs!
