Do not used goggles with cracked lenses because it can only withstand 300ft/sec velocity and when you get hit by a paintball with having higher velocity there is a big chance that the lenses will not be able to protect your eyes. If paintball markers are not being used, if possible, put a barrel plug. So in case the marker fires up accidentally it will not hit anyone. And do not ever look into the marker’s barrel. If you cannot unscrew the marker’s tank or propellant do not force it to avoid accidental explosion of the expanding gas. Do not just masks that you find at home, use the ones that are really made for this game. If your marker needs any kind of repair even a minor repair, have it looked by an expert. Do not leave propellants under the sun, it can rise to a very dangerous expanding level. Do not attempt to customize or alter your markers and propellants. Make sure that you do not overfill propellants. HPA propellants have a gauge to indicate if tank is full not unlike carbon dioxide-filled propellants. With these simple safety tips for paintball players you will for sure enjoy every minute of each game and will avoid anyone ending up in the emergency room.
