Stock Paintball: What Makes a Stock Class Paintball Marker

By Jerry Manuel


Want to get into stock class paintball? This highly overlooked game format has been steadily rising in popularity as more and more players are looking for cheaper yet challenging ways to play the game they love. The shame lies in that few players will ever give it a chance, but since you are reading this article, you must realize how great this format is.

What makes a stock class paintball marker unique? A couple of stuff. In fact, let us discuss what makes it so unique below...

The most noticeable feature is the overall size of the marker. If you take a close look, you'll see that a stock class paintball marker is missing two parts you often find on a normal paintball gun. These 2 parts are the hopper and the air tank.

Without a massive hopper, and air tank, it is most certainly lighter. It also requires a different strategy when being used. One you will probably have to get used to. Could you handle the challenge?

In place of where a hopper would be, is a 12 to 20 round feed tube, that rests horizontally on the top of the guns body. Most often the feed tube is only 12 rounds, which is 198 shy of what most paintballers are used to hauling.

Being a tank-less marker, a stock class gun is powered by a 12 gram co2 cartridge, which can provide roughly 20 to 50 shots. With only 20 to 50 shots per cartridge, you better make sure every shot you make counts, otherwise your in for a lot of reloading.

If this sounds like a challenge you would like to take on, then get yourself a stock class paintball gun. It can challenge your skills in many more ways and turn you into a much more rounded player. One that thinks and moves like a pro, and hits exactly what he is aiming at.
