Paintball landmines and grenades are fantastic realistic accessories fro any scenario paintball game.  These items bring fun, strategic advantages and a new excitement to military simulation type play.  Landmines and paintball grenade launchers do however require certain necessary accoutrements; here is a selection of everything you will need…

When using a paintball grenade launcher, the first ting you will need is a grenade shell.  Paintball grenade shells come in two sizes; each carrying a different size paintball.  The M203 grenade shell holds .43 caliber balls, while the M68 shell shoots standard size .68 caliber paintballs.  Both however, function the same and will fit in any launcher.

Paintball grenade shells use regular paintballs for ammo.  The M68 shells will hold up to 17 x .68 caliber balls, while the M203 can carry up to 25 of the .43 cal size.  You can also purchase .43 cal grenade launcher paintballs; these are virtually the same as regular .43 cal balls, however a lesser grade so they are cheaper to buy.

Paintball grenade launchers are most effective in the 50 feet or less range and spray a quick burst of paint that causes lots of coverage close up.  They are not for precision targeting, but rather blanketing your opponents with a non-specific wave of color.  Paintballs of the least quality that have slight defects will be trouble for precision shooting – but perfect for paintball grenade launchers!

Once the paintball grenade shells are filled with paint, charge them up with air or CO2 from your paintball gun air tank using the AG1 Charger.  The AG1 Charger is a small, hand held device with a regulator that transfers the right amount of air into a paintball grenade shell or re-useable landmine.

Re-useable paintball landmines also require several accessories, including the AG1 Charger to power them up.  Rather than paintballs, landmines are filled with liquid paint or smoke simulation powder.  Liquid paint is cheap to buy, easy to make (just add water) and one batch will fill several landmines.

Some paintball landmines also use explosion caps to simulate a loud bang when activated.  Explosion caps can be used on the M80 and M-12 landmines, however are not essential to the mine’s function.  When activated, the M80 and M-12 landmines will explode an upward spray of paint or smoke with or without an explosion cap to make a noise.

Some paintball landmine and grenade accessories must be purchased repeatedly after use, like paintballs, paint mix and explosion caps.  Buy your paintball accessories at ChoicePaintballGuns to keep you favorite sport affordable.  We strive to offer quality paintball supplies and equipment at cheap discount prices so you will want to shop with us over and over again!
