Rating: Summary: A Fairly Complete Guide to Paintball Review: I just started paintball and this book describes just about everything a newbie would want to know about the sport. A lot of really good pictures give you an idea of what type of clothing, camoflauge, marker accessories you might want to try. The more experienced player would probably use this book to get an idea of other types of games to play since quite a number of different games are described. A great book for beginner players and a very good book for the experienced players

Rating: Summary: All You Need To Start Playin! Review: I read this book because I was a newbie needing some good info on hiding, offense, defense etc... After i finished absorbing the explicit deatail in this book I went to Splat Attack (my nearest paintball field) and won the game practically by myself. We played a 7 on 7 and i took out 5 guys. This book is easy to read, and the information is worth it. "The Complete Guide to Paintball" is great for about anything you can think of.

Rating: Summary: Lives up to its name as the COMPLETE guide to Paintball Review: I'm relatively new to paintball and I wanted to get a book on it. I had the choice between the Ultimate Guide to Paintball and the Complete Guide to Paintball. I chose the Ultimate Guide because it was published later. That was a real mistake (you can read my review on the Ultimate Guide). When you first pick up this book you realize that someone put alot of work into it. The Ultimate Guide was published by a magazine company. It became obvious right away that they said, "Hey lets put a bunch of magazine articles together for a book!!!". The Complete Guide, however, did some leg work. They put some time into interviews which are all fascinating. Will these interviews help you to become a better player? Technically no. They just give you the background of where paintball came from and how it evolved to be todays game. It is also interesting that most of those interviewed do not like the progression the game has made (smaller fields, faster shooting guns, and tons of paint being used). They all admit, however, these changes were necessary to make paintball profitable. The strange thing is Bud Orr felt the same way even though the Autococker is one of the fastest shooting guns out there. Enjoyment of the game vs. sound business I guess. What if you are not interested in the history of the game and the interesting personalities involved? Well there are chapters on improving your game. There is also sound advice on upgrading and being a sniper. The book is honest, however, and admits that playing the game is the way to improve. You probably are not going to get full return on your money if you are only interested in improving your game. The first 3 parts are devoted to history, guns (which has alot of history from the gun makers), and gear. You can get most of the guns and gear info out of magazines and websites. I should also mention the pictures. They are beautiful. In color, up close, and personal. They do become a little redundant (how many ways can you show someone shooting a gun) but its better than the black and white photos in the Ultimate Guide to Paintball.
Rating: Summary: Best All around paintball book available Review: I've been playing 3years now, been on a couple local tournament teams, owned a number of guns, and shot through countless numbers of paintballs and I still learned a ton of different things from this book. This book was written by some of the most respected players and writers in the game today. Definately the most complete paintball book avaiable.
