Homemade paintball guns can be a lot of fun to make. Maybe you want to do it for the satisfaction of knowing you're the one that created it, or maybe you just want to learn more about how they work.

Either way, there is a lot to learn when it comes to making your own paintball gun.

Getting down the basics will allow you to further explore on your own to come up with your own new designs.

The first thing to realize is that they do not necessarily cost a lot. In fact, most materials you probably already have laying around the house somewhere.

To make basic homemade paintball guns, you will need materials like the following:

• - PVC pipes
• - Couplers
• - Duct tape
• - A coke bottle (any is fine, however you want it to be a 2-liter)

With just those materials, you can make your own gun. All you need to do is be creative and design it the way you want it to look.

There are many different ways to do it, and you could potentially come up with a completely new weapon design!

Do keep in mind, however, that while creating your own homemade paintball guns may be fun, they more than likely will not hold up on paintball fields.

Though this is true, you can make one with your friends and come up with your own custom paintball games that rely solely on the guns you all made.

Making your own gun can also benefit you in that you have something unique, and did not have to go to any paintball stores to spend a lot of money to obtain it (not to mention you will save a lot of money on CO2 since you will not need any).

Show off to your friends and maybe you'll find others that will pay you to make one for them as well!

Everyone likes custom things, and custom paintball guns are no exception.

Now head out there and make your own paintball gun.

Make up a new game. Get your friends involved, and most importantly, have fun while you do it!
