If you’ve ever wondered whether paintball gun upgrades are really worth it, you’re not alone. Many paintball sites push extras that don’t add much value, but at Mega Paintball we believe in being upfront and honest. Our goal is to give every player the best possible experience — whether you stick with our reliable standard kit or choose to upgrade your marker. That’s why we only offer genuine paintball gun upgrades that deliver real benefits.

What Are Paintball Gun Upgrades?

A paintball gun upgrade simply means switching from the standard site marker to an enhanced model with additional features. These upgraded guns can offer:

  • Faster firing rates for more action on the field.
  • Greater accuracy thanks to precision barrels and advanced mechanics.
  • Realistic military-style designs that look and feel authentic.
  • Improved comfort and handling with adjustable stocks and ergonomic grips.

Upgrades aren’t essential — our standard guns are excellent — but for players who want to take their game up a notch, they can add an exciting new dimension.

Our “True” Upgrade Guns

At Mega Paintball, our upgrade guns aren’t just dressed-up site markers — they’re genuine, high-performance models chosen for their quality and reliability.

  • Bravo 1 M16 Paintball Marker – Fitted with a ported barrel and adjustable stock, this gun combines accuracy, control, and a realistic military feel.
  • Smart Parts Vibes – An entry-level tournament marker that’s electro-mechanical, lightning fast, and fitted with a large double trigger for rapid firing. Perfect for players who want speed and responsiveness.
  • Tippmann A5 with Cyclone Feed System – A favourite among seasoned players. The cyclone feed keeps paintballs flowing smoothly for consistent rapid fire and fewer jams.

You can even spot these upgrade guns in our photos — so you’ll know exactly what to expect on game day.

Do You Need to Upgrade?

Not at all! Our Tippmann FT12 site markers are brilliant all-rounders — durable, reliable, and more than capable of giving you a fantastic paintball experience. We don’t believe in upselling or forcing players to spend more than they need to.

Upgrading is simply an option if you’d like to:

  • Try something more unique and advanced.
  • Experience the thrill of faster firing rates.
  • Enhance your accuracy and handling.
  • Enjoy a taste of tournament-style paintball equipment.

It’s your choice — and either way, you’ll have a great time on the field.

Safety and Fair Play Always Come First

Whether you choose a standard marker or a paintball gun upgrade, every player competes on a level playing field. All our guns are velocity checked weekly (chronographed) to ensure consistent performance and safe gameplay. That means fair matches, no unfair advantages, and total peace of mind for everyone.

Paintball Gun Upgrades at Mega Paintball Dorset

At the end of the day, paintball gun upgrades are about choice, not pressure. If you’re happy with our reliable FT12s, you’ll have just as much fun. But if you want to push your paintball skills further and try out something a little different, our upgrade guns are ready and waiting for you.

Book your next paintballing day out with Mega Paintball Dorset and see for yourself why our genuine paintball gun upgrades make such a difference.

We did paintball here a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I've done paintball several times before at different places and some of the format is similar in each. What was nice about this place was that although safety was still paramount it had a nice relaxed feel and the chap was happy for us to pick and choose what we fancied. It still blimming hurts when you get hit but but that raises the stakes and makes it sadistically more enjoyable when you hit them back. Thanks for a good day out.

The team were great. There were 8 of us who went and they were more than happy to accommodate us and let us play how we wanted. The guns are the best I’ve used (they shoot straight!) and marshalls are good fun. By far the best paintballing centre I’ve been to!

Wow! What a great day. Booked this for my son's 10th birthday for him and 14 of his friends. Mark was a fantastic host/leader for the kids. Safety brief was thorough and well explained. You can tell Mark has been doing this for a while - taking charge of 15 lively lads is no small task! The boys had such a great day - all parents have got in touch to say what a wonderful time the children had. Couldn't fault Mark from the start of the booking process, to the kids finishing at the end of the day. Definitely recommend and I'm sure we will be back! Thanks so much Mark - Zoe 🙂
