"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more." But this time, warn your enemies beforehand. You've come prepared.

This is the fourth edition of the now legendary Facefull paintball Gear Guide, or as we like to call it, the Complete Guide to Screwing your Opponents, version 4.0. And no, this guide won't make you a better paintball player. It will do something else, something almost as important, it will give you the information necessary to equip yourself with the most technologically advanced paintball equipment available to you in 2006.

And why is gear so important in paintball? Because paintball is the Formula 1 of sports. It relies on skill, strategy, and technological supremacy. Much like the world in 2006. You will need to train, to learn how to defeat your opponent, but you will only be able to do so with the correct equipment. You'll need a long scope milsim to take the opponent lurking behind a tree like you'll need a 30bps eye-equipped competition marker to take out the remaining two players in the snake, with 26 seconds left on the timer. Different markers, different strategies, but one objective: to obliterate your opponent. And we don't care why you do it, you can do it for a Cup, for cash, for a better sponsoring deal next year, for pride, for the love of the game, to impress you friends or because you really don't like the guy. Bottom line, manufacturers have been working for decades to ensure that you have the most adapted marker, goggle, pack, barrel, air system and loader to do so. Throughout this guide, you'll find their gear split up in various categories to make it as simple and easy to find what you're looking for.

If you're familiar with our yearly gear guide, you'll also know that manufacturers don't like us very much. Why? Because, for the 4th year in a row, we are giving what no other guide, whether it be in paintball or any other industry, offers: Our opinion. We pride ourselves with letting you know what we think of each and every piece of equipment out there. But these ratings should only be used as simple safeguards, it's really up to you to balance the good and bad and make the ultimate purchase. So whether new to the sport, or a confirmed professional, this guide is for you. It is giving you the very best of what is available today, from the best paintball manufacturers in the world. We've of course upgraded our 4th edition, with more in-depth marker spec sheets, a scenario category and electronic boards, at the cutting edge of today's paintball technology. This year, manufacturers have continued to invest in research, have pioneered new breakthrough technologies, have slimmed the thinnest and accelerated the fastest, and you should thank them for it. Now it's up to you to make the best of it. And yes, when you take that first step on the battlefield, whether it be a Major League X-ball game, or the most mind-boggling of scenario games, you'll remember that all sport is as a war of sorts, and paintball, will forever be the ultimate sport of war.
