In my personal opinon a hard cup is MUST the pants provide some protection but not enough if you want kids later if you know what i mean.
soft if anything, most people dont use them at all, i am one, before i had paintball specific pants and slider pants with a pad just for this in them i hung a hand towel out of my belt, cheap and easy way to provide protection and it does not get in the way while running
It would be a good idea, i do after a bad experience.
A certified paintball specific mask is required. Do not use Ballistic goggles, air soft goggles shop goggles, Welding masks, ski goggles, swim goggles, Bmx helmets, police helmets or anything not designed for the sport of paintball. Besides that, a cup and paintball chest protector help to lessen the sting. A hat and neck protector also do very well in absorbing impact.
Any sports cup will do.
yes, it does the same thing. well actually it depends, the term lube is often used to talk about a paintball grease (most common is DOW 33) and oil is well, oil, both are paintball specific but you should not be using grease/lube in a marker that requires oil or the other way around. The best paintball oil is Gold Cup oil and the best grease is Gold Cup Final Solution grease.
America has the most paintball teams, as well as the most world cup wins
There is the Nppl, there are 4 tournaments.
any synthetic marker oil made for paintball will do just fine, make sure it is paintball oil though. Do not use motor oil or WD-40. Gold Cup oil is the best paintball oil for blowbacks or the Gold Cup Final Solution grease for all high end guns.
From the retailer, Choice Paintball Guns, there are many paintball masks which are safety rated and stylish. Some of these masks are Dye Invision I4 Pro, Proto Axis Pro Mask, Save Phace DISS Series, and V Force Armour Goggle. The prices range from $25 to $120.
A cup is a soild because solids are hard (sometimes soft and fluffy) with can be changed shape only by force. However, for liquid, can changed it shape inside different jars or bowls.
15ml=1 Tbsp 250ml = 1 cup(hard conversion) 236.6ml=1 cup (soft conversion) this is the conversion you use (236.6/15=15.77333, round up to 16) So, 16 tbsps = equal 1 cup
cup & ram & hard drive storage
Yes you should. A hard cup should be worn during baseball to prevent injury.
