Paintball Pistols

One look at the two of these paintball pistols, and you might have a hard time discerning what the differences are. After holding both of these pistols, and taking a good look at each, I couldn't tell you what was different. I instead had to ask, and they told me that basically there was only 1 major difference.

Kingman Chaser Marker, Black

Retail Price: $179.95

Amazon Price: $69.99

Kingman Eraser Marker, Jet Black

Retail Price: $229.95

Amazon Price: $99.00

What's The Difference Between The Chaser and Eraser?

Quality. Or as they put it -- materials used. The Chaser has a composite frame and grip, and the Eraser has an aluminum one. This difference in materials used for the frame is what explains the difference in prices. The aluminum Eraser costs more because it has more metal, while the Chaser is cheaper because it has a composite plastic body.

The next question you are probably wondering is, which is better? Many paintballers have stated that the Eraser is more durable, as they have experienced issues with parts wearing down in the Chaser. If I were you, I wouldn't risk my money on the Chaser, and would definitely fork over the extra 30 or so bucks for the Eraser. You may be paying a little bit more, but you will also have a more reliable paintball pistol.
