    2026 Retailers

    What's the online retail market like in 2026?

    I'm looking for a few things that are perhaps worth buying new - tanks, lenses, etc - and wondering who's out there, and people's opinions.

    Ansgear - obviously big, with a reputation.
    Lone wolf paintball - BOOM! but fulfilled my Hydra pads and Spectra lens order, so there's that.
    Rockstar Tactical - if it's in stock
    Paintball Gateway - Shopify redirected me... hope it's not permanent.

    Who else is out there, and do you have any favorites?

    Harder and harder to get 15/45 tanks and 10rd tubes...

      I like PunisherPB and MCS for my magfed stuff. I still buy from ANS because sometimes it's just easier.

          It's been a couple years since I got anything from them, but I've worked with https://www.blackfridaypaintball.com on most of my new purchases in the past and it's been good experiences.

              Paintballgateway got renamed and they didn't bother to do a redirect from the old web page

                          The PB Retro filter function is a joke. Wish they made it more user friendly.

                              Paintball Wizard is great people.
                              Punishers is great.
                              PB Sports and time2pb are great.

                              PB Gateway is now https://adrenalinepaintballairsoft.com/ and still has lots of cocker stuff.

                              I've never had issues with ANS.

                                      as For Canadians:
                                      Badlandspaintball.com - same expensive store as always.

                                      Paintballgear.ca - has some old treasures if you keep looking.

                                      Impact-proshop.com - my favourite Canadian retailer. Fast shipping, good prices.

                                      Herooutdoors.com - avoid. Lists stuff they don’t have, then make you take store credit. Boo.

                                      premiumpaintballproducts.com - haven't ordered from. For a while their website wasn't working properly but seems to be updated. New Website seems to be current.

                                      forgot a couple:
                                      mechpaintballcanada.com. ID retailer in Canada. Perpetually out of stock of lots of items but good to order from.

                                      Maieractionsports.com. Some paintball stuff still.


                                      ntensitycustoms.com. Canadian Nova Retailer. Site recently updated to have Nova products!

                                          Hero Outdoors are scammers. They list it in stock, don't actually have it, and then offer store credit instead of a return.

                                              Strong second on the Hero Army Surplus being not reputable. I would never deal with them online even in person I was left with a slimy feeling.
