Paintball was originally inspired by Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game, a short story in which a Russian big-game hunter, bored with hunting animals, turns to hunting humans for sport. Since its inception in 1976, the game has exploded in popularity. Each year, over 10 million people play paintball in the US alone. It’s little wonder, then, that companies like WDP and Planet Eclipse seek to outdo each other by making the fanciest and most expensive paintball guns.
WDP Angel G7 – $1,500
Last year, WDP wowed paintball enthusiasts with the Angel G7. Billed as the fastest paintball gun in the world, it was capable of firing thirty-one pellets per second at a muzzle velocity of 300 feet per second. It was also the most expensive paintball gun at the time, priced at just under $1,500. That didn’t keep it from selling, though; WDP sold a thousand of these expensive guns in just one week.
Planet Exclipse SL74 – $1,995
More recently, however, Planet Eclipse unveiled their SL74. Weighing less than two pounds, it may just be the lightest paintball gun in the world. The gun also offers less kick than previous models in the series and even features a mechanism to allow its user to choose between lower pressure and a higher shot count. Of course, it’s the most expensive paintball gun in the world; it’s priced at $1,995.
Breda M37 8mm Machine Gun replica by Real Action Paintball – $4,999
Blowing WDP and Planet Eclipse out of the water in terms of price, this custom made replica by Real Action Paintball weighs 30 lbs and can fire in semi-automatic, short burst and full auto modes. The gun features at least one major point of departure from the weapon on which it’s based—the Q-Loader automatic paintball feed system. The gun is custom built from an Airgun Designs Automag RT Pro paintgun, which features x-valve, a level 10 anti-chop bolt and an ultra-light trigger pull kit. Of course, being a custom, it takes four weeks for the thing to be built and delivered.
Unfortunately, electronic guns like these may not perform so well in woodsball—paintball played in a wooded area rather than an indoor location—as the firing mechanisms may freeze up if you get them dirty. In these cases, it may be best to go with a less expensive, mechanical gun.

do you sell other brands? i think MR2 s should come to fame
that is so cool but it isnt that much money
ok how is that not that much!? if you knew anything about paintball you would know that it cost you about 100 each time you go play(maybe a lil less i tend 2 shoot a lot) so if you compare that to a car its like paying 500dollers everytime you use it!
This is not the most expensive paintball gun in the world. RAP sells a paintball machine gun that sells for $4,999. It sells two others for $3,999. So it' s not even the third most expensive gun in the world.

who is going to buy a gun for 5 grand and i bet it weighs a ton, so good luck running round with it
the most expensive gun is a minigun, the really nice ones (which must be custom made by someone not a company) can cost as much as 6 or 7 thousand
they absolutely destroy air, and pump out as much as a few hundred rounds a second
Those are not the expensive. DD duck paintball pistol sold for 11000 on ebay
couldn’t take these in the backyard but would really like to
i have the Breda M37 8mm Machine Gun replica by Real Action Paintball at my contry house in the hamptons
Back in 1991 my best friend had a paintball gun custom made out of new york for 3200 bucks, it shot 960 fps and was a bolt action single shot. It was the most accurate gun I’ve ever shot as I used to have a red ryder bb gun without sights I could look down the barrel all day long and shoot any leaf picked out by another person on a 120 foot tall weeping willow tree and knock it off by the stem of the leaf!
When my buddy bought this gun I took a shot at about 175 yards just by putting it to my shoulder and in about 1 second and then just like I would look down the barrel on the red ryder and I shot my friend right between the eyes and broke his brand new oakley sunglasses! also painted his black afro flourescent green. Came to find out later he was on his way to go pick up a girl for a date! Hee hee, but as far as I know that was the most expensive gun there was and that was before most of you kids were born!
that is sick that looks like a real gun
I use an Etek and I’m on a professional woodsball team. I think that statement about electros being used in woodsball are inferior to the mechanicals is plain wrong. Electros are wayy better for woodsball than most mechanicals I’ve seen in my opinion.
ok…. so do you talk about something else than paintball guns??????
yeh this is well cheap i bet it will break when i first touch it. My late husband had one for 10 grand but we only store them up here in the hills.
they should definantly make guns that shoot 40 a second. and angel and planet eclipse paintball guns should make rocking triggers thats the only bad thing about them
my friend has a gun for 1,000000$ with all the stuff he added on and is is the best
Stop, just stop…. go back to watching power rangers…
why the heck would someone spend that much money on just a paintball gun! a waste of money acording to me.
I need some money to get a new semi auto gun I just got a Brass Eagle pump (no so action) Raptor and cocking it is really annoying but I’d rather have a small Semi Auto gun than a fully Automatic so I’d rather have like a Planet Eclipse than that machine gun and even if they did let you play with that in a public field you would get owned because that has to be real heavy so you would have to sit there and you couldn’t really aim unless your’e like me (Hulk) so the semis would just shoot the crap outta you and you’d use up so much ammo too so even after you pay $5,000 you’d spend a few hundred bucks on paint so at the most I think you should buy a Plantet Eclipse or a Dye
i have a indian creek custon that is great but i want a beter gun and that planet eclipse looks great.
Ilove your gun
Actually theres two guns more expensive than this now, (technically 3) The two guns are the Bling 09 Ego which is just an 09 Ego with the externals covered in Swarovski crystals, which is $5001, and the SL91 from Planet Eclipse which is a limited edition Geo, only ten made, two released to the public, 5 to planet Eclipse workers, and the other three went to various people around the world, one sold for $7000 on Ebay and the other went for $6250, this page needs to be updated.
I have an ALPHA BLACK .68 caliber paintball gun that lets you change how many paintballs you shoot per second, its light and i love it. Why spend so much money unless your a pro? You could just get one like mine for $200
I know of a paintball gun that is worth 80,000 dollars and is an exact replica of a WW2 MG42
thats retarded, just buy a car if you want to spend that much money!!!
Why would anyone spend money on a paintball machine gun, when would that come in handy. As for the Ego, very good gun. I have a DLX Luxe right now and it fires like a champ well worth the price if your playin in tourneys
Dave Loo’s original DD68 Desert Duck went for $8,100USD on eBay a few years back. It holds the record as most expensive paintball gun sold.
There is just no point in buying a paintball gun for that price, yes, it might have crystals around it or it might fire a hundred rounds per second but its not how it looks. It’s how it performs. I’ve got a proto SLG 2010, a perfectly good gun.
will sterling, those arent really paintball guns they are paintball rpg’s and use all the air in about 1 shot. they suck
5,000 dallors is a stupid ripoff
yall r all liers
Yes, because the inventor of the AAR-12 would be commenting on paintball guns, and has poor grammar. but who am I to kid, I am endorsed by Dye and have my own line of markers from them… Name's Ollie
I got the Planet Exclipse Its a great gun Its the best I had till now
you guys relise thos 5000$+ guns are used for milsim reinactment and stuff like that as thos machine guns are stationary turrets used for bunker protection you guys clearly are not real paintball fanatics and need to do your reasearch more
