Deals on paintball guns can be had, you just need to know where to look for them.
1. Used Guns

The the cheapest place to find deals on paintball guns is to look for used guns. Paintball guns don't hold their value exceptionally well and a year old gun can be had at a significant discount. There are multiple places to buy used paintball guns, so keep your eyes open and see what you can find.
2. Old Model Years

Another way to get deals is to buy new paintball guns that are gathering dust. For some reason an Ego from last year simply isn't worth nearly what a current year's model is, even if they are both brand new and unused. If you can find stores that still have the old guns in stock, you can often pick up a deal
One disadvantage of searching for deals like this is that you are primarily limited to high-end paintball guns. If you want to buy a basic mechanical blowback, you probably aren't going to get a great deal on one that has been on the shelf for a year.
