Best Tactical Flashlight For Paintball: Fenix PD35 vs. Streamlight ProTac

Introduction

What is the most important item that all players of airsoft should carry in their tool bags? They should carry a flashlight, a small and bright one to be more exact.

There are many reasons why this is important, the obvious one being that a tactical flashlight will come in handy when you are searching for your targets, or when you want to disorient them by flashing the light in their eyes to gain precious moments to find cover.

In addition to this, good quality flashlights can also be used to provide artificial light in outdoor settings while camping.

UTG 126 Lumen Combat Xenon Light, Handheld and Ring Mount Review

We understand that low light playing environments are often very difficult when it comes to the shooter’s ability to safely assess and search.

This further brings into perspective the importance of backstop awareness and target identification when playing airsoft.

Keeping this in mind, the handheld tactical xenon run flashlight of the UTG Combat series is the one for you. Why? Because it can be used quite comfortably as a handheld as well as being attached to the airsoft marker which provides you with the convenience you need when playing.
