If anyone has experience with Action Cameras could you recommend me a mask, at the moment I have a Vforce Grillz which doesn't have a spot for a mount.

Masks in my opinion are not very good to get good paintball footage as your head moves so much during the game

best thing to do if you want to see who you kill is mount it to your Barrel

i use the 1080P R7 Camera and its very good

e-Vents/Flex. They have flat oval gems on the sides that hold the lenses in which is a good place to glue a mount to.

As we all say, your mask is the most important bit of your kit.

Don't go changing your mask just for your camera though.

All of our heads are of different shapes and sizes, as are all of the different mask's. If your happy with your mask, then changing it is the worst thing to do.

Do as @STONESOLDIER said, and think of moving your camera to a different area.

The thing is when putting a camera on your head, you will never get 100% forward gun view in order to capture whats happening in the game

even if you mount to camera in direct line of sight when you come to shoot your gun your tilt your head forward slightly and so now looking down
when your not shooting your gun your head is straight now the camera looking up in the air slighty

your head is constantly looking for targets checking off lanes checking different directions, your gun wont be it will be pointing at who you eventually see.

your gun is allways forward and will capture the correct height

Also with the camera on your marker you can improve. Sometimes, you wont even realise it but you relax your arms and your marker drifts down. This might not seem bad but when you see a target, it means you will take more time in getting off your first shot. Use your camera to improve your stance to make you better.

God that sounds like some kind of poo but believe me it will work

The most importante is not the mask. It's more important the camera.

I mount my gopro in the back of the marker and I get a cool 3rd. Person view. Try it.
