    ATTN Paintballers: I need some ADVICE

    a yooooooooo


    Im lookin to start paintballing...

    http://www.skirmish.com

    Im in NY so this isnt too far out from me, and by the looks of it, they got some sweet fuckin fields ...

    My question: Since Im a noob and never went PBing before, whats a good gun to start with?

    My price range is that I dont want the cheapest, or the most expensive.

    I already have myself a full body camo outfit., so I wont be needing that. I dont have a mask though.

    So can you suggest me some guns / sites I should check out? And what kinds of things should I look out for when buying this shit? Annnnd... say if I was going to go PB'ing for 6 - 8 hours, how much supplies would I need, do you think?


    <thanks>

      Find a PB shop and ask them. They know everything and would find the perfect gun for you.

          It all depends on how much you want to spend... which can be quite a lot :D

          Me, I'd rather be playing airsoft.

                  Wouldn't it be wise to hire some gear for the day, to see if it is something you actually want to do regularly? That said though, I am going again tommorow, and it is a hell of a lot of fun.

                          I just got back paintballing :-)

                          Well if you are a newb....Get a cheap

                          Spyder imagine

                          and swap parts.

                          Upgrade the Barrel "stiffy" or "all American" or Dye Boomstick 14-16inches.

                          Buy a Revoultion Loader 12V

                          And buy a 45/4500 Crossfire HPA Nitro System or stubby.

                          Thats not the best of the best but its a damn good setup for a newb.

                          Spyder = 120.00 (Semi 3 6 and 12/automode)
                          Barrels = "stiffy 99.00" All American "65.00" Dye Boomstick "75.00"

                          Revoultion Loader ="65.00"

                          Crossfire High Pressure tank 45/4500 = 220.00


                          So About 400.00.ish

                              79-89.00

                              Trust me on that one

                                  OK first off your gun is like underware. WHat suits you wil not be the same for someone else.

                                  Personally I use a Bud Orr auto cocker (not jokes/puns needed....) with an extension. I like to be able to snipe with accuracy and the consistency of the gun. Of course it cost me $600 when I got it. You can buy a good frame for $100 and add the extension, syphon tank, etc as you see fit and can afford.

                                  Personally I would consider the camo from somewhere like here:

                                  http://extremecamouflage.com/index.html

                                  Decide your style of play and there area that you usually play in (indoors or outdoors) and then decide upon the gun of your choice.

                                      My boys both use a Tippman A-5 with response trigger and a flatline barrel.

                                              Oh btw.

                                              I would save your money if you are just playing that day.. And upgrade to the A-5 for 15.00 more..
