ATTN Paintballers: I need some ADVICE - GoFuckYourself.com

Triple 6 · 12-17-2004, 04:09 PM

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.

By far the best paintball gun. There site is

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

KMR Stitch · 12-17-2004, 11:42 PM

Also Buy a Profiler Mask

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.
