I am interested in playing paintball with some of my friends. I have no idea what is needed so I need help trying to figure out what I will need. Also, what is the best gun for a beginner that is fast and reasonably priced? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ZG

Ok heres what you need. You should by a Spyder MR2 it is a good beginner gun but still have single, burst and full auto. It has a electirc trigger and is electric operated. Once you have that gun you need an electric hopper. Try gettign an empire one, bout 15 bps and that all you’ll need. After that get pods and a strap. Pods are the things that hold paintballs on a belt worn around your waste. Then you should buy a 20 0z co2 tank. Those are the basics. You shoudl wear light baggy clothing. Paintball is a very intense sport, if its during the day u risk heat exastion and fainting. Bring a lot of water and dont wear heavy clothes or u will not have a good time. Ok and in paintball wise you shouldn’t buy the crappy ones for $30 for 2000. You should at least buy proto balls or even better marbilizer (i think i didn speel that right). If you buy cheap balls then the will curve off and they wont break everytime they hit. Also when buying this you shouldn’t go to a sports chalet or other sports store. Go buy this at a paintball store because if you dont ull pay an extra $200 because at sports stores they are way over priced. Hope this helps. This will cost about $500 so be prepared. Paintball is really expensive but a lot of fun. So its worth it
Well first of here is a list of what you need to get started.
Mask, Gun& barrel plug if buying used purchaced seperately, Hopper, Co2 tank(and fill), barrel squeege, paint balls (some feilds only allow their paint on the feild though)
You may also want ,; spare o-rings,special clothing(ie.camo) includeing gloves (paint balls can hurt your knuckles), goggle spray and paper towel/Kleenex( looking through a smeared paintball mask sux!),team arm band and or air horn at some point
ALL this can be picked up as a PACKAGE DEAL.
I recomend a TIPPMAN 98 , TIPPMANN 98 Custom Pro. starter set.
( they are acurate, simple, durable and reasonably priced contain all you need and a spare O-ring kit)
(aprox. $248 as a package deal @ Canadian Tire.)
( there are lots of other brands ( JT, Brass Eagle, Pirhana, Spyder etc.) that also offer theese starter kits but it depends on $$$ you want to spend and how serious of a player you want to be.
All theese items can be purchaced seporately . Often theese are better gear selections but more long term $$$ investments..
Ok, just letting you know, Spyders are decent but break down easily. If you want to get a paintball gun for begginers, get a tipman ( found evrywhere!) but the ION is a starter gun and even good for pros. also need a barrel, facemask, air or CO2 tank and cleaning stuff. you can buy painball clothes although its not necceassary. mabye a sweater and some jeans( also gloves could help because handshot really hurt)
also a tip is dont be afraid to get shot. It’ll sting for a couple of seconds but will ear off and you’ll get used to it. Run as farthest as you can when it starts and hide and a great way to take out eneimies a distance from you is to shoot at there cover. Tey’ll hide while you do this so move up and shoot! Good Luck!
