Paintball

[ZANtehMAN!]

Hey Im thinking of getting a paintball gun over the summer. I don't really know much about it and am looking for a gun within the 100-200 dollar price range lower preferably. Anyone have any suggestions or even just companies and where to look thanks

tippmann a-5 is prolly the best paintball gun i ever had and it is very custmizable i actully have 2 of them one moded to be like a UMP and my other one has a longer barrel and is modded to be like a G36C

the tippmann 98 is also a good starter

the a-5 is 200 dollers and the 98 is 130 dollers

What do you play, woods or speed?

If you play Woods you're going to want a Tippmann, A-5 or 98 Custom.

If you play speedball(totally better than woods!) than you're going to need to get a pretty good electric hopper, a compressed air tank if you want a half decent gun, and the gun itself. Not to mention a pod belt, pants, mask, jersey, etc. Speedball is going to break your bank if that's what you're planning on getting into.

I used to play speedball.

ION
Freak 14" Barrel
Halo B hopper
500psi Compressed Tank

I suggest playing speeball for the immense rush but if you are going to play speed ball, you are going to covered in welts the size of softballs. Still fun though.

ya that's true in speed ball your going to get shot alot up close and get some nice markings because of it. when i play i usually play different secnarions and am always with the same team so most of the time i can go through a whole day of paintball and never get hit.

but that generally happens because most of my team has gone through combat training and we always use squad tactics.

There's a group of army guys that play where I play on a regular basis. My 5 man team owns all 15 of them every time lol. If we played woodsball it'd be a diferent story though...

i will probably be doing woodsball either at a place or at my house upstate thanks for the advice also what do i need like gas wise or whatever. I know at the place i can buy air tank stuff and balls but what about if i want to pplay in my backyard or something what do i do?

 

[Passerby]

well you can buy co2 but it not very stable if it's too hot out the best way is to just use compressed air i think the tank is something like 20 dollars and any paintball course or shop will have an air compressor to refill the tank which is usually free.

if you already got an air compressor for a nail gun or something like that it will work for the tanks.

can u put a double trigger on?

Get a tipman 98, Good starter gun, Between that range

Agreed

ya the a-5 and 98 can both have double triggers i would go a-5 because it such a good gun and very mod and upgradeable but the 98 is still an excellent starter gun and fits your price range better.

A compressed air tank is like $80 for the cheap ones, not $20.

Both are nice, cheap, reliable starter guns.

I could also point you to some nice masks for only like $20 if you need one.

I know the dealer of that store personally and I can have him email you if you want to know what kind of gun would be best for your play style.

tipman is a good starter gun

 

[TehLemur]

Tippmann is a great starter gun for the beginners, use compressed air, but remember (my philosophy) the best stuff doesn't win the battle, it's the heart that is put into that battle that shall win. Just get the essentials and run wild, and you'll do fine.

 

[Gunbowzer]

Get a Proto Rail or a Ion Both really good starter guns.(if you play speedball) But for woodsball have to go what everyone else is saying with the tippman 98.

I have an Proto rail '09 really good gun.
