What is your xfire? I can write you a novel about Paintball. I was once sponsored at a time for couple of years.

dye matrix dont have xfire but u can pm though. just need 2 know the rules of the game an mayby also some links 2 a place where i can buy a starting kit. If i would like 2 try it out. Ive found 1 site but they only sell the gun thing not that thing 4 the bullets. And also that air thing if its air or gas or something thats mounted on the back of the gun

I never saw the big attraction with Paintball, but I do love Airsoft. I'm giving Paintball another try, though, so I'd like to hear your personal experiences, guys.

Im a big paintball fan, but my friends and I perfer woodsball to speedball. It's just way funnier sneaking through a large lush woods instead of hiding behind huge blow up obstacles on a small course.

The thing on the back/top of the gun that carries the balls is called the hopper.
Here is a link: (the top ones fine. They use at my local course)

You would also need a face mask - paintballs can blind.

Other things needed would be balls, clothing...
sorry about UK prices, but will give you a rough idea!

Very nice Artist.

As he was saying,

Essentials

Mask
you never walk onto a playing field whether you have a gun, or people are even playing or not without a mask on.

Marker (gun)
as a begginer, i would recommend Spyder, or Tippman, they are the Hondas of the paintball world today, while still being top pf the line) Range around a whopping $75-$1700

Hopper
A key factor in the game, hoppers varry in sizes from 75, 100, 125, 150, all the way up to 450 0.o in intervals of 50. Best hopper average is 150ct. Viewloader are known for being begginer hoppers, and are very reliable. Range from $10-$50 for non-electronic and $75-$200 for electronic. Electronic hoppers of today can range from 15-35bps (Balls per Second)

Tank
Your Co2 or Nitrous tank contains well, Co2 or Nitrous. Co2 being low end, and Nitrous being high. You will not need to use a Nitrous tank untill you get into the guns around $250+. 9oz, 12oz, 16oz, and 20oz. The 20oz tank is the best buy for the money and usually holds anywhere between 700-900 shots depending on the regulator on your marker.

i like playing paintball, and i can do it in my backyard because i have like 7 acres. but the people that use just one hopper of paintballs and no pods actually use skill, not luck

Yea last time I went people in my party (at an organised paintball place, with low spec set ups, single trigger guns etc) were spending £50 each on paintballs. I lasted the day on 220 paintballs (just over £10) and got the most kills of the day, 23. But at the end of the day safety has to always be your first priority.

 

[Gunny]

whoa 50 Pounds for how many paintballs?

 

[Nvader [JONES]]

I play on a sponsored team, and is mostly woodsball that we play.
here is a good site to find gear, friend, places to play, and all the stuff you will need.
