    yes its a lot more than 200 if you want even a medium level gun
    of course many paintball places offer group rates where you can get a gun, 200 rounds of ammo and saftey equipment for only about $25

    you can always rent...
    you can get a decent package (Marker, Goggles, CO2 tank) for less than 200 bucks...
    Paintballs are never included, expect to pay 25+ bucks per 1000

    not true, and level of the gun matters little if you suck :laughing:

    I am not sure what he has, but my friend has a sniperscope, a laser sight, and an extended barrel on his. He snipes all the time, and another one of my friends has an M16 replica paintball gun.

    Thats an expensive thing... (also Laser sights are forbidden on most fields)
    it always better start with the low end, non expensive stuff..

    I want to play, cause the people I know, just run up and shoot, except for a few who snipe, and they snipe in gay places, such as in open fields.

    what I really want is a self de-fogging mask, that would come in real handy. I used my hockey mask defogger and it didnt work that great.

    Saw many times... atleast one player was so angry that he picked up a stone and crushed his intimidator :laughing:
    its not the marker that scores, but the player.
    a well placed shot will always beat a sprayer.
    hell ive seen players with a pump action BE taking out intimidators...

    you can put a fan on the mask, but you also should use certifed for paintball masks, defogger sprays.

    a fan on the mask? really. intersting. As for the defogger, it said to only use a certain kind but I figured it was just a marketing gimic. guess not

    yea the fans dont appeal to me personall, but i do have a friend who has fans on his mask and he swears that it works. IDK, i dont need masks anyway because i dont do alot of running unlees its a short sprint. I prefer to ambush someone when they think they have the upper hand. It gives you a good sens of satisfaction when you see some one with that shocked look on their face. Anyways, i think that any marker can beat any other marker, but some of the higher end guns have toomany little piececs that have a tendency to break more often.

    Playing without a mask = severe retardation. I hope you enjoy your eyes if you're going to do that.

    Let's place playing paintball without a mask under the 'General Bad Ideas' category.

    As an example of what can happen if you play without a mask
    No mask No play

    Back a few years ago, my team and a bunch of friends were kind of skirmishing at night around my cousin's house. One of the...friends...decided that he didnt like his mask fogging up, so he took it off and was running around out there (unknown to all of us) with no eye protection. Needless to say, when he took a paintball in the face directly below his eye, he decided this may not be a good idea.

    If you value your vision, always wear a mask. This SHOULD be a no brainer.

    Yes, tippmans are always reliable, you could even check out an a-5, (tippman), thats what i have, low maintence, and relatively good performance if youre looking for a starting gun.
