spider is a good one and 98 custom is very popular gun. i have one and i love it. the 98 custom u can change the size of the barrel and also make it look like a m4a1 aka colt carbine. the top of the line guns/markers r bob longs and angels. they have the best accuracy and firing speed but they will range from like $1000-1500+. and also u have a choice of wut gas to use. u have a choice between co2 (carbon dioxide) and also nitrogen. nitrogen imo shoots the paintball faster. u can also have a battery operated reloader. last i checked they were like 35-50. always remember to clean ur paintball gun after use so the 'dirt' from the paintballs doesnt get stuck in the chamber and not shoot.

Think about it as if you were buying it.  How much would you be willing to pay for it?  Don't get outrageous with the prices because most everything is probably used!  Good luck and have a lot of fun with it.  I am having one pretty soon!

The Firing Line or The High Road are good forums for general questions on darn near anything gun related.  Almost any popular brand has its own forum on top of that if you just do a quick search.

to begin a little history. paintball was first played in a field in new hampshire.  themn a few years later some companies invested in thge budding sport.  now there are teams and world championships. it a great american sport.\n\nGetting into the sport\n\nall you really need is a lightweight long sleeve shirt and some jeans. maybe a cup. The gun you ll want to buy ins the tippmann 98 custom because its the only one you ll ever need. you can customize it into a mega gun and take out the highest priced ones. Also it costs 170 dollars for the stock kit although i do recommend getting the 20 ounce tank when you buy the marker. Its around 25 dollars. the paint is where it gets expensive even though it costs only around 130 dollars for the best paint you continually have to buy it and you can only use each paintball once. so don't bother picking them up off the ground. then there's the field fee. it varies from place to place so i cant put a concrete number down. anyways That's how much it costs to get into paintball. \n\nMaintaing your marker\n\nAfter each game you need to run the squeegee through the barrel and remove as mich grout as you can.  also you need to oil your gun regularly so it wnt wear out the o-rings as fast.  some guns need maintinence almost after every time you play.  others like my tippmann 98 custom are low mantinence. thats one reason i chose the gun as my first one.\n\nTIPS\n\nwhen beginning stay in the back and watch and learn from other people on the field. also observe opposing movements.  this is how i learned to play and i got real good real quick.  as you get more experienced youll learn where the best bunkers are and how to stay alive throughout the game.  \nyoull run into markers that shoot faster than yours eventually. to combat these look for a small opening in your defensive wall and shoot through there it is very hard for even the most accurate guns to hit you there. when you are not being fired at look for a position to move up to. having the best field position in the game is vital to winning.  thats all you need to know about the game.  HAVE A GOOD TIME PLAYING!!!!!!!!!

Well it completly depends on how you play, and what you budget is, if you a teen like me, and want to play in local areas (backyard, parks) I'd go with spring, don't get auto because they don't really shoot very far or hard, at least if you don't want to pay 200+bucks. spring guns shoot a lot harder, but you have to cauk them each shot, but at least you can hit somebody further than 20 feet! I have a shotgun that I bought on ebay for like 15 bucks,it shoots pretty hard, and you can cauk it really pretty quikly and easily because thats where you put your hand, rather than somewhere near the stock where you would have to almost put the gun down to cauk. Your gonna want at least 230 fps (feet per second) If you wanna hit more than 20 feet. My gun is 300 (so it says, i doubt it)and can shoot about like 30-60 feet i think. but i would go with 270+fps. ok there, thats all i know. by the way ebay sellers make the price on the item like 2 bucks, but they charge like 15-20 for shipping, watch out.

There is an ebay type web site called www.golfclubexchange.com.  New and used gear of every type.\n\nAs far as quality brands to look for, Mizuno MX series are a nice oversized cast cavity back with a decent offset to assist a high handicapper with keeping the ball in play.  Nicklaus golf has some less expensive sticks that hit well too.\n\nMostly you just need to get into the shops and swing everything that you can get your hands on.  you'll find one or two brands that feel better than all the others and those are what you need to buy.  So much of the game of golf is mental, so finding a set of clubs that feel good and look good at address will definately take strokes off of your score.  \n\nDo Not!!! skimp on your putter.  I have so many friends who will spent $400 on a new driver, but have a $30  putter in their bag.  Putting is the key to lowering your handicap.  Don't be afraid to spend some dough on a quality putter.\n\nGood luck,  and enjoy the game

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

Everyone I've ever spoken too who got the idea into their head to make their own table have always come to the same conclusion...not worth the effort.  Pub-sized tables are cheap and readily available.  Just buy a good one from your local billiards retail store.  Cheers.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Wow, you have quite  a collection! My humble cashe contains A M38 Swedish Mauser, A Iver Johnson made M-1 Carbine & a FEG made Hi Power clone. I wish I had the $$$ to buy more stuff. I've got a wish list that includes a 1897 Winchester Trench, A Semi- Auto Ohio ordinace made 1918BAR copy, and a Fn FAL. Your right about expanding the shooting section beyond hunting also.

Go here, then search for airsoft. Some of their stuff is at good pricing. What you may do, is get something cheaper, and start save the rest. Just add to it when you can and eventually you'll have enough to buy something nicer.

p99 is by far the most comfortable pistol for me, it comes with 3 backstraps so it could be for you too. Glocks are butt ugly, IMO. Thers also a site out there that did 200 yard+ tests with the p99 (9mm, DA) and it almost outshot a full body 1911, beat the crap out of a glock 27, not quite what youd use it for, but my p99 is on its way and i should get it soon. YAY

It's hard to say because everyone likes different features. But I'll give you a link where you can go and get reviews on just about every single paintball product out there. \n\nI just picked up an Odyssey RPM on ebay for $100 and that was a great deal. Guns with the kind of features this gun has go for $250, easy. But do some research and see what you might think will fit you best.

YEA 98 CUSTOM STOCK TIPPMANNS ARE THE MARKERS UNDER $400. AND I PERSONALY LIKE THE SYPDER XTRA.

I would suggest a gun show or from private parties.  Whenever you buy a gun, insist on a receipt with the gun's serial number and the selling parties personal information.  This is for your protection if the gun is stolen.\n\nIf you're looking for a gun for self defense, you may want to do some research on caliber sizes. A .22 caliber isn't the best choice for self defense.  But it's a great gun for target practice and learning how to shoot.  It's also great for hunting small game. One of the most fun guns to own. It just doesn't have the stopping power needed for self defense.\n\nGood luck!

i do paintball and its an awsome sport.  its so fun because its got an adrinaline rush to sitting out in the woods not knowing when you might get ambushed.  its really cool and it helps you with your seeing and hearing senses.  a usual semi automatic gun thats sturdy (depending on where you buy it) can cost anywhere from 75 to175 dollars and thats for the viewloader to tippmann range the next range is pretty much 200-1000 dollar range.  i also suggest getting an airsoft gun to practice

youre not gonna find many pumps out there.  most of the time you will find a good semi-auto for around 100 to 200 dollars.  i personally have a tippmann 98 custom qhich is like a recreational god becuase its so cheap, durable, and you can upgrade it to your style of play.  to start off the gun costs between 150 and 170 dollars, depending on where you get it.  second you can bang it up dunk it under water, and possibly run a car over it and it will still work like new.  as far as the upgrades, you can turn it into a gun that can compete with those freaking expensive guns for around 300 to 400 dollars including the kit price even though it is tournament legal out of the box.  i put on a collapsible stock and a flatline barrel which increased my accuracy and range 10 fold.  when i finished with it i will have a nitrogen tank (it can run on nitrogen without mods) a cyclone hopper or a halo b hopper, an electronic trigger, and a remote line or drop forward.  the tippmann 98 custom is the only gun i have ever needed because of that.  oh and one more thing.  you can field strip it and fix it in the field meaning you can take the gun apart and fix any problems while in the game.  hope you find this helpful.  have e great time playing

like they've said you're not going to get anything that strong or that durable for that low of a price. when it comes to airsoft  you get what you pay for. you're very seldom going to get any stock (unmodified) airsoft gun, you'll have to upgrade it and the only guns worth upgrading are gonna be over 2-300 dollars.\n\nairsoft is not a sport for those looking to be cheap and play it well, you're going to need to break the bank like it or not to get anything nearly that good unless you are extremely lucky and find a used gun like that on ebay and even then it's going to be 1-150 dollars.\n\nmy suggestion personally, save up and buy a good gun for a few hundred bucks or switch to paintball, it's cheaper :P
