you need practice. i hope when you played on your buddys field his field had a good air bunker set up. playing air ball is a different sport then playing any other type of paintball, especially if your just messing around with your buddies. i played woods ball for about 2 years, than spent about 600 on new equipment once i started playing airball. you must have good equipment, it wont be worth it to go out and get dominated. i hope you have a high end electronic marker with high pressure air. your also going to need electronic hoppers, and most of all, you need to have a harness. you must have atleast enough paintballs for about 3 hoppers full. no use for a front man or back man. you from man will get shot and your backman will get cornered. naturally you guys will be in different positions in the fron or back of the field. if you want to win, take it seriously. I have been playing for about 6 years, and play against Dynasty weekly. Dont be surprised when the guys you play have the best equipment. Lots of people you play will have the top of the line equipment, and it IS a big advantage, next to experience.

It really depends on if you are playing woodsball or speedball.  I personally play speedball and use a smart parts Ion.  its about $200 and it is the best marker on the market in that price range.  The only thing you would need to upgrade would be the regulator (get a CP), maybe the trigger (also CP, but you don't have to, more of a preference thing) and get an electronic hopper (a grav-feed won't keep up with 17 BPS).  If you don't like how it looks, you can get a body kit from several manufacturers (I like the punisher and new designz ones), or you can just change the color with a smartparts body kit.\n\nIf woodsball is more your thing, get a 98 custom or an a5.  You can change those things into whatever you want, add cosmetics, a response trigger, flatline barrel, etc.  The best upgrades for those would probably be the flatline and response trigger, but they might set you back a bit money-wise.

I gotta go with the first one.  I forget the name, but it was designed to mark cows.  It started the sport...that's pretty important!!\n\nI gotta give credit to the orignal Spyder.  While crude by today's standards, it definately brought paintball to the masses.  It was cheap and reliable.  Without the Spyder, I'm not sure paintball would be half the sport it is today.\n\nAs far as the most advanced... well, I'm poor and never had the priviledge of shooting high-end markers.  So, no comment :)

I actually have two barrels and recommend that everyone with an A5 have more than one.  I do this because you might not play the same position all the time.  There are times when your playing suppression fire and a flatline (about $100) will give you the range you need but you lose accuracy and then there are other times that you will want to play mid or attack and need the accuracy...for that, I went with a Smart Parts 14" barrel and I typically like to go with a mid-grade paint due to the extremely fast firing rate of the A5 (I have an e-trigger)...you could bankrupt a small country firing premium paint with an A5 + e-trigger set-up

All main stream paintball markers will shoot .68. Unless you want to do get a one made for military training which will then be hard to repair and you will have to special order rounds. If you are just starting out I recommend a spyder or PMI paintball marker. If you need more info look on pbnation.com there are many pro and company industry reps on it if you need help or advice.

Check your phonebook for 'Paintball' and also do an internet search for stores near you.  A list of stores and fields in Indiana can be found at http://www.pbnation.com/fieldshow.php?state=in most of which, will fill HPA.

I would think about anywhere would work man.  Most places sell them for only a couple bucks in bulk.  Could probably pick up all 30 for about $5 - $10.\n\nJust google search paintball.\nI would recommend the following places though:\n800paintball.com\n888paintball.com\npaintball.com\nxpaintball.com\n\nHope that helps.

You could get a decent beginner package for that much at many retail stores, such as Dicks or Wallmart, but to get the most bang for your buck check online sites for used, or refurbished products.  At www.actionvillage.com, you can get a Spyder Imagine, an excellent electric gun for a beginner, for $75 because it is remanufactured.  Also check out the Buy/Sell/Trade section of www.pbnation.com.  There are many good gun deals available, including used Tippman 98 customs, arguably the best beginner gun, for $70.  There are also many other guns for sal, I myself am selling a mech Spyder, CO2, mask, and several other accessories for about $100.  You can also get tanks, masks, and almost any paintball related item that you want on there for well below retail price.  Also, check your local proshop, they will usually have good deals, and be more than willing to help you.

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.

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

If you are going to be playing paintball I would find a .68 cal marker. At this time it is pretty much a standard for most fields. Also there are many different types of paint made for it. \nFor now I would try to find a compittion paint most of the time they tend to be more brittle. Keep in mind though the thinner the shell the more breaks in your marker. Take your marker to a local shop and have it tested to see how fast it shots. The Max is 300fps most fields like to keep them around 280fps.

a tippmann 98 custom because you can turn it into a mega gun for almost half the cost of the big ones.  plus it is tournament legal right out of the box

Definately a Smart Parts Ion. UNfortunaly you will have to spend a little extra to buy a nitrogen tank because it wont run on CO2 but it is by far the best investment i have ever made. I started out with  Tippmann 98 custom and it was a great marker but it is definatley not fit for speedball. The Ion can be used in any game type, from playing in the woods with friends to competitive tournaments. I currently use an ion and i play on a competitive team and it has held up extremely well. It is one of the best markers for the price because it can keep up with the guns the pros use but it doesnt cost $1200 like theirs do. There are literally hundreds of upgrades you can get for it so as you play more you can upgrade different things as your interest grows. It is an electronic marker that runs on one 9V battery, and shoots fast so i would also reccommend an electric hopper. I know its not cheap altogether but it is very much worth every cent. Paintball is an expensive sport, you wont be able to get much for under 200, well nothing quality anyways. I would check out the different ions u can find on ebay because they usually go for a good price and come with upgrades. The Ion can be found at any online store as well as any paintball field or store in your area. if you have any questions about the Ion feel free to email me about them.\n\nthe best site i would look for an ion on would be http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/BrowseCatalog-Start;sid=mQit93P1plKt7TaVBK9tX3lTi8qk60cpAqk=?CategoryName=paintball\nIt is an incredible site with great pricesand a huge selection. the page for the different ion packages they have is here: http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/BrowseCatalog-Start;sid=mQit93P1plKt7TaVBK9tX3lTi8qk60cpAqk=?CategoryName=paintball-paintball-guns-smart-parts-paintball-guns-ion-paintball-guns\n\nI know its more than $200 overall but you should really consider this gun, it might just be the best decision youve ever made, i know its one of mine.
