try looking for a halo bsince they are really good and dont chop paintballs\nif not go with a gravity feed.  the middle electeronic ones will chop up your ammo

If you're new to paintball, stay away from the Ion and go with a Tippmann. Tippmanns are durable and very low maintenance. Plus they make tons of upgrades for them.\n\nIons are not a good choice for a beginning player.

Get a shotgun first.  There so many more things you can hunt with them.  I would suggest a middle of the road 12 ga semi.  The mp-153 is a good inexpensive gun.  Was made in Russia by Baikal, now it's owned by Remington.

I have an Tippmann A5, my son has a Spyder MR1 and just bought the Pilot.  He used it in our last match and below are my comments relating to it.\n\n1) It shoots too fast for a gravity hopper, you will need a good agitated hopper like a viewloader revy\n2) You cannot and I repeat cannot use Scorch or any of the Gameface paint with the red shell and pink fill...the rounds WILL BREAK in the marker and you will be out of the game\n3) Because of the e-trigger, you will need to balance the speed of the trigger ratio to the speed of the feeding hopper or you will have a ball break\n4) I really loved the trigger adjustments being on the outside of the marker...perfect when you are bunkered down, getting swarmed and need to switch firing modes so that you can shoot your way out....\n5) The outside trigger adjustment WILL GET YOUR MARKER BANNED on some fields...there are fields that will not allow this marker bc the firing rate can be adjusted on the field so fields that only allow semi will not let you out there with this gun...\n\nAll in all, I loved the gun.  Very reliable if you follow the above listed comments...

well you question seems screwy but I'll try to figure it out.\n1.  air and co2 are refilliable untill the tanks are too old. co2  tanks are cheaper but shooting air is better the velocity will not change as much.\n2.  (is the bottles of co2 or w/e are the better than electronic paintball gun triggers) have no ideal what that means???\nmany things depend on what type of paintball you wish to play (Speedball, Woodsball) electronic triggers can be good until you try to play and find out your battery is dead and you dont have another.\n3.  Muzzles on a paintball marker are mainly for looks as are suppressors but on a real gun the cause the smoke to be cleared away and to help in the flight of the shell etc...\n4. Max speed acurratecy? strenght  etc... all this comes from practice \n5.  low pressure chambers, expansion chambers allow the (air,co2) to expand and/or help regulate how much air you use for firing to keep your velocity the same..\n\nIm a Tippmann fan Excellent Quality good for Woodsball good price and upgradable.  Speedball my son has a shocker and he can shoot faster than any full auto and its never broke down...\n\nany more questions find me\n\nwww.texasghostwalkers.com            \n                                 The Silencer

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.

There are basically two types of electric hoppers. They solve the problem of balls getting stuck before going down the tube in non-motorized hoppers.\n\nThere are agitators and there are force feeders.\n\nAgitators have paddles to rotate and disturb the balls so they have a good chance of feeding from the hopper to the gun. It's a system reliant on gravity to feed the paint. The speed limit on these is 13 balls per second.\n\nForce feeders have paddles designed to shove the balls down the feedneck. This allows the paint to be fed into the gun much faster than gravity can. These are usually the higher end hoppers.  They generally feed about 20 bps but I believe some can go up to 30 bps or more.\n\nBoth types usually have sensors to prevent the paddles from spinning excessively.\n\nThey don't necessarily use paddles. The Halo B uses a drive cone and a hopper by Extreme Rage has some weird funnel kind of thing (I would not suggest that hopper).

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

the tippmann 98 custom is the best because it is designed to be accurate on all fields. I have one and it has 150+ accuracy right out of the box. i added a flatline barrel and i now get 300 feet of accuracy.  also you can customize the tippmann 98 to fit your style of play.  one other thing you can customize the heck out of it and end up with a gun that can take out the highest priced ones for half the cost.  that's why its the best woods ball gun. also you could compete with the best if you got just the flatline barrel because you hace very good accuracy

The Tippmann is better. They make a multitude of upgrades, they're easy to maintain and they're tough as nails. For $250 you can get the gun, mask, tank and an upgrade or two. Or you can pay $199 with the $20 rebate and get a Tippmann A5 which is a REALLY great gun. If you play woodsball, this is THE gun to have.\n\nThere are so many things you can buy to mod these guns. There are no cons to owning a Tippmann.\n\nhttp://www.actionvillage.com

paintballgear.com (or ebay if you dont mind used stuff) is my favorite places to buy markers and accessories. you cant beat the prices there and i've always gotten my order in under a week. im hesitant to buy paint online though bc you never know how old it is

i used to be an sporting goods manager at kmart and i would suggest the daisy red rider as a starter. very easy to use and is not to powerful. always have adult supervision to teach responsibility of the firearm. later on i would suggest a benjamin pellet rifle. benjamin is quality.

if you're talking about a gun, it's almost definately a smart parts ion. they are low pressure guns which means no (or small) kick, and you can keep your tank when switching to expensive guns. paint, is really accessible for anybody, but the one's i like are premiums. as for feeders, i would save up and get a halo because they are extremely fast and have high capacity.

Yes.  If you want to get the most out of your RT, you're going to need a powered feed hopper to be able to up keep up with the feed demands of the high fire rates of the RT.  I would also recommend that you look into getting a "Warp Feed" for it as well.

my favorite in a handgun has to be a ruger vaquero 44 mag now i also like a colt commander in .45 acp. in rifles i buy cheap but what is cheap?im not going to purchase a kimber nor a weatherby. to much cash for a gret rifle and if it has that great looking barrel etching and the stock engraving why bother?i would probably be looking for anything that would scratch the rifle and harm the wood instead of hunting.i buy remington with the carbolite stock i have a few in the 700bdl and i dont have to be worried about marring the finish or scrstching the stock.a new custom stock for a 700BDL in the .300 magnum is roughly 359.00 but you add s/h to it will be over 400 bucks.this is a price from cabelas

first of all i recommend you get your own gear.  the gun for everything you Will ever want to do in paintball is the tippmann 98 custom.  for around 500 dollars you can turn it into a machine gun.  next you need to get barrel for it and depending on your style of play you could get the flatline barrel which adds an extra 100 feet of accuracy.\n\nnext there are many games you can play withyour new stuff.  you can play capture the flag , elimination, capture the fort, or timed games.  pretty much whatever game you want to play you can do in paintball\n\nfinally there are only a few rules since youre not ggoing to a field  do not shoot anyone within 6 feet, alwasy ask for surrender within twenty feet ( you can shoot them if they say no), never use frozen paintballs or marbles because they can and will send people to the hospital  thats really everything you need to know but heres a few sites that might help
