the tippmanns are the best for scenario play.  you can bang them up use them in the rain and all sorts of other bad conditions and they will still work great.

DYE has always made good barrels for Tippmans.  Not sure if you can find one under $40, though - perhaps used on ebay.  The best barrel I ever used on my old Tippman Pro-Lite was the original Smart Parts All-American.  The threading is the same as the 98, so it will fit if you can find one.  Very accurate, and pretty quiet because of all the porting.  \n\nSomeone will surely tell you to get a Flatline, and if you've never used one, the range you get will drop your jaw.  But they're not the most accurate.

well you could get a mini they shoot around 150. of course there are all pos's and will break immediately. for just screwing around in you're basement I'd recommend a tangfolio witness it cost about $18 and I've heard it's really good but i have no personal experience with it. if you want to go with a rifle/shotgun i recommend the UTG m87 theres full stocked, pistol grip, and one with a m4 stock. i would say go with spring powered unless you want to spend a lot of money cuzz any electric/gas gun you get for cheap is just gonna break. i know you just want to fuck around with something but don't throw away you're money. i started out with a mini from a flea market and i regret it it broke and is a pos. if you want to know any more about airsoft you can contact me at baconbits93@yahoo.com also a great website that i have learned a lot from is air softforum.com    http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/index.php well feel free to contact me and don't forget airsoft is a serious sport.

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

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.

The most effective with least cost and training is a single shot shotgun. \n\nThey can be had brand new for under 100 dollars, used for 50 dollars.\n\nAfter basic familiarization with this firearm you will be confident in its effectiveness and ease of handling.

http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=309\n\nit depends on what you are looking for in the gun.\nfor the money, probably the utg master.  the fps is better than the more expensive HFC, its not as powerful as the UHC swat, but is considerably cheaper. heres my analysis.\n\nUTG: 315-325 fps. $99\nUHC: 500 fps. $140\nHFC:280-300 fps. $105

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

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.

Hey, I'd recommend the TL-R. Very solid, very reliable gun. I have one. I went Paintballing with my TL-R it's very conservative on C02 so you won't have to refill for a while, it's very accuarte once you tweek the Hop Up a little bit and get it perfect. Go with the TL-R they're relatively inexpensive and they last a very long time. And If you're looking to spend under 300, I can sell you the TL-R, Redz Paintball Armor, Woodland Camo, Full Head Helmet, 10 oz C02 tank with a Buttstock, a Neck Protector and Gloves for 275. Give me an Email at curnuttematt@yahoo.com if you're interested or if you have AOL instant Messenger, get me at Spartan Airsoft. Consider that, you don't really need anything else after that.

There is no such thing as a 'best' paintball gun, since best means different things to different people.  Whether it is ease of matinence, high ROF, low cost, looks, or one of the many other things that should be considered, 'best' is realative to who is looking at the gun.  The main point being, unless you can say some of the major things that you are looking for in a marker, it would be hard to determine what gun is best for you.

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

The question is what kind of paintball do you play?  I would not use an a-5 for speedball becuase it is heavy.  But for woodsball the a-5 is a beast.  Tippman makes a fine marker.  The a-5 will withstand tons of abuse and keep on firing.  There are tons of modifications and its easy to obtain parts.  Tippman customer service is outstanding.  This is no disrespect to the Autococker, which is a fine marker.  I use a Smart Parts Ion for woodsball and scenario play, although this makes a decent speedball marker too.  The price is right and it has been a great gun.  I like it becuase it is relatively quieter than many other markers.  It is lightwieght and easy to clean.  My son has an Ion and an A-5.  His style of play is different than mine as he tends to like making noise and laying down paint as a heavy gunner.  He added a rotary crank to the trigger on his A-5 that pumps 7 rounds per turn.  The loud pop that this gun makes is impressive in iteself.  When opposing forces hear this thing spraying they move.  Those who dont get plastered.  There is also a custom marker called, "The Hammer".  It is 2 A-5's connected togther.  A crank pulls both triggers at the same time for an effective rate of fire of ~ 30 rounds a second.  It puts down a 6 foot wide spray of paintballs  ;o)    Its a bunker busting nightmare. \n\nIf you want a durable marker that is fun to use and has endless customizations get the A-5.  The price is reasonable and with regular cleaning it will last you a long long time.  If you want a marker that has teh best capabilities of both speedball and woodsball for $200 get an SP Ion.  \n\nIf your ever in Illinois and want to play a great paintball field try Fox Paintball.  But keep your head low or Ill find ya  ;o)

JT guns arent that good, I suggest a Spyder for begineers. But if you want a JT, Action Village is the best place.

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.  i have had people come up to me and tell me its like trying to kill the devil himself.  also if you have a problem you can simply take the faceplaet off and fix the gun even during a game. also it is tournament legal right out of the box.
