paintball gun question (to buy)?

For $200, i would recomend the spyder pilot. It is around $100-$140. Its is an electric marker and will give you a chance to get the feel of walking the trigger. In semi-automatic mode, it is capped at 20 balls per second. In fully automatic mode, it is capable of 13 balls per second. If you interested in dead acuracy, and about 5 balls per second, the Tippmann is right for you. Any tippmann is fine really. Hope i helped in your decision.

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

Well first, if your playing at a Paintball field owned and operated by someone your more likely than not going to have to buy the paintballs from them as many do not let you bring paint from home. Call ahead and find out what the rules are regarding bringing your own paint before you buy any and waste your money.\n\nPaintballs are sold by the case (2000/per I think, been a while) One case should be enough to get you through the day without having to worry about supply, you'll probably have plenty left over but thats better than having to conserve or worst case, run out. When buying paint don't be cheap, the cheap stuff will clog, burst in your gun, or not shoot straight and ruin your day, buy the upper range if your budget will allow it (paintball isn't a cheap sport). I'd do a search in your area for local shops or distributors that you can call and have them recommend a brand and type for you for best results. Have fun and good luck.

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.

it really depends on the area you are playing. i bought an automatic submachinegun that has long range, accurate, and power, but it's $300. if you buy the rifle, you should buy a pistol for back up if someone comes right at you. just e-mail me if you have any question

laser tag is always fun., but itll get boring. paintball will be hours of fun. unless u play a lot already. plus think about the price, it might be to expensive for laser tag because u have to pay for everyone, but paintball people just bring their own stuff right? i dono goodluck

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

get a tippmann 98 custom.  it it tourny grade right out of the box a,d you can customize it like heck and still have it ending up costing as much as one of theose autocockers.  i have one and ive got a flatline and a stock on it and i get superb performance out of that and the whole thing cost me around 250 after stock and barrel were added on.  the gun itself comes with a kit and costs around 170.  also they just came out with a loading system that is the same as the a5 so now its able to load the balls faster.  it is also a great gun because you can bang it against stuff and you wont break it in any way.  thats the one i recommend

i have a 6 years expirence of piantball and am now on a pro team but i mostly play speedball b/c thats were the fun and money is but woodsball is fun to mess around with but if u r looking to spend a little more money then i would get a Tippmann 98 custom and get an extension barrel b/c the stock barrels r wayyyyy to short now if u want to send 100 or less i would get the JT-USAtac-5 its a great gun but u deffinitly want the extension barrel on that it gives it a night and day difference when shooting long range

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.

It REALLY depends on cost, and if we're talking semi, or auto.  The Tippmann A-5 is about the fastest shooter you get for you money.  You also NEVER have issues with clogging with the A-5.

I'd say the Marlin model 60.You can usually pick one up used for 40-80 dollars.New they're about 150.

dont get a 98 custom, if you want one just get the custom pro because its the same as a 98 custom but upgraded.  you can also get an tippmann A-5 i have both guns and i love both of them they can take a beating and they are very upgradeable.

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)

Your best bet is to find a paintball store.  They will usually give you the best price on a gun, and offer free matinence or a store backed warrenty.  An extensive list of stores in the NYC area can be found at http://www.pbnation.com/fieldshow.php?state=ny.
