Paintball Gun Suggestions?

Question

So I've never played before, but myself and a bunch of buddies are going next month for the day to splatter each other.

Gun rentals however, at the fields around me are insanely priced, were talking 100$ plus for 2 hour rentals, I honestly can't believe them.

So I've decided i'm just going to buy a gun, this way I can go multiple times, practice at home, etc... etc.. and it only costs me once for the gun.

I'm looking to spend "MAX" 150$ on the gun alone.

Id really prefer a mechanical gun over supposedly the type i'm looking for is called a "blow back semi automatic.

If any experienced player has a suggestion on a gun fitting my price range that you'd recommend, that'd be great.

Answer 1

Tippmann 98 Custom.

Tippmanns are virtually indestructible, highly upgradable, and reliable.

They are simple inline blow backs and much more reliable that spyders.

You can usually get a used 98C package on ebay for less than $100 shipped.

Answer 2

if youre lookin around that price range then i recommend SPYDER. great brand for a cheap price. electronic and metal. not cheap plastic

Answer 3

If you can find a provider for .55 cal paint balls, I would highlyrecommendd the PMI Maxx55. It's chambered in .55 caliber, which you will be shooting at aaproximately 290fps, and the range and accuracy is better than a flatline due to the lower weight of the round. Another huge bonus to this is the cost. I picked mine up for $79 new, and paint only costs me $50/2000. A good deal all around, but not for everyone.
