What to buy for starting paintball (decent budget)?

Question

Ok, so I am going to try out paintball soon, but just in case I like it, what would be the best stuff to buy with 320 dollars? I need gear, as well as the gun and upgrades and such. This doesn't count the ammo though.

Links to websites as well as gun recommendations would be great :) Thanks.

Answer 1

They have "kits" you can buy at Wal-Mart that are actually really good, I got my kit there

basically get a full head helmet (getting shot in the back of the head=bad), an automatic paintball rifle, a top feeder (they dont hold near enough pellets on their own), and a barrel cleaner...

here's a link

Answer 2

Do NOT buy stuff from WALMART!!!

Get a tippman A-5 or 98 Costume  from action village

Answer 5

Tippmann 98 custom.

It is the most common paintball gun on earth. What makes it so popular is that it is extremely customizable.

What I would reccommend to you is that you buy the stock gun and the bare necessities to play (mask, co2, squeegee) from an ebay auction such as this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Tippmann-98-Custom-P...

You will have a good amount of money left over. After you play once or twice, you will have a good idea of what upgrades you need. If you want to shoot faster, get an electronic trigger. If you want to be more accurate, get a new barrel and a stock. etc.

This is the perfect gun for beginners, and with enough upgrades, the perfect gun for pros too.

If you want to take it one step higher right off the bat, than you can buy the tippmann a5, which is the next step up from the 98 custom. If you decide to get this, get the flatline barrel with it. The stock barrel is terrible, and the flatline makes it one of the best guns out there.

This is a full package right around your price range. I have been playing for many years, and I can tell you that this is the best gun I have ever used.

You can't go wrong with tippmann.
