Found a tippmann 98 custom for 25 bucks. Picking it up tomorrow... so hopefully that happens. lol

Then all I need is one for my brother and probably accessories.


Any good suggestions for CO2 containers, hoppers, helmets, or any sort of extra thing I should buy?

Anyone have any options?

I'm probably getting a flatline for barrel. And these...

http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Energy-40020-Empire-20oz/dp/B0008G2WAW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1403104982&sr=8-3&keywords=Co2+tank Cheap and great reviews

http://www.amazon.com/Wrek-Elite-Premium-Count-Paintballs/dp/B005MJCJ9Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1403105122&sr=8-3&keywords=paintballs ( good reviews, cheap price ) -- not trying to be serious so cheap balls are fine with me

http://www.amazon.com/Paintball-Pack-Harness-Coiled-Remote/dp/B001G2NN3W/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1403105603&sr=8-17&keywords=paintball+accessories With the tippman I bought today, the guy had a harness that holds 3 pods, so I may not even need this. But I wanted a hose with the Co2.. So that'd be 50 bucks together anyways. So I might go with this.

Not sure what goggles / helmet would be best for a cheap price. Still looking into a lot of stuff tonight. Will be purchasing most of the stuff I need tonight.

you dont need a hose for co2
extra money that doesnt need to be spent

just get the essentials and any extras should only be acquired to improve the gun itself
gun
mask
tank
hopper
harness w/ atleast 3 pods

then only extras you should get is
better barrel
better hopper
larger capacity harness
better mask

no idea why ud want more weight on your body
your arms will carry the weight and if playing woodsball youll probably hit instances where you'll rest the weight of the gun on the ground or ledge or something or a tree
you need your leg/body strength to move freely

I bought the package because it came with a harness and 6 pods, with a CO2. The hose was a nice extra. I don't mind weight on me, my job is continuous lifting and moving heavy objects. So I'm a bit built.

I also bought a set of O rings, the guy I bought the gun from said it may need new ones. Then I bought a flatline barrel.


Total for everything (with gun) was $125.

I'll get a mask later on when I have people to play with. For now I'll just shoot it around.

Thanks for the help!

Np
People can be built or not
Extra weight on the body is extra weight on the body regardless of strength
Whether or not you can take the extra weight, your body is still losing energy faster than it would without the extra weight and it limits your movement/body shifting when you need to

You don't need alot of arm strength in this sport
You need as much energy as you can. Timed movement, position shifting, and stamina is what wins you the game. You don't have to be a good shott but if you move correctly and position yourself well, it doesnt really matter since you'll be laying it down range anyways
I'd say play without the hose. Keep in mind youll also be carrying the harness and pods filled with paintballs as well

I'm not ganna read a what's been opted but if your still searching for a gun I'd suggest spyder imagine. I bought one and if I'm not mistaken it shoots like 12+ balls per second. Then buy a 25-30$ halo automatic Hopper to feed the gun more bps then your gun shoots. I have had these for 5+ years and on the special occasion I do go balling I do pretty well. Just work on your trigger finger and walking the trigger and your good. Spent about $100-$120 on these 2 items.
