Are you planning to play speedball or wreckball?

If Wreckball you can never go wrong with a Tippman A5, there are a million ways to customize it and make it a fun military simulation gun. (http://www.buypbl.com/en/paintball-guns-2/tippmann-paintball-guns/tippmann-a5-paintball-guns)
If Speedball you're looking for a gun that can shoot fast, accurately and in budget? I'd recommend going with something like a Proto Rail to start (http://www.buypbl.com/en/paintball-guns-2/proto-paintball-guns)

eventually if you want to move up, Dye guns, and Ego's are amazing.

I have 2 dm5's they run about 200-250 a piece now , they are great for a low price.

How deadly can frozen pain balls be?

depends if the target is armored or not.

Didn't read anything here but:
If you're new stick to woodball, it's a lot more fun and insanely more cheap

Speedball gets expensive and is kind of flashy and uncool imo

Just go with the classic tippman 98/ tippman a-5

200-250 its FREE for a good gun =) !

Like 80-85 percent of paintball is speedball and the amount of gear for speedball easily overwhelms woods
Speedball is pure action and you have to think and adjust on your feet

What's uncool is a single woodball match can last up to 2 hours
2 hours of sitting in bushes and camping
Sounds cool to me

yup !

For that price range, I would go with a spyder. I used an avant e-99 for years and dominated tourneys. Just mod it out when you get money coming in and you will be Gucci.
More the player then the gun though.
