I want to purchase a paintball gun. I've been recommended buying from tippman.

looking to spend $150-220


first thing is.......

tippman 98


or

tippman A-5

then from this site, which gun?...

Lemmie ask you this, how many times have you played paintball?

Most times, people play once or twice, and get a feeling like they absolutely love the game. No doubt, you probably are fascinated by it, because, most people are.

The thing you have to think of, is that, its really really expensive. $50 to play if you dont shoot that much paint, $100 if you are harsh on paint.

Then with the gun, the hopper, the tank, the mask, the clothes, it can really add up.

Take the time to factor all of that in before you really decide to spend all this money on the sport

With such a low budget, the $150-200 range, it seems like money is going to be a key key factor in how often you play.


~~ Now lets talk guns

If you are going to play a lot of woodsball, the A-5 will suffice. The Tippmann 98 will be a small step up from a rental gun.

Feel free to pm me any questions

im aware of the other expenses, but i manage money well.

could you recommend a specific model?

do you play in the woods, or do you play airball, with bunkers and stuff?

i'll probably start playing in the woods, then move to speedball fields

like i said

I=noob

but i want a diverse gun

Well I recommend this gun then. It is a very very common gun, is pretty hassle free, and versatile.

If you navigate the site, you will find all the specs, and possible upgrades.

Before you make a purchase, make sure you go to a local shop and shoot it first.

$299? thats too expensive for me.

i want to stick to the tippman

How you gonna pay for a $50 mask then? Or a $100 hopper? Or a $175 tank?

You cant spare $75 for the most important part of the set up?

Or i can get one of the most reliable guns for $100 cheaper...

Tippmann is reliable, sure. You wont get more than 9 bps from it though.

Remember playing with a rental? It didnt shoot very fast did it? You saw all those rich kids with a gun that shot epic fast?

They didn't use tippmanns.

A tippmann is barely above a rental gun. shit, i know places that use tippmanns as rentals.
