be ready to spend some money.

I played tournament paintball for awhile and its expensive.

Even just playing around with friends for a day. Takes about a case of paint. your gun probably half a case or so.

Any question... let me know?

yep, fun but it gets pricey. If you have people to play with semi often its great though. I havent played in at least a year just because I can never find a big enough group

we get like 15 guys to a private field up in cottage country, they let us get wasted and play.

>>Free air and suits.

just pay for rounds + rental of a gun.


Hopefully ima test my gun out soon. :)

it's a spool-valve maker designed for speedball. pmr stands for proto matrix rail, its one of the cheaper markers that dye manufactures

The reason your gun doesn't shoot straight is first, it's not the greatest gun. Second, make sure the bore of your barrel (.689, .692, etc.) matches the paint you're using.

Check by taking off your barrel, sticking a ball in the back and tilting the barrel to see how it rolls. You should have to "spit ball" it out with a little force, you don't want it to be too loose.

PMR has already been explained. They can be found dirt cheap on nation and are great starting guns, easily upgraded with bolts, UL frame, whatever you desire.
