what is a good canadian site to order a full setup from?

vest, gun, o2 tank, mask.

do sites offer any package deals?

what are the basics i should know when buying a gun?

not canadian but if i can offer any advice it be

marker - check *** unless you know specifically a marker that you want you can get a much nicer deal getting used plus you can get a more expensive/nicer marker for less than new off a site

vest - dont need its bulky and usless 4 or 5 pod pod pack will do paint gets heavy dont need to many

compressed air > c02

mask - sly profit is what i use dosnt fod easy to clean / replace lense

More information is needed.

Whats your budget? Is this going to be for speedball, woodsball, random shit in your backyard?

Whats your budget?

Don't get co2, go for compressed air. Cheaper to fill, easier to get filled, better on any gun. Etc.

High end guns won't allow you to shoot co2 anyways. I assume your new to the sport. Got any local fields or pro shops near you?

e/ dont get a vest, seriously. those are for pussies. if you want to play paintball, sack up that your gonna get hit and it might hurt a tad bit.

Well given one is a canadian site I'd assume USD vs Canadian dollars. The Axe is a good gun, and will allow you to have plenty of money for a tank, hopper, mask, podpack.

Plenty of tanks for sale, as stated above don't get co2. There are a variety of sizes, 45/45, 48/45, 68/45 etc, with the 45/45 being better for front/snake players and a big tank like a 68 being required for back players.


Check nation for a lightly used hopper, pack, anything else you need. I have bought and sold many guns, hoppers, tanks, barrels, gearbags, pretty much anything. Be smart about it, use paypal to be safe, etc.

Gl

actionvillage.com if you can use it

agree that is where i always used to order my paint online

its like free shipping on all orders over $100

If you want new, check out badlandspaintball.com - Huge Canadian retailer, use to deal with them for years.

Woodsball aim at tippman IMO especially for beginning - 98 custom or A5 will go through hell and back before breaking down.

Aim for a compressed air as mentioned by everyone else. 68/4500 will be your best option (most affordable if I recall) - First set of number is physical size, second number is your max PSI (how much you can fill the tank too)

Hopper for A5 comes with one specifically made for it. You CANT outshoot it and you wont have to spend extra cash on it. For a 98 look at a decently priced motor driven hopper. Don't use gravity feed, you'll regret it.

Again the reason I suggest Tippman is because of their quality and their price. Ontop of playing woodsball they are basically built for that. Also have a good amount of customization if you're into that.

Mask just look for one that has the anti-fog lens, no need to get the pricey designer ones, any with proper lens will do fine. I suggest finding a local store and trying a few on for best comfort.

Vests are meh. Learn to not use one imo. But there are options out there if you do require one.

If you need any extra help feel free to PM. Ran a shop for many years with my brother.
