Used gun for $250

Is it a good idea to buy a used gun so i could buy a better one or is it a good idea to buy a new one but not as good. Also what gun for around 250$ should i get? for no particular game mode i guess just for plain death match.
Or should i get a cheaper gun and buy some upgrades? anyway thanks for reading this and i hope u can help thanks

ok, so the same question

do you have:
-mask
-hpa tank
-hopper
-marker

if not, buy stuff, in that order, and see how much of a budget you have remaining.

halo too is outdated. get a invert too or a halo magna.

for 250 you could get a used mini, a used quest, a new E1

Dangerous Power F7 or F8
Invert Mini
FEP Quest

I would also like to say that getting your own mask, hopper, and tank will be beneficial in the long run, as all three of those only reach their full potential with a decent electronic hopper, and only run on HPA

Getting your own mask now is also nice since you can get a high quality mask that will not fog, be comfortable, and protect your face better

I like HuckDuck's consistent advice on buying other "stuff" when budgeting. Only addition I would make is new guns typically come with a warranty and may come in handy...something you most likely wont get with a used gun

Ummm, I would just like to point out that the Halo Too is the Invert Too, it's officially called the Invert Halo Too.

Magna is the Empire Magna, while it came from Halo technology, it was put out by Empire, who had acquired the rights to the Odyssey hoppers after Odyssey went out of business, but it was not marketed as a Halo (the main distinction being that Halo's used eyes (until the Too) and Empire Reloader/ReloaderB/ReloaderB2/Magna/Prophecy all use sound activation which is far superior).
