Hello All. I'm new to the sport. Just played around the woods with my friends basically just shooting each other. So I have no experience paintballing. Any info will be helpful to me.

I own a:
Tippmann Pro-Lite
VL Triad
Stingray

first of all congrats. wlecome to the sport. I't sgood to know your'e willing to learn.

comments on your markers:
Tippman pro-lite..dont' let people think a 98c is a better choice..while it is more customizable, a pro-lite is just as good of a choice.

a triad? hmm, kinda cheap but it'll do the job for a little while at least. you'll probally end up selling it to keep the pro lite but have fun with it while iit's yours

Stingrays are very nice pumps good choice

now onto the helpful stuff.

when you're playing be sure to work together as a team..I can no stress this enough! there is nothing worse than a player who is unwilling to cooperate with the rest of thier team!

Don't be afraid to get lit up a few times either. you've played before so you know how it feels..doens't hurt very long does it? be bold, run to a different bunker when you need to and be fearless. When playing in the woods, be one with the trees and have a friend to accompany you so youv'e got two sets of eyes.

Dont' try to boss other player around either, nobody likes it when new players act like they know it all..this is the best way to loose thier respect. However this doenst' mean to never talk to them. Whiule you're playing if you see something that need t be brought to attention(ie: a player for the other team getting to a dominant spot) let your team know. The more helpful you are to them during the game the more they'll like you after the game.(unless your'e a dick..but we all hope your'e not)

I've heard from other people that I should replace the barrel on my Tippmann Pro-Lite. If that is true what kind of barrel should I get for it and how much would it cost for one. Also where should I purchase it.

My Tippmann Pro-Lite is the main gun I'm going to be using. So what all should I do to it?

[Phlux]

And also will it do my gun any good if I added an AK-47 Expansion Chamber?

I heard the expansion chamber allows the liquid CO2 to expand to a gas before it enters the marker. It will keep spiking down and the gun from freezing up.

Expansion chambers will do that. However dont get one for your pro lite. The valve inside it was specificly designed to run on CO2 so you should be fine.

Get a 14" JJ ceramic barrel. A logner abarrel doesnt make it more accurate. Quality of the barel and paintball size does.

www.xpaintball.com is your best bet.

Yes, Tippmann's are well known for being woodsball markers. Good Luck, you've gotten some good advice so far.
