The setup he told you would be about $500-600, but with what you have there are many possibilities. I would look into a shocker ($800ish), a HALO B ($100), and a 68/4500 tank of some kind ($180). But for that kind of money you have alot of options so you could also look into angels or timmies too.

You're new to paintball, so therefore get an Ion, a 68/4500 HPA tank and a Halo b hopper. Also look into barrels and packs. Don't get a gun above 400 since you're new at paintball.

Yea, I would do something like youngguns said. You also might wanna get pants and a nice mask too. If you get the halo b you might wanna get one with the angry board. I know they sell some already installed on ebay, don't know where else though.

***xch1p*** · June 4th, 10:35 AM

also i heard u can configure youre boards on your hopper and what if the hopper feed rate is to much is there a speed config

**mavsfan31** · June 4th, 10:52 AM

I have a grav feed hopper, but I don't think it matters if you can't outshoot the hopper.

**Mangobutter** · June 4th, 05:41 PM

well if you have a nice board you can config dwell, debounce ect. if your a first time player... i woulnt spend 1200, you wont know how to use it. the highest i would got is as young gun said with an ion, good fast, not that terribly expensive so if you find out you dont like the sport, you didnt just waste a crap load of money

June 4th, 06:26 PM

Ion, reloader b, 68/4500 fiber wrapped tank. After you get that you need a good mask. Don't go cheap on this. Get some JT Proflex's. Welcome to the forum.

**CH4OS** · June 4th, 06:32 PM

you dont wanna drop 1200 dollars on your first marker.. get an ion with hpa tank and empire b...

he's new and you would put a shocker in his hands?

get an ion, halo b and a crossfire 45/45 tank or 68/45

***paintballer4e*** · June 4th, 06:36 PM

i heard the ions are good

Theres nothing I hate more then a n00b who spent $1500 on a marker and they have to ask me how to turn their on/off on.

Get a beginner gun, put that money in the bank, play for a few months, THEN, buy a better marker.

exactly

***xch1p*** · June 4th, 11:52 PM

i already know what gun im going to get ima get either a SPyder Imagine emarker with halo b and some bottle thats ok or and angel with evolution 2

hopper

***Dodge This*** · June 5th, 11:30 AM

DO NOT GET AN ANGEL
Since it's your first gun go with the Imagine. If you don't I'll come hunt you down.

***xch1p*** · June 5th, 11:43 AM

hey dodge this ya right i was handling an angel at operation paintball and the guy who owned it was giving me a lesson for 6 hours and how to config it and stuff so i dont think ull hunt me down im joining the sf hornets so i would like to see u try

***Dodge This*** · June 5th, 11:49 AM

Wow dude I was being sarcastic, calm the **** down. Anywho...

Angels are HORRIBLE for beginners. I don't care how long your lesson was. A spyder or tippmann will be best for you as a beginning marker, it doesn't take as much maitnence (sp?) and is cheaper.

**Cockerkid63** · June 5th, 12:37 PM

Jesus christ, both of you STFU, Dont go with an angel for your first marker, go with a lower end gun, like i said before, a Spyder Imagine, Reloader B, Barrel kit, Tank.
