Yep thats about sums it up...also wear clothing you dont mind getting tore up....paint, mud ect.... and long sleeves.......maybe a hat for your head...some paintballs are hard when they bounce off your head LOL!!!

^^QFT.

When (if) if you get more advanced, you can upgrade your equipement (like barrells, hoppers, etc.) Its not needed now, but will be in the future if you get more into it.

Welcome to the sport

Cool gift. Best advice tho is kick that quantum to the curb as soon as you can afford a revvie. Welcome to the world of paintball....prepare to spend money.

so i got the CO2, what do i need to do to have the gun work?

[r3dt@rget]

Screw the filled up C02 tank into the thing below the handle until its tight, put on your hopper, put paintballs in the hopper, cock the gun, turn off the saftey, and your ready to go... doesnt have to be in that order of course

[ost]

ok, so the tank is in...but nothing is really happening

[r3dt@rget]

cock it back, and pull the trigger

[ost]

i cocked it...i shot it...and the ball came out after 1.5 seconds after i pulled the trigger

[r3dt@rget]

Ok make sure your tank is filled up and make sure its screwed in all the way... You should hear a spppsssshhhh kinda noise.

i agree with the dont shoot the cat part. but i have litteraly painted a squirl it was so funny seein a yellow squirl

when you screw it in, put your hand on the expansion chamber (big thing that the metal tube is going into,you hold onto it when shooting) and squeeze it. Screw you co2 tank in. it should make a ssssshhhh sound. Also, the expansion chamber will get cold at first b/c of the co2 going into the gun

If youre having a delayed shot, make sure your co2 tank is screwed in and filled.....
