ok so i am new sort of and ive been paintballing 3 times and im rdy to get my own gun cause my best friend and i wanna start going alot more and he has a gun. id like a good gun that has good power and accuracy. i am more of a sniper type of player, ussally i conserve my ammo and take shots only when i see someone or covering. so mabey something with a long barrel might help accuracy idk im a noob in this. anyways it has to be 280 fps or lower and semi automatic not auto, most places round here make those the rules like skirmish. i have 200 to spend and i would like to get a hopper, mask ( less fog one), a condom or plug, and tank and any neccessarys other then those too, so not too expensive. please help me find one.

o and if you could make it green i love green but its not a biggy

and i was looking at some guns and you can get sniper barrels seperate so if you kno a good combo for that im open to suggestions

**crustybug** · January 8th, 07:02 PM

like, are you talking woodsball? if so, for 200, id say get a tippmann custom pro, because its alot more upgradeable than the regular 98 customs now. aftermarket is everywhere, so you can always upgrade from stock. take a look and see if you like it.

Cypros · January 8th, 07:09 PM

yea more woods type of playing like you know towns and castles and things like that mabey a little speedball but i dont like that unless i know my team will rush with me instead of hiding the whole time.

"A longer barrel does not help your accuracy"....cahnt that to yourself over and over again until you remember it.

Also: chant "There are no snipers in paintball"

If you want accuracy, go with a MAXIMUM of a 16" barrel. The 14 would be better. Try a kit like a freak thats insert based. Look for the thread i made about blowback upgrades.

Cypros · January 8th, 07:48 PM

i cant find that thread sry
and that sentence try a kit like a freak insert based i dont know what those are and cant find one on any paintball sight by that name

**txaggie08** · January 8th, 08:14 PM

spyderand clone upgrade Q&A

Cypros · January 8th, 08:18 PM

yes thank you very much do you have a recomendation for a gun? and do you know where i can get a freak insert based kit?

**paintballkid320** · January 8th, 08:29 PM

you could get it online at places like www.actionvillage.com and www.anythingxtreme.com

id reccomend the tippman 98 custom with maybe the freak kit (although i would reccomend and All American for woodsball, and a double trigger for the tippmann

**kenny_1491** · January 8th, 08:33 PM

yeah get the tippman custom pro, double pro an upgraded barrel(freak, ultralite if they make them in tippman thread, J&J ceramic). and around a 20 oz. tank, I don't know about you but anything smaller thne that feels like somebody is trying to stab me in the shoulder.

**paintballkid320** · January 8th, 08:36 PM

and if u want co2 tanks i got 4 lying around i could sell them all to you for 20$ and shipping

Cypros · January 8th, 08:43 PM

idk, they don't have eyes if I remember correctly. just stick with the aa5 we know they are good.

Cypros · January 8th, 08:50 PM

the aa5 what is that?
how about this one

**kenny_1491** · January 8th, 09:00 PM

I meant a5, that would be good 98 customs are made by the same company that maks he a5, tippman, so it is bound to be durable as hell

**paintballkid320** · January 8th, 09:01 PM

thats a good one considering if you got a tippmann a lot of people would say to get an egrip

the custom pro is a good gun for woodsball
but u said u only have 200$ to spend
thats 219$ there and you got about 100$ worth of other stuff to get
hopper mask tanks and pack

i think

http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...YAAAELoq6yvLAd would be a good package for you
and then you could get

http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...8AAAD3G0ClA_2t as your hopper and youd be all set

Cypros · January 8th, 09:07 PM

on the custom would there any way to reduce hop up and mack it more accurate cause at my paintball fields those are the ones you rent and the hop up is horrible they curve everywhere.

o and i can spend more then 200 that was just a estimate, i have around 300 plus my ps3 fund, which i can cut into, but that wont be for a while and ill get a job soon

**paintballkid320** · January 8th, 09:10 PM

yea new barrel usually fixes the paintballs curving up

shiky · January 9th, 12:04 AM

arite dont use the term "hop-up". i see that you've just converted over from airsoft, paintball guns dont have a hopup. the rental guns do that because they are dirty. try ebay for a cheap 98c setup, or even a smart parts ion would work for you, and is in your price range. but above all, check ebay. you need a package yes? gun, tank, mask?

**the_real_kaz** · January 9th, 12:21 AM

i wouldn't go Ion. Your playing woods, and you don't want to spend a lot for a pricey comprsded air tank. A Stock Tippmann A-5 would be a good buy for you. It comes with a fast hopper, it is really realiable, upgradable, and it will cost you around $220 for the gun and hopper.

Cypros · January 9th, 07:02 AM

now what is the difference in electronic guns and regular guns? is electronic automatic? and if i get a automatic with a semi-auto switch will i still be allowed at fields that are semi-auto only?
