Hey guys, my name is Adam Crofts i'm 18 years of age. I live in england. I go paintballing around once a month but im looking to play it more seriously. I don't have my own marker yet but am looking to invest in one.
I don't know what to look for in a gun, or how to upgrade it. Im looking to spend around £200-£300 altoghter for a package.
If anyone can give e an insight in what to look for that would be great and also please leave links to cheap websites.
The markers i have curtrently been looking at are;
Spyder vs2
Promaster
diablo
I have had my eye on a wgb Karnivor. 2nd hand on ebay currently at $280 i thought that was a bargin as ive seen it up as high as £1000

Look at a Planet Eclipse Etek Ego for that price. It will be on the higher end of your price spectrum, but it's a very good gun. Also, the Invert Mini and Dangerous Power Fusion are nice, but they're not really in the same price/performance range as the Etek.

The Etek is about $600 (for the gun) in the US. They typically tend to be more expensive overseas, so you might have to look around a little bit for a store that will ship to the UK.

Eclipse is based in England, it should be less expensive for him.

there are man guns in that range. ion/epiphany/SLG/PMR/F8 and many others. any of those would be good, but I ranked them from the ones people hate the most to the ones they hate the least, though all perform well(and yes I have shot all of them).

Lot's of people don't, so don't feel dumb. And it's not exact, but that's an easy way to find the number at the very least.

does actionvillage.com? you might have to order direct from the manufacturer, or just go to a website and put in your address and see if they process it.

I thought that the ETek was only around $500? Even so, why pay that much for a brand new one when you can get a LNIB ETek for probably $350-$400?
Croftsy: That setup will be good enough. It's not as good as an ETek, but it will do fine. The EOS is rumpred to be a very nice marker.
