a vs1 is alot better choice for that price range.

Yea i was about to get the "sniper" package too but just stick with a vs1 or the new pilot for a bit more.

should i buy the 16 inch barrel for the vs1? and will it increase the range? and what barrel?

[Db0ne]

A 16in is sometimes good for woodsball for different reasons but range isn't one of them. But if your planning on playing different types of paintball go with a 14in, like everybodys been saying get the J&J or CP =)

Yesterday i went on craigslist and saw a lot of markers.im new to paintball and ive never played on a official field but i have played. i just dont know much about the guns. i dont know if the markers on craigslist is any good or not.

Craigslist is great but always be prepared for the markers to need some work. Sometimes you will get lucky and the marker will be like new but other times a kid could be trying to offload something he destroyed. If you want to know if you are getting a deal feel free to post up the ad here and someone will tell you an approximate value.

ok thanks. can i get a list of recent guns that are good that i should look for?

[trueshot]

is the vs1 good for range? were should i buy it? and were could i find a 14 inch barrel for it?

Range is all the same paintballs are always subject to velocity restrictions so a paintball shot at 280fps will go the same distance no matter what marker is shooting it. You can buy a VS1 just about anywhere Spyders are as common as sand on the beach that is one of the main reasons I don't like them it seems like everyone is shooting either a Tippmann or a Spyder.
