1. Get a mask first; Start with your head! It's the most important thing!
V-Force, Vents, Empire, Invert, Dye Proto and JT Spectra all make great masks

2. Get a hopper; a good hopper will last you your entire paintball career without needing to be replaced with "something better"
Look into the VL Eye-Force and the Invert Too

3. Spend your remaining money on a gun, field fees and paintballs!
With a conservatve estimate, that leaves you $150 left for your gun. Look into Spyders; cheap, reliable, light, small, easy maintenance, modddable

I would get a spyder like Azn said. I have an 07 Spider Sonix, decent gun for the low price. The 09 is even better, has a metal clamping feed neck, as opposed to the plastic crap. That's a good reason to buy that one.

As for good accuracy, that's hard to achieve when you have to play under 300FPS. Quality paint balls and a longer barrel(16"), are the best you can.

Every marker have to shoot to the same velocity, so they all have the same range. I agree that a Sonix 09 is a great beginner marker. Is under 300$ your budget ? Because in the 200-300 range, you have plenty of choices alot better than a Tippmann 98c or a spyder Sonix...

I've only been here for two days, but something tells me you have a thing for Spyders.

Either way, QFT.

If you don't want a Spyder for whatever reason, check out the Azodin Kaos or the Azodin Blitz.

There's also the Worrgames MG-7, but I'm on the fence as to whether it's a good gun. It's another option for you to consider, though.

Nope, don't get it
The only new thing that WGP has released that's worth looking into is the Autococker SR

tlmiller seems to like it, and I trust his word

Well, trust Azn then. I only got to test fire it on a range.

Yeah,the low end spyder clone WGP products were REALLY low quality. If you're going with a sear tripper, stick to Kingman or Azodin products.
