im not really sure what the conversions are from pounds to dollars, but let me try to help you out as much as possible.

There are several guns you can choose from, so your choice isnt an easy one. A popular gun right now (has been for yeras) is the Tippmann M98 custom. Its a very durable gun, you barely have to maintain it, and its fairly upgradeable. This is a great gun if you are going to be mostly playing in the woods. However if you are playing speedball, you will need a faster gun. A great beginner gun that has come out that is perfect for speedball is the TES. the TES built for the new player, but it performs like many of the tourny level guns out there. Another great gun is the Spyder Imagine. Spyders are great guns overall, the imagine, in my opinion, is the best spyder for the money. The imagine, like the TES, is electric, so you will be able to shoot a lot faster. These guns are great for speedball, but you can also use them in the woods. The only drawback to faster guns is that you will need an electric hopper to keep up with them, and you will use more paint.

Well i like the look of the "spyder victor11"
I dont know anything about paintballing, i just go to the club and mess around in the woods.
Would like to get a fast-shooter and one thats not to complex to use.

if u only have a 130 for every thing suggest a spyder semi auto marker. an xtra would be nice and then u can afford everything else u need.

Since U said woods Id go w a 98c. Its gonne last U a while and the first upgrade should be a new barrel.

[zak.davis]

Whats the price on that mate?

[PaintBallBob]

130 pounds is around 240 USD...

id go with either a tippmann 98c or a Spyder Imagine:

Tippmann 98c
PROs
-Durable
-Easy to mantain
-Upgradable

CONs
-Slow
-heavier then a spyder


Spdyer Imagine
PROs
-Fast
-pretty light

CONs
-a lot of recoil
-will chop without a VL revolution($45)

As has been stated in the posts before, the generalization is that tippmanns are better for woodsball while spyders are better for speedball.


---Tippmann setup---
Tippmann 98c($130)
Dye Proto switch mask($30)
20oz CO2 tank($20)
oil, squeege, ect...($20)
subtotal: 200 USD

--Recomended upgrades--
