Just Starting

Hey, I just started getting into paintball.My brother was a professional player and he got me into it.I dont really know what kind of gun to start out with.Everyone keeps telling me to start with a Tippman but my brother gave me and Angel that he doesnt use anymore.And I want to know the best paint and the best gear to use.So if you have any helpful information about gear,paint etc. or actual game play please reply back I could use it.

Thanks

If you are just starting out I wouldn't worry about having the best of anything all you need is a good reliable setup and some field time. Honestly most new players don't last more than a season or two before losing interest or burning out and "the best" will set you back thousands. I'd pick up a decent mask like a Profiler, Halo Too loader, NxE harness and then a good quality HPA tank. Why not hit your brother up for some advice?

i disagree with craw, and will warn you to steer clear of his advice at all costs...




























lol j/k.. ask your brother if he was or is a pro player.. you should have all the knowledge you need just a phone call away instead of waiting for someone on here to find time to answer your questions! (not saying we're bad for advice!)

Okay, first things first...

1. Go buy a good, riliable, comfortable mask! Very important, you can't hit what you can't see!

2. Buy a good loader, the new empire invert too is extremely good and cheap. There isn't a pro-caliber marker that this loader won't feed. It's seriously fast and built on a proven design platform.

3. But a good High or Low Pressure tank. Very important, any good gun on the market will NOT run on CO2.

4. But a podpack/pants/jersey. These are the least of your worries, but it is nice to wear and carry your paint around comfortably.

Buy everything in this order, it is very important you do this. The fast gun will be pretty low on your list. Even a rental with a good barrel and a good hopper will compete. Just don't blow all your money on a super nice gun and put a ****ty loader and tank on it. You will hate it.
