New Player Questions!!

Hey guys, im new to the sport but eager to lean and become involved.  I just ordered a gun and package off www.paintballonline.com i got a custom98 tactical gun with platnium package.  Was this a good choice?  What are some begineer upgrades that i could get ( esplain what they do) what size paintballs should i get and any other things i should know about the sport.THanks!

money isnt a issue, is the flatline hard to install yourself, and do u what i bought was good and are all balls the same size and do they fit all barrels

if u have anymore questions just ask and u should get some answers

Welcome to the fourms

where can i get all the stuff u mentioned

you dont need the lp kit to run nitro on your 98c it will work just fine with just a HPA tank.

you can get all this stuff at any paintball website: paintballgateway.com firstcallpaintball.com actionvillage.com ext. or at a paintball store, online is your best bet for a cheep price though

Dont forget a new helmet. Im using a Vforce Morph and I love it. Also get a pod carrier that will hold a tank, get yourself a remote line then.

Getting shot in the tank sucks, and with a remote you lighten your gun allot!

Try you local paintball shop first, going to an online store wont save you too much after you pay for shipping. But if no are stores near you then online is your best bet. I have some links at my site, come on over and visit the weblinks section. Just click on the link under my sig pic.

**edit. realized I didnt have the most common places people to go when buying on line, Sorry about that I added 888paintball.com and countrypaintball.com I will get some more up soon. Sorry about that.

you can find some of these upgrades on this website, just go to accessories and you can find most of those upgrades if not all of them, or you could go on www.paintball.com and clck on shop online and you will find a list of differnet sites that are pretty good you can check. i have no other advice since i still consider myself a newbie( i havent had my gun for a year yet)

A remote is a black coiled tube that is connected to the air adapter at the bottom of the pistol grip of the marker and the other end of the coiled remote, it is screwed to the co2 tank and also theres an on/off valve.....look at the pic below

Jus PM me if you need more info on the remote line.

As fer the Stabalizers, you hafta ask them die hard speedballers that question.

Screw the flatline, if you're going to invest in all those preformance upgrades, get a better barrel. That flatlines has range, that's all. Less accuracy, and even at far range it's a lot less likely to break on someone. And you can get paint to fit it or it won't shoot right, so it's not the best for consistency, and won't run as low of pressure.

Also, I'd get a high output tank, no need for a low one, it's too close to the operating pressure of a LP 98 that you may experience drop off.

And don't forget a Halo and double trigger.
