Well a me and a few of my buddies figured we try and take this up jus to screw around. But we decided to get serious with it and hope to continue doing this. not gonna be a one time thing. Well we found us about 10 acres of woodland and are gonna start playing on it. We havent bought anything at all and are just looking right now. We are hoping to go out and buy basicaly the same gun and all. We have about 20 people wanting to play and we were gonna do a basic capture the flag type games. I want to know what gun would be best. We are hoping not to go over about 150-200 a gun (cheaper the better customize later). I was lookin at the 98 custom at academy that comes with the gun, a mask, 12 oz tank, and a 200 round hopper for $168. is that a good deal or do i need to keep lookin?

That is a great deal.
You should have fun with 20 of those.

Make sure you can play on that land.

Not bad, But I would recommend the a5. But then again, you are just getting into it. What kind of mask, it is very important not to get stuck with crap like "extreme rage", go for vforce morph, excellent quality for a good price. That is a decent deal. I say go for it, You cannot beat a tippmann for a new player, because if you break it, you know tippmann will back it. Good luck!

Yeah it seems to be a good deal, better than buying online, your tippmann wont break, but it is good to have a store close to you that will service your gun etc...

I am sorry, I cant make out what you are trying to say...... If it is the new scott mask, cannot remember the name though, It is a good mask. Other than chopping paint, the worst thing out on the field is when your goggles fog up. Check www.pbreview.com for all the reviews you could dream of. It is a great site to get reviews on alot of paintball products. Good luck.

another question is what about the different barrels i can add on and the stocks. I was lookin at the 12" sniper barrel for mine to add on. is that any good? or do i need to look at something else?

Who makes the barrel? You will also need the tippmann 98 thread. Stocks are a waste of money. 14" barrels are the best lenght for both speed and accuracy.

tippmann makes the barrel i was lookin at it on this site. Im just starting out but i wanna get ahead of everyone else. U think stocks are a waste? We are probably gonna end up playing for money and stuff so we its gettin more serious and serious day by day. We are hoping to get real tactical with this. But i dont know what im doin soooo..............

It's agood deal but before you buy it I would make sure it's a 98 custom and not a 98 because you can't upgrade the 98 that much

Since your buying so many, see if they will give you a deal, or throw some extras in. I highly reccomend the 98c to new players, very durable, and you can upgrade it later with something like a response trigger.

Im not sure, Ive never dealt with them. But I know when you buy real firearms for alot of money, you can wield and deal with them easily.In your case your spending over 2 grand, so they better throw something in, if not just tell them u will shop somewhere else.... if your serious enough.

Well make sure all of you have the money, because you dont want to start making deals with no money, yoy may end up with nothing. I think once before I saw on some website, a bulk order of guns(the more the cheaper) and I believe there was around 20 or so. However im not sure where to find them, maybe someone else knows. It must of been to start your own field.
