Rent one. If they have a choice rent a 98C with R/T or E-Bolt. Ya need to rent a few times to see if ya like it, then buy a marker, and all the other gear, mask, tank, hopper etc.

If this is your first time, I would recommend renting one from the field you're playing at. This way you can make sure you like the sport before you invest a couple hundred dollars in it.

I'd go with a Custom Pro RT or E.

Rent first to see if you like it. My sister made the mistake of buying everything and going. She decided it hurt to much.

Can i rent one for more than a day? I would totally rent an A-5 or 98C.
Whichever SEEMS better. Where do u rent them? Or do i just use them in
the fields for however long i'm playing.
once i said during a thunderstorm "if im a noob at paintball, then let me be struck by lightning in 3 seconds.
"1..2...." then i saw a bright light and everything went black.

you rent them from the field you are going to play at, if you are playing in the backyard with friends just borrow the stuff you need for the day.

I played with a friend once and he was having to stop every round and clean that stinkin'barrel on his A5. So, I would at least upgrade to a better barrel first.
