My very first gun was the VL Orion, which I got for about $50. However, a Spyder by Kingman can also be a good choice. Then buy a 12 oz. CO2 tank and a JT Spectra or something that won't fog up.

Tell him to get a 98c. If he can't afford it (with the gear), then tell him to get it used off of Ebay, you can find em' cheap.

For $50, there really isn't too many great choices, but check out the SP progressive, or maybe a Custom Products barrel, as they're pretty good.

My advice would be to tell him to return it and order this off of Action Village: Tippmann 98 Custom Power Pack for $159.00. |

Hmm...I'm not really sure. If I were him I'd just keep the marker stock. Let him play with that for awhile and he can save for a better marker and gear while he plays. I really wouldn't recommend putting a lot of money into that marker. Let him play around with that for a year or so and get some experience. Then he will be ready to upgrade and he will have saved up enough money.

He can't get himself 20 bucks? What ever happened to earning your own money? My parents buy none of my paintball crap. |
