not everyone has parents like yours that are just going to shell out hundreds of dollars for a hobby, just so you dont throw a temper tantrum in the store. so shut up, and go get a life. |

hmm...tell him to check out Wal-Mart. when i first started playing that's where i got my first gun. In fact, that's where all my friends got their first guns. now we moved up to Tippmanns and Spyders and everything else. but Wal-Mart was a good place for a first maker until you decide wether you want to stick with paintball. if he knows he will stick with paintball, it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait a little longer to save up some more money and get a better gun. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

All of you who are bad mouthing the kid who wants a paintball kit for less then 100$ I hope you all Die or worse... At least he will play unlike 1/2 of you fools who remind of the football player who never played but tells of how good he is... Its a Shame that the rich control the sport and it isn't the skillful or the brightest... I Gurentee that the kid will have a 10x funner time then you guys with your 1,000$ Electros... I like to have people on my Rec. Team who just want to play and not sit there and whine and Cry about how there 1,000$ isnt fast enough... or the newest gun on the market... |

Some time it is the parents sometimes it isnt... It mailnly depends on there approval of the game and what they think of it... example my mom plays so she buys the markers but I have to pay for paint... -------------

Paintball is an expensive hobby. If he is thinking about playing regularly, then this is what your friend should get.

| i suppose if you're DESPIRATELY wanting a gun and pack under 100 bucks, get the VL Orion. most people say they suck, which i would kind of agree with, but my friend has one and it's not bad for what you can get them for. good luck. |

Hello? My friend just wants to start out paintball. I dont think he wants to spend $1000 on his first gun. Hes looking for a pack in the $100 range. Hes considering a Tippmann power pack. He has like $250 saved up and he could buy a spyder xtra pack, but he doesnt want to spend all $250 just in case he doesnt want to continue paintball. He can buy anything in the $100-$200 range. Please, constructive advice only. P.S: Retards like rockerdoode make fun of people who dont have the best equipment. I bet he still has a $20 paintball blowgun. ------------- ]

Has your buddy considered a Tippmann Pro/Carbine. There awsome
guns right out of the box and are quiet possibly the most
durable/reliable markers out there. You can get a decent setup for around $190 from www.countypaintball.com I actualy sold a hopped up 98c (MANY upgrades) to keep my at the time bone stock Pro/Carbine. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

They're not great, but for under $100 the Rebel line of markers could get you into the game. The cheapest ones we sell are $56, which leaves room for a tank and a cheap mask.
