I had big ideas of what my first marker would be. I had about 800 dollars worth of stuff picked out. Turns out, after I played for a while, I changed my mind. I would have had 400 dollars of crap in a box I don't use.
Get your A5 with a E-Grip. Play with it for a while. See what works for you and what doesn't. ------------- United States Marine Corps.... When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight! Just say NO to junk mods |

| Hi and welcome to Tippmann. About the only up you may want to make without playing a bit with it is a barrel. Even then you need to know if you prefer speedball (a 12"-14" barrel) or woods sniper stuff (a Tippmann Flatline) and the choices are pretty extensive even then. I know I'm a big help but better to take your time and do your homework then end up with $200 worth of upgrades that you end up changing. |

yea, thats the only thing im worried about, liek what if i dont use all the <poopy>i get, and as you guys said, $200 dollars wotth of stuff just lieing around, i think one of the things is was gonna get and probably use would be the double trigger, cause it looks sweet, andi feel that its way easier to shoot then a regular one finger trigger, i was thinking of buying th flatline, but the one thing is that its alot of money, so yea, once i get really good, i might be saving up for that, and what do u mean speedball, is that just the barrel? remember im neww, uve gotta speak my language <please watch your language> ------------- Guns dont kill people, well i guess they do but, umm, yea i dont knwo where im going with this so im gonna stop |

Alright and another thing im thknking is, is a tippmann a good choice in a gun, from what ive heard from everyone theyre amazing, good performance, excellent durablity, but im just thinking if its a good choice compared to other guns that cost 512 dollars, so, which kind of guns des everyone prefer? ------------- Guns dont kill people, well i guess they do but, umm, yea i dont knwo where im going with this so im gonna stop |

| What are you spending $512 on? Tippmann's are excellent first guns. Get the A-5 and a standard barrel and then play for a while before upgrading further. Good luck. |

| It is fairly easy to get things off of ebay, you have to be at least 18 though. You fill out a paypal account with your credit card information and when you buy something, it will ask you how you want to pay. It will automatically take it out of your account. I just searched paintball and then there are different catagories. I needed a revvy, so I clicked on "loaders and accessories". Just do a bit of searching, and you can find pleanty of stuff for cheap. I got a brand new black revvy for $20. Sometimes stores overstock and they have to sell them cheap. |

| Just remember to look at the seller's feedback. If they don't have that great of feedback, you aren't going to buy it. You might get screwed on a deal you thought was good. |

Just put that you're 18. I'm 16, but I have an account. It's not like they check. |

Well if you are 14 and don't have credit cards or a checking account, it is a little hard to buy stuff on ebay. |

| If it was like that, you can contact the person who sold it to your brother and get a refund. If they won't you can contact the people that run ebay. |
