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. ------------- Donny Cisneros |

I'd go with a Custom Pro RT or E. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

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

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.

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. ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">

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. -------------
