My friend wants to get into paintball and he wants to know a good gun kit that will cost him less than $100.  Any ideas?

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.

maybe the kid should get a better paying job then. He is better off saving up about $75 and buying the 98 Powerpack.

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.

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... I play every weekend.. and have two jobs... what I do for fun

Paintball is an expensive hobby. If he is thinking about playing regularly, then this is what your friend should get.
Everything you need to play paintball
Otherwise, he would be better off renting.

i have a pirahna and thats it...9oz Co2 also...thats all i play with...oh yeah and a mask...youre dumb and mean...go away...

oh yea,

sorry for making fun, had a bad day and it was no way to treat someone looking for help.  Look at actionvillage at the JT packages...those are pretty good deals and the guns wont keep breaking...tell your friend to have fun.

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.
