Default Paintball Marker suggestions

Hey,
I am going to be going Paintballing again, but not until March. I was wondering what is the best entry level gun w/ a decent barrel so I am fairly accurate. I also want the remote tank. I've played a few times before, and hated having the tank on the gun.

thanks and any advice is welcome

Spyder is a good brand

Remote tank? You serious :eh:? I don't think I've seen one of those before. I mean, I know those guns exist, but I've never seen one.

I have a pair of the first gen Spyders and they are still rock solid, I also played amateur competitions with them.

As rick said the Tippmann guns are excellent entry level guns as well...most fields use them as rental guns because of their reliability and ease of repair as well as parts availability.

If you are going remote tank than definitley get yourself a water remover thingy(god its been so long since I played I forgot the name of things ) because water going through the chamber makes for some interesting reactions from those hit......and you will be DQd for shooting a hot gun.

Thank you expansion tank was what I was trying to think of.

I run anti siphon tanks no matter what my setup is though....just a good precaution
