So, you spent 360 bucks on paintball gear and you've never played? Why not go rent a gun first to see if you liked it? Most likely you will be addicted

I know I will like it. I used to love playing Delta Force online and this is the next best thing. I spend 100 on a Pirranha, 160 on barrel and other accessories, and 100 on camos and other clothing.

ummm lets see if you say playing paintball is the "next best thing" to playing Delta Force online.

No game, no matter how much you love to play in on your computer will ever come close to playing paintball.


guaranteed

remember to keep hydrated (I ususally put a bottle of water in one of the carrier instead of balls, so I don't have to hike back to the car) and eat breakfast and also little snacks. take a banana or two bananas = the anti cramp (leg cramp you sickos!) pill.

that would be just the gun itself


my minimag was $900 once I was done with it. but I saved about $150 on the gun and about $200 on accessories because my friend worked for a paintball shop
