Thank you for the prompt response!
Searching at the net I have found out that BT's and Tippman's are the most "famous" at the web (at list many sites are selling them and one can easily find them at the web).
You are right, I don't want to invest in super-high quality equipment, besides the business is new. If it goes well, my first thing to do is to get a much better gear!
I will check out the above brands and see. Do they provide full-documentation so that I can easily replace damaged parts if needed?
Another question. When you say "scenario" you mean a "more-realistic-concept" in the field? (in this case we go for milsims) and speedball markers as in tournaments ?
I like the idea of the more-realistic-look battles but again, I want the players to be fully flexible in their movements (I really worry about the remote hose that mislims have, how easy is to move in the field).
Thank you,
George

To be honest, with paintball, the more you pay, the better quality.
At sites and commercial businesses where you pay to rent equipment, the equipment will be of bad and very cheap quality. So it all depends on how much the owner wants to pay to start up. (bear in mind the punters aren't going to notice the quality as they have nothing to compare it against).
So, from the owners point of view, they want to look for stuff that is easy to maintain and fix, and is rather cheap. Best markers to look for in that area are inferno markers, Bt's (like the ones in the package xdansomee pointed out) or tippmanns.
Goggle wise, JT do alot of good site goggles and most sites use JT's.
Hopper wise, a site owner will just want to use a cheap grav-fed hopper.
If you wanted to go for full on good quality stuff, you'll end up paying maybe £500 per setup. Whereas you could get setups for as little as £100.
The problem with the setup xdansomee has posted is that theres more than just that to setting up a site. You need chronographs, nettings, stuff for marshalls, land, etc. etc, the list goes on.
Oh and 'so, milsim are only good for simulating the real thing, but they are not as enjoyable as the standard paintball guns, is that what you mean?' No thats not what he means. Paintball is just as enjoyable no matter how good the gear is (unless you just plain suck) but £250 spent on scenario style markers would roughly equal £150 in sup'air/speedball kind of markers. Ie, speedball markers will have better performance but scenario markers will look cool.
