Depends on site insurance - some wont allow players under 18 or 16.. a few go as low as 14

You need to check with site operators beforehand





This is the best advice here so far - If you are going to spend £60 anywhere spend it on playing gear like goggles, boots or pads or soft kit. Beg, borrow or rent a marker/hopper/air tank until you..

A/ Decide what type suits your game and budget

B/ Have some real income of your own to spend on the game

Paintball isn't a cheap sport/hobby to finance. Unless you have lots of spare cash or can find sponsorship, it'll be difficult to afford to play regularly - paint alone costs approx £25-30 a box. It's taken me years of graft to assemble the level of kit I now own, so don't expect it fall in your lap overnight. I didn't start playing until 1989 aged 25, but worked full time from 16 so had the £££ to afford it when needed.
Hi, The place i have played at says im old enough. :) and okay i will probably buy a set of vforce grillz. btw i have got a fair amount to spend already and im selling all my mx stuff so soon i should have about £230 to spend :)

can i recommend a marker called the smart parts vibe also known now as the envy , these are great markers , you might be able to find one very cheap !
and also when buying a marker check your site to see what they use to power there markers ! , some sites do not allow compressed air
thanks 4 the advice! do u know how much it would be for a second hand one?

i still firmly deny that spooly's vibe is still a vibe after his upgrades
