true.. although, start with the basics and work up.. get a mask and marker... then worry about clothing ect.. and as for magfed.. you can get a brand new hammer 7 for just over 100.. and pistol second hand.. but true it is expensiveWell all I can say is I have actually recently help get some one in to paintball and he said strait away that from watching what goes on in magfed games that's what he wants to play but setting up fully as every player knows is an expensive business, from goggles to boots and then your marker/gun it all adds up.
