what guns are best for woodsball.

Any if the tippman guns are good beginner guns. The 98 custom being the most common. If you wanna eventually upgrade it is go with the project salvo
Don't think woodsball, think paintball

being a hybrid player in my opinion the planet eclipse etha. but i have used nearly every marker for the last 20 years and its all what you feel good with regarding looks, weight, price etc. go to a walk on and see what others are using and ask to try. most players will let you have a test fire on the range (using your own paint). thats how i use to do it.
hope this helps

Tippmann A5 was my first marker, good solid construction and takes a beating good if you fall over a lot (lol) X7 is another good marker just dont bother with the e-trigger as it seems to be problematic and awkward or so my mate reckons with his! Etha is a good marker or perhaps get a 2nd hand Etek, doubt you could get a better starter marker than an etek if its cheap!
I'd thoroughly reccomend a Tippmann A5, first marker I ever had, still serves me well today
I always like to recommend getting a BT SA-17 with Rifle Kit. It's a pistol type of marker that can be converted to a more regular style marker with the Rifle Kit.
The reason I like it is because it's very reliable, easy to take apart and maintain, it's simple operation and the way it uses barrel inserts to let you choose the bore of your barrel. The reason it makes a nice beginner's marker is because at a later time when you want to upgrade to a different marker, you can always remove the rifle kit and you have a very fun pistol to play paintball in a completely different style. The barrel threading is autococker threads which means that any barrel that you buy for the SA-17 will fit onto the majority of other markers you may possibly own in the future.
So yeah, to put it simply: You get the SA-17, attach the rifle kit. Use that for a long time. (really simple but one of the nicest "simple" markers out there) ,when you upgrade in the future you detach the rifle kit, when you feel like it you can use it as a pistol type marker and have a lot of fun running around a heck of a lot and stuff and adopt a completely different playstyle for the SA-17 while keeping your regular playstyle for your new marker
