Lots of newbie questions.

[Effel]

1) Can markers use both Co2 and air, or one or the other?
2) is an '04 prostock good for someone whose used acouple of site guns?
3)Can bottles be refilled at diving shops?
4)What are the basic components other than the hopper bottle and marker?
5)Any decent walk on sites in manchester?
Thanks in advance.

ok 1) some can, but just use air, it's cleaner and won't break your marker
b) Yeah, cockers are great, and as you play more, you have the option of upgrading them to higher spec
3) Air bottles can, yes
4) Well on a cocker, like the prostock, you have these : the body, the bolt, the low pressure regulator, the 3 way, the 3 way arm, the trigger frame, the ram, the pump arm, the front block, the back block, the IVG, the hammer, the spring, the valve, and the ball detent. For play, i'd say you need a jersey, some playing pants, some pads (Depending on the surface) a pack, a mask, a fluffy stick and some pods.
5) Yeah, i think that northern quater is near manchester.

Cheers, ive got some old MX and hockey jerseys i can use, seeing about the JT nvader as a mask, any specific pod protectors?

 

[yorgie]

if by pod protectors you mean holders, i'd go for an NXe pack, they're pretty awesome, as for a mask, go for a proflex/flex 8 (both made by jt) they are nice, and relatively cheap.

I was thinking about the nether region, but those'll do fine as well.

 

[yorgie]

you don't need one of those. If you're scared about taking hits, think of finding a new hoby - like stamp collecting.

I dont want to get shot in the nads again, im fine with other areas. Would a cricket cup stnd the hits? Its definite as people seem to be deadshots for the bollocks.

 

[yorgie]

i've only ever seen one person hit in the pain zone, so you probably won't need a cup, just shake yourself off - no pun intended - you've got to man up to play paintball, it's like contact sport - a hobby for the daring i guess. Look into lazer quest.

 

[Effel]

Lazer quest? Pfft. I suppose ill have to find away of sacrificing my thighs for my balls.
