Hey, if you're new to it, i'd suggest getting a second hand gun, and research up on stuff as much as you can when you get it!
I recently bought a second hand angel from this forum, so yeah go check out the For Sale section in this here forum. Im sure all the great guy's here will be happy in giving you some tips when buying a second hand gun. Make sure the member selling the gun is being vouched for though, you don't wana buy something of someone people don't know or don't trust.
Just to note as well i payed £100 for my second hand gun, which is a freaking bargain. So yes, to be blunt. For first gun, buy second hand, get the feel of it. BUT shop around, if there's any stores near you, or paintball centres, go there, talk to people face to face. Ask if they can put you into grips with any guns. you want to get something you like, not any piece of poop.
Ofcourse if your one of those kids who's gotta have everything brand new feel free to rake out over $1000 on a new Angel 1. lol.
