Hiya, where do you live? People will be able to give you better advice if they know your location.

£1,500 is probably too high a budget to start with. You can get some fantastic paintballing gear for less than that and then use what is left over to get in to training and tournaments.

Yeah best bet like Syd said is to find people nearby, just hang around with a nearby team do some training with them but don't get hung up on spending all that money on starting up, set yourself a smaller budget and just see how things go really and hope you enjoy the sport as much as the majority of us all do

Just one tip to be made. from my experience dont buy a brand new gun. look for a decent year or two old one second hand. Can fnd some good deals if you look around. good luck bud.

i have some stuff for sale if you need anything.

people will tell you to start with ions and such, yes, i'd reccomend this also, but if you can spare a bit more, might aswell start with something a little better, rather than spenind money on a gun then a new one, which the money you didn't need to spend could go to games/paint!

have a look around, see what you like then just ask for peoples advice/opinions!

dont expect to join a team just like that, buy some gear go play get better then have a look for one

ok mate, try remove all the prices out of your post you will just get spammed and ripped off, basically spend your money on training and paint, get a starter marker and work your way up

Two words of advise, try before you buy, and research what you are buying so that you don't get ripped off.
