Looking to get first gun
- Thread starter alex-nash
- Start date
SLG is a solid gun. Accurate, reliable, easy to strip etc. It's a great starter gun. It's great for both sup air and woodsball. Before buying a marker however I would suggest purchasing other equipment first. That is if you don't have it of course. I'd suggest buying the following before a marker.
» Mask ( E Vents, Grills, Profilers, Flex etc)
» Pod Pack / Battlepack ( Cheap nxe 4 pod pack from bzpaintball.co.uk for £12 is brilliant)
» Gloves ( Your Choice )
» Protection ( Your Choice )
» Camo or Pants/Jersey ( Your Choice )

If you're not bothered about getting it second hand, you could get an Etek on here.
If you want a new one, like you said the SLG UL is a great marker. Guessing you were looking at this? or JCS Sports are doing an offer for the G3 with a mask, hopper, air tank and a battle pack for 330 at the moment.
The G3 is easy like a Sunday morning to maintain
id personly prefer to buy a mask new, so a flex 8 or 7 would be a very nice mask, and for about £40 or so,
you can get a second hand steel air bottle in the classifed for around £30 (depending on how much life it has)
cant go wrong with a halo or reloderB, there about £35 or so second hand i think?
soo, we now have £205 for a marker, you could get a very nice PMR for that, an etek, shocker, SLG (second hand on the classifeds)
the best way to decide is to have a trip down to a torny or walk on, and ask some guys for a try of the stuff. or my personal favourite, a trip to BZ and spend about 40 mins trying out/on everything they have in stock

Or for a even better look at whats around, NSPL on the 20th and 21st of june in reading there will be lots to see there.
Thanks all may well do that. Unfortunately reading is too far for me to get to but thanks for the offer durajim. I may go down to a local paintball centre and watch and see how they do it! Thanks far all advice and i may well buy second hand as i have seen some fantastic offers on the for sale forum.
Thanks
