The first peice of kit you should get is goggles.
A good set of goggles will give you an advantage on the field because they will be more comfortable than the renatal goggles and wont steam up.

Before you decide on what gun to buy, try out as many as you can. People are often more than happy to let you have a little shoot of theirs if you ask nicely.

Right guys the first thing you need is a good quality mask, then sort out what budget you have for a marker ect .there are plenty of people on here that will give you good advise weather its new or second hand gear you are after. plus there are paintball stores on here with some good start up deals.

Do you have a budget ???

If we have an idea of this , im sure many will be able to point you in the right direction..

If you are looking at a good start up package you will find everything you need from the p8nt sales section...

Do you have a budget, if so could you tell us?

im not too sure on a budget because i dont know what price to expect is £250-300 resonable of too little bearing in mind i am not entering tornemants (yet anyway) but i could go higher but i would haveto save up so if there is a good package for £300 but if not i would rather save up than buy a rubish one and regretting it.

My first kit cost me about £120 lol, but I did buy second hand... Couldn't afford new at the time anyway.

I would buy second hand if I was you anyway, because then you will have more money to actually play paintball

Cheap kit would be;

Marker - SP Ion - £50-£70. (£120 new, I think).
Hopper - Reloader B - £20-£40. (£70 new).
Tank - 3000 PSI - £20-£30 (£40 new).
Mask - Empire Helix - £10-£20 (£10-£20 new).

That would set you back between £100 and £160. If your budget is £300, that leaves you atleast £140 to buy other pieces of kit like jerseys, packs etc and some for playing.

Proto Switch- £20/£25 (and can add a fan if you like)
3000psi Tank- £40
Coming in at £300
