Well, I have spent around 2 grand on kit so far and I have only been properly playing for almost a year.
Damn new and shiny things!
..... but I can't resist

Question to the Brits...Do u guys have any BYOP nights over there??****, here in the States Tues,Wed,and Thurs indoors we can bring our own..Saves me tons of money...Case of Inferno $67 2x a week = $132...Play every other week so thats $264 a month...Probably wouldnt play as much if we couldnt bring our own as they charge $100 bucks a case if its not BYOP....And whats your entry fees over there..Im trying to figure if its that much more expensive than over here...Try to put in American dollars as this Yank aint to keen when it comes to the British Pound or Euro's..

is this me or is that NOriginally posted by QuackingPlums
So is paint stupidly cheap in Brum or have u like, only been twice?!
I've been playing punter days for the last year and a half, and spending up to £180 a time on paint alone... I guess the investment in my own marker is gonna pay for itself in no time if I start attending walk-ons instead...!
not like 6-8000 balls?????? on one punter day????dear god man, u must be a BAAAAAAD shot
Expensive sport...
It's even more difficult trying to afford paintball when you're a poor student with no income! Thank the good Lord for my more than generous sponsors!
But then again, if i didn't spend what little money I have on paintball, I'd be a full-time cider drinker. It's good that I'm doing something a little more 'constructive' than that!
I feel the money I do spend is justified when I come off the field with a huge, beaming smile (not-often admittedly, but sometimes!).
In my opinion, alot of people can only afford to play as a result of people selling old kit on and replacing it for newer, shinier goodies.

No I have a habit of losing them. I think the last one was lost up the last person's arse who slagged of angels
Come to think of it we have it easy. If you were into Garden railways you could spend about 3 grand on one live steam engine. now thats bloody expensive
