a lot of paintballers...
go for a second hand marker when they buy their first, what I class as "decent" marker, look on e-bay or on the classifieds here for bushmasters, auto-cockers, Impulse's, Matrix', Intimidators, AutoMags, E-Mag's, X-Mags. You'll find something nice soon, bushy's are certainly cheep and cheerful, we gave a die hard mag fan a bushy at our last tourny to play with, he was very very happy.
Personally, I'd look for a vert feed Autococker, then save up for an E-Blade or a Race frame, you'll be very very happy then.
