best thing to do would be to come and watch a tournament. 15 is a gd age to come into paintball as the sport has changed a lot recently. younger smaller faster players training from your age will be the stars

Ok thanks for that so far, I see your point on dropping the barrel, I adapted it from a drill using a pump powered gun. I don't want to invest in a pump gun for no reason.

The main thing behind this was that with a pump everytime you pumped you lost your aim, so you learn to aim without taking much time at all. So maybe just miming to pump might work.

Also, someone has offered the following for £100-£130:

JT Excellerator 6.0 with hopper and 20 oz co2.

I have enquired as to what type of hopper it is, but what do you guys think?

Sounds like a revvy or a quantum if its viewloader...
You are gonna get FAR more for your money in the classifieds though mate, people will throw in alot of gear to sweeten a deal, the second hand market is very low at the moment.



As the guy above has said, your young, you wanna be learning about the new things in the sport so forget pumps.

When you play you should always have your gun up and pointing where the opposition are, even if you are running full tilt you can shoot at a guy enough to put him off or even get him and that saves you a trip to the deadbox.

saves you a trip to the deadbox.

I just buy my tickets in advance

The gun I found was in classifieds. Also, I would never even think of wasting money on a pump. Also, in game I have already been planning to majke sure my gun is always pointing up.

i think i saw an ir3 going for £150 in the classifieds, just look for a deal like that and get a cheap but good mask like the JT flex7 and look at upgrading your hopper latter when you have a bit more cash.
it's better to buy good stuff now and not be having to get new things in a few months.
