Good Starter kit?

Hi all,

http://www.store.justpaintball.co.uk/special-offers/specials/pirhana-gti-mega-package.html

Saw this for £99, which it says is reduced. Do you guys think it is good value? I have seen the gun on here for £30 as ex-site, or £45 in better condition. But with free Postage on that site and all the kit being brand new it might be fair?

I am going to be playing casually with friends in a private field on a map we've made. It's not a huge field. We have been offered some Triton Viewloader paint markers, viewloader hoppers and standard 20oz light gray co2 canisters for £40. But not sure if these are even good enough?!

I would look around the 'sales' section and you could find a second hand PMR or SLG for under £100 which would last you longer because you will end up upgrading soon with that marker.

dude get air tanks instead of CO2, its better in every way.
And if i was you i'd get ions or something along those lines.
Im selling an ion for only £80, its either semi auto, or ramping, which means if you pull the trigger 5 times a second it will shoot 17bps. Check it out here-

you can then buy an air tank for about 20 quid and a hopper for 5 quid. So for 5 quid more than that package ou get a better gun and a better gas system.

Hi folks

welcome to the forum and ultimately the game.

What kind of paintball are you thinking of playing? and Have you played before?

couple of bits of advice i'd recommend to people new to the game.

1. Get yourself to your nearest site/store and try/buy a mask first. As your eye sight cannot be replaced. this will allow you to play with borrowed or rented gear to start with but will keep you safe and comfortable.

2. Pop down to the nearest store/site walk on day or what not and try some gear out. most players at walk ons or paintball shop staff are always willing to help you out.

Then when it comes to upgrading whatever marker it is you eventually choose, best way would be to, Buy a decent carbon fibre wrapped Air tank and a half decent hopper. These can be put on pretty much any marker you use. Then you can look into more expensive/improved gear.

But to start with I would just keep it simple and get out and play and most importantly have fun!
