Hmm, yeah, i guess that is a fine starter marker, not totally sure on the price though as it is a rather competitive end of the second hand market. Run a search and see what stuff goes for, be sure to only look at recent ish threads.

To be honest mate you really need to be running on air. Once you get any sort of rate of fire out of that impy the CO2 will make your maker turn into a block of ice and your velocity will go sky high. I ran mine on CO2 when i first got it... i played one tournament, gun froze and stuck to my hand so I started saving for an air system right away. As it seems you don't have a vision system, make sure that you get yourself a quickish hopper, an X-Boarded revy at the absolute minimum....idealy an evulution.

im not quite sure on the filling up at home part un less u get a dive bottel and a filling reg.

you can get new preset's for under £80,you will need a dive tank and fill rig to "fill from home"

yeah but i wont a big bottle if not a phone call to BOC i think for a massive bottle of o2

 

[le-pig]

expensive and pointless m8,you have to open a account with boc,then they charge you rental for a year on the tank itself as well as buying the air in the first place .the big tanks are also really heavy and clumbersome .a normal dive tank should give you 7 fills and should not cost more than £5
to fill that is

 

[Beedle]

will

will guys at paintball shops/rec event etc. refill an air bottle for free?

[le-pig]

nope,normal prices are £1 for a bottle and £5 for a dive tank

my dads got an account wit boc for the wedling gas so all i got to do is ask for a w size o2 when they next come maybe
