[Virtual_Bob]

Hi
My Name is Charlie and im looking forward to becoming part of this community.
First off i have recently started paintballing as a hobby however have none of my own equipment
I have 175£ Budget to get myself started. I am going to be playing indoor types and hopefully moving into torny the torny type within the first 2 years after moving closer to a Team.
Is there any ideas of what i could to start myself off with 175£?
Cheers

have a look in the forsales but one of the best things you can look for is a good mask if you're looking for custom type mask with a few funky colours on it try looking a pro flexes

with £175 to get a full setup you'll need to make sure you spend your money right. the absolute minimum gear you will need to play at walkons and such designed for regular players is: Mask, Gun, Hopper, Tank (pod pack and some pods would be a HUGE help)

Mask wise it is best to try and find a mask that fits your face well and won't steam up. cheap options are things like proto switch, or vforce profiler. you can get these super cheap on the classifieds here.
as for hoppers a decent force feed loader will do the job so something like a Halo B or the Invert Too are fantastic loaders and as above you can get them really cheap here if you keep an eye out.
for tanks if you can afford the big step to a carbon fibre 68cu 4500psi tank straight away then it is a HUGE advantage when you go to up your game (more shots, comfier, lighter) as one of the first things people get rid of is the old 3000psi tanks.you can get a 4500psi for around £80 second hand but if you absolutely cannot stretch your budget then a steel 3000psi tank will do the job for now.
Guns you just need to go with your budget but 2nd hand will definitely be the way to go, just keep an eye out for things like eteks, early DMs or Proto rails.

cheap packs can be picked up for next to nothing second hand as can pods but can sometimes be hard to come by and so you should look to buy a few from one of the UK retailers.
