Man what I'd do to pay those prices lol. As someone else has said you may get more pertinent advice on the Paintball Nation forum, since most people here are based in the UK. I must point out that the bottle you posted up is a nitrogen tank (N2) and a low pressure one too. For an Etek, planet eclipse recommend a high pressure reg on your bottle to prevent drop-off at high rates of fire (though I use a LP on mine and it works grand at 15bps).

I'm sorry, I thought I edited it last night... I wanted to ask, what I should do to start a team, other than practicing... but anyways, I know that an Etek needs an HPA tank, i just don't know what I'm gonna get yet... co2 would DESTROY an Eteks o-rings... I was thinking about getting a DXS HPA tank, something like this:

My advice is to join a local team first instead of starting your own right away, one that has experience and can teach you a lot.

First of all welcome mate, though as has already been pointed out this is mainly a UK forum but you'll find us a friendly bunch.
As for an etek, good choice, I picked up a used 06 model on there forums a while ago and it's great, I also run mine on a low pressure air system but have a crossfire reg which id supposed to be one of the few LP reg that has the recharge rate sufficient to maintain high rates of fire with no drop off.

As for a team,join one starting one from scratch can take a lot of time and you're still fairly new to this.

Actually, I tested my ROF's at the local field, I averaged 12, and my highest was 17... I don't know EXACTLY what to say... but I will get everything when i get it, and that requires money, and a job... so I'm gonna wait it out
