Is this any good for a starting set up...?

Lips is in London isn't it?

lips is in welwyn garden city. When you go up there, keep your eyes peeled though - it's just a little building tucked in a corner. Very nice shop though and the bloke in there is very helpful, mind you though, it's pretty cramped in there.

As what's his face said, plug it in maps.google.co.uk search 'lips paintball'

And i think i will get a Vibe or a Proto SLG, would this be a good place to get it from?

As 3L1TE hax would say, 'it's a steal'

Just rememberm you're buying it from the states and god only knows the storm the sellers going to kick up when he realises how much it's going to cost him to get the thing imported. I'd buy from a reputable store. I just found a killer deal - hang on.

That looks like a good shop thanks.

Is it worth every single penny to buy the Proto SLG rather then the Smart Parts Vibe?

The Vibe is better value I feel.

The Vibe can run on an air tank and a VL Eye Force hopper yeah?

vibe

hi a couple of my marshals use vibes and they rock, capped at 11 bps with a standard board, but they are a lovely gun and for the price has a very nice trigger pull, as said befor get a decent pair of goggles it makes all the difference. hope this helps

Meh, as you can probably see it's all opinion. If you liked the vibe when you played with it, go for it but with deals like that (SLG), for £35 more, then i would prefer that. A vibe may be fine for woodsball but if you do want to move to speedball, an SLG would probably serve better as it is primarily designed as an entry level speedball marker but it still does very well as a woodsball marker.

Also, with that site i gave you, you can get a bottle for £40 with any purchase ( IE an SLG). It's on the link to the left where it says someones special offers.

So i think that's the gun sorted, and i'm pretty set on the hopper as a VL Eye Force. And the tank of 0.8l air.

Goggles, it's out of the JT Flex 8, Proto Axis and the Proto Switch.
In terms of quality of product and quality of vision, are the Proto Axis worth the extra money?

Having used Proto switch el's, fs's and pro axis ones i've got to say the pro axis ones are a lot better. However, i cannot say for the flex 8 as i have not used them myself.

Main advantage of pro axis goggles is easiness of lense changing (just turn the two tabs and click the frame out), sheer number of different types of lenses you can get for it (all proto goggles use the same lenses so there's like 7 types) and the fact you can put a fan on it if you want to.

Your choice though although i'd suggest getting yourself to a paintball store and try some on. That's the best way.

Hope this helps!

Yeah everyone's been really helpfull thanks very much!

But i think the closest store to me, would be Lips, and that's a train ride away. Do you know any stations that are near it?
Do you know any paintball shops in Central London? Central London as in, near the London Eye. Or in Croydon? That would be a lot easier!

Edit: By the way, i was talking about the 09 Proto Axis, the scary face looking ones!
