Living a life with paintball

[Calavera]

Paintball is without a doubt the best thing I've done in a looong time and I'm sure you will all agree. However paintball does cost money, lots of money. Sure I have a job to attempt to pay for the costs but its just not enough and now I really want my own gun.

I figure that if I cash out on a basic starter gun I will be able to go more often as I learn more about paintball itself and the gun. I have looked at gun at great length and do not need to told which gun to buy however I would like to know WHERE to buy it. The gun, paintballs and mayb xtra kit to go with.

If anybody can reconmend a cheap and reliable paintball site available to a guy living in South England I would appreciate it and any other advice.

Smart Parts is just in Bexley, not far south of the Dartford Crossing in Kent, so they could be OK for you to travel to.

If you have a site near you that hosts competitions - it may be worth going along and checking out second hand kit. For the price of a starter marker (new) you could probably get something second hand that you would be aiming on getting a few years down the line. Plus they've usually been looked after and tricked out (spare markers and "back-ups").

Bring some paint with you and you can try/check them out whilst you're at it. Plus you get to watch some fun games and meet some of the people on these boards.
