hi, in my opinion don't buy a marker just yet, this may be because if you find any local teams to you they may be sponsored, and not use protos but say angels or eclipses instead. I nearly bought a marker then got incontact with ym local team to find this and that if/when on the team i wouldnt really be able to use it if that makes sense? trying to help you avoid the same mistake i nearly did aswell, as im still new to paintball myself.
cheers hope this helps and goodluck.
