Looks good to me! Solid set-up, even for an intermediate player.

But i don't think you'll need a 1.5l, definitely not for tournament.
I'd go for a 1.1 but it's your choice.

Especially as its 4500 psi too!
I run a 0.8l 3000psi steely and can comfortably get out a hopper and 5 pods with that.
1.5l are generally made for big games and the like where there'll be a lot of paint flying in every direction.

I think you probably mean an NXe pack.

All looks good, maybe add a jersey and pants, then you are sorted!

You'll be able to shoot the contents of that pack several times over with that size tank - best to go smaller! 1.1 is plenty...

Thanks

I think he meant 1.1l 4500psi fiber wrap
As 300°psi aluminum in 1.1l do weight a lot ...

1.1L tanks or 68ci (Cubic inches) can be bought from any good paintball supplier.

http://www.paintballwarehouse.co.uk/ theres a good place to buy one Alternativly you can get a second hand one from anyone on the forums. Get the Fiber Warped tanks (Kevlar), they need to be tested every 5 years from born date and have a lifespan of 20 years. Get a bottle cover for it too, it should help stop the bottle from sliding off your shoulder whilst playing.

The new ETEKs from planet look really good if you haven't already bought your marker.
Also for the same price other guns are available such as the Proto PMR which shoots really well too

Happy ballin'

You've done your research

Great setup, a good quality jersey and pants and you'll have topped it off nicely. Agreed on the tank, a 1.1l / 4500psi fibrewrap is a better fit unless you have uber-long arms.

Spend as much money as you can on a mask, thast the most important bit of kit you'll ever need, proflex's are a good comfy mask, quite a few marshalls wear them, I prefer the vforce grill, if you can afford to drop a few more quid, I'd highly recommend them, but it's down to preference and what you can afford

As already mentioned, 1.5ltr bottle is a bit too big, 4500 psi 1.1ltr fibre wrap bottle is more than enough, and lighter

I'd also recommend ( if you've not got some already) a decent pair of football boots or cleats, ones you can wear all day and not feel you've got them on from personal experience, you'll need them ( awaits Eric or Balf for a ground anchor comment. . . )
