Pretty sure someone has mentioned it before, (oh yeah, it was me!:eek:) don't buy new. Let someone else pay market price and then cry 6 months later when they're gun has dropped £300 in value.;)

Anything from the last 3 years (and in many cases, older) will be absolutely fine. As long as it's got eyes, is legal with the current tourney rules and it can make paint come out the end reliably and with minimum fuss it's fine.

The most important thing is that you try as many guns as possible out before you spend your money. Get along to Freekz and when people aren't frantically rushing onto the field for the game that was supposed to start 5mins ago ask go and ask them about their kit.

Most people will be more than happy to show you their latest shiny paint chucker and will happily talk to you for hours about how all their "ups" really do make a differn=ence to a gun that has spent 12months in R&D before being released. Spending hours on here researching guns is largely wasted. Get off your bum and go running!

hello,
although i havnt shot the vibe or seen it but from reviews so far it seems pretty good.
BUT you will soon need to change markers to a high end marker.
so its worth checking out the for sale section and im sure you can find a decent marker with a simillar price range.
