So, after reading and watching videos for months, trying to get my around all the pb lingo and what not I finally made my first big purchase and I couldn't be happier!!! I left getting a marker until last and safe to say it payed off!! I ended up getting an etek4 lt. What a piece of kit!! Got the rotor and a guerilla air bottle.

So far I've put a whole case of paint through it. I got a free squeegee too so I literally have everything I need for some serious paintbaling!! I'm off to gunsmoke paintball in Ipswich the weekend after next and I cannot wait until I can actually shoot other players hehehe feel like a kid at Xmas.

A massive thank you to all the guys that have helped me on my introduction to the sport and all the guys at lips and brickett wood. I was even asked to join a sup air team which I may think about after my Jiu Jitsu tournament next month!! Hustle paintball has helped me a lot as has Danger man both are YouTube channels if you're a newb go check em out!! My advice to newbs. Get a mask, find a venue, talk to people, watch vids, save up to get a good level marker and don't impulse buy!! Air not co2 and good paint makes all the difference.

I've had an awesome weekend playing with my new marker and learning all about it , don't loose focus and you'll be happy as larry before you know it!!! Thanks again guys and I hope to see you out on the field one day!! I'm the lad with the dreads!! ;) Sam......OSS!!!

A couple of pics!! I got some really great deals from some of the lads on the classifieds. Best buys were PE Guantlet gloves, a bounce vest and my mask all brand new!! We have an army surplus store near us and I got some seriously comfy army boots with great ankle protection and some camo clothing for some great prices too!! Get out there, create your style, stay safe and most of all have fun!!!!

Oh I forgot to say about my pack. It cost me 25 quid from lips and it came with 4 fatboy pods. I was looking at NXE in the excess of 50 pounds mark but it just isn't necessary. This thing is a beast and mega comfy and accessible!! That's it for now hehe just my 2 cents, if I can help someone else out like I've been helped its all good!!!
