Hey guys,
I've been doing woodsball paintball on and off now for a year or so, and now I want to start playing a lot more. So i'm going to buy my own marker etc and was wandering does anyone know where I can buy a Tippmann 98 Custom Starter Kit, or something similar.
Btw, I want to buy the marker etc from the UK.
Thanks, Dan.
lo,
Considered getting something other than a 98 (Or similar)?
If you get a 98 with a gravity fed hopper and stuff (Which is probably what you're going to get with one of those starter kits) you're not going to be much better off or have much of (if any) an advantage of the punters using the site gear, sure, it might be in a bit better condition and look a bit nicer, but that's really the end of the advantage, unless the site really doesn't maintain their equipment well.
Consider looking at a cheapie second hand marker off of these forums, have a look around, speak to people at walk-on days at your local site, test some markers out and learn the lay of the land! Information is your most valuable commodity when purchasing something (anything!) that you don't know much about!
And whatever you do, don't discount 'tournament' (The ones that look like space guns
) markers, they're generally lighter than woodsball markers and just as good! They don't have the military feel that the woodsball markers might have though, so each to their own when it comes to that
Bottom line: Make an informed decision, you could plow money into a 98 and never make it any better and when you get round to selling it, find out that the 600 quid marker you've put together is worth 80 quid on these forums
Also investigate your site's facilities when it comes down to what they fill, Co2 or Air, If it's only Co2, you'll have a tough time using anything other than a mechanical marker unless you find somewhere else to fill your tank.
Cheers
