I went about a week and a half ago for the second-ish time in my life. When paintball guns were the new kewl thing back when I was many years younger, we'd go farting around in the parks and shoot each other. The stuff nowadays is WAAAAAAY better and more powerful than what we had.
Do you partake, and if so, what kinda stuff do you use? I'm really wanting to pick up a mask first, because the rental mask was CRAP. I wear glasses and the dang thing just NEVER seemed to fit, and fogged up all the time. I'd also like to pick up a marker, but I'm not looking for something wicked expensive, something like $100 or less that's ok.
We had Tippman A-5's for our rentals, and I can pick up a Tippman 98 custom with mask, 200 round hopper, 9oz bottle and some other doodad for $200. From what I've seen, that gun is pretty decent, and is sells for around that price all by itself, so I'm guessing the rest is just throwaway crap. Would I be well served by shelling out an extra $100 for the few extra trinkets? I'm guessing the hopper will be the only thing I wouldn't quickly replace, as a 9oz bottle doesn't seem very big at all, and the mask seems like it's SUPER small.
I can buy the gun alone for $178, regularly $230. Should I skip that and pick up a DECENT mask and less expensive gun to start with?
Someone tell me there's a mask that works well with glasses too.
