Ok so I know very little of you know And I mean none of you know I paintball. I've learned from my mistakes and experiences so let me share with you my experiences so you dont make the same mistakes which might coast you alot...

For beginners! Alot of newbie's to P.B. proboly thought that that 500$ gun sitting on that rack is the best thing out there! Your probaly wrong.
If your new to the sport your gonna want a good simple gun. I bought a used Tippman 98 custom it's never needed repair maintnance only cleaning. Its dumbly simply to take apart and put back together here's a plus. If you lose apart send tippman a few bucks and they'll give you alot of that single part for spare's but if you some how manage to completly blow it up (how?) and are not able to fix it they'll send you a new one they stand behind there products I personally think its great.
And key word CUSTOM it's one of the most customisible paint ball guns I've ever owned! Im sooner or later gonna make it look like a Thompsan from WWII I'll make a blog 'bout it when I do!
It's like the AK-47 of paintball it'll do good in almost every enviroment , use co2, nitrogen, compressed air, work when wet, and I've hit it hard enough times where I thought It wouldn't work but It impressed me! And It still does every day! I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
my only con is the price of it new.
This was danka bringing you a hands on experince with paint ball guns!

tippman tip # 1 : put a few squirts of rain-X in your barrel let it sit for a day or two it should fog in the barrel put another vew squirts in it let it sit again for a few days. If you ever have a ball break inside your gun barrel it'll get paint all inside of it but if you use the rainX technique all you have to do is shoot again and the next ball you shoot it'll clear most of the "gunk" out.
