Years ago me and some friends would go play in the woods and shoot each other with paint guns, they were fun days and left alot of bruises...
Recently we were talking about the good ole days and thought we might get a team together and enter this league we use to be in, we're all getting on a bit now and in desperate need of exercise.. anyway I remember you could buy paint guns online these days and stuff and decided to check some out.

Now this one caught my eye, I mean seriously.. you could kill someone with that surely?
So yeah bit of a noob, and no way am I spending that much money and depriving our newest edition of a education but surely someone amongst the ranks has a cheap, realistic alternative bar "Use the crap they supply"

Re: Paintball Noob
I play paintball on a team too. My gun was worth $240 though, and now that I have it upgraded its around $500. Its modded to a sniper though and I have a ghillie suit and everything. The cheapest I saw in a store was in a local sporting store for about 50$. This gun was my first gun. The cheapest I saw online would be here for $30:http://www.paintball-discounters.com/get_list_78.htm.

Re: Paintball Noob
You can get some really cheap stuff it seems but I'm kinda tempted to go that little bit further and have something that would look good on the wall after I give up after 2 weeks of mud, rain and being shot at
I'll let you know what I decide to get, though at the moment the other half is screaming "the bucket is a better choice as this would save some money so we could decorate the bathroom!" which was only done last year but like I told her, I can decorate it when I get my new paint ball gun lol
