Tippmann markers in generally have a reputation for being the most durable markers available. They are the standard for field rentals because of this reason. Tippmann's however are also known to be Slightly Heavier than tournument Markers, But that's because there more durable, unlees you get a better barrel but i usally buy new barrels for markers anyway because stock barrels are rarely good, and generally efficient. Tippmann's in many opinions are the best scenario marker available.
When someone is just doing paintball for the first time they need a paintball gun that is easy to use and light. The recommended one is a Tippman 98. Any of the variants will be good.
Tippmann offers a number of different paintball guns with an expensive price tag. Tippman's most expensive paintball gun is currently the X7 Phenom Assault Edition that is priced at four hundred and forty nine dollars.
TIPPMAN 98 CUSTOM OR TIPPMAN 98 custom pro Thes are the same gun but the pro has upgrades. This gun is the most customizable gun out there everyone says there are sooooo many upgrades. it is great for just shooting around with friends or for woodsball. if you go to arena's with like reall paintball barriers you might want some kind of ion ive heard the smart parts ion is great. but the tippman is probraly your best bet cause its cheap even thought its one of the higher end guns I have a tippman 98 and i love it.
Tippmann 98, very durable and easy to fix.
press down on the front sight and turn the hopper downwards
around 300 feet, the same an nearly every other gun.
All guns leak a little bit when you put Co2 in the gun. its normal
If it is his/her first paintball gun then yes. There is no need to drop a ton of money on a gun if your kid won't use it after one play. If you are going to go spring, Spyders and Tippman are two reliable brands, and sell pretty inexpensive guns. If you find that they like it, upgrade to a spool valve gun (Ions, Dyes, and Protos).
its a good starter gun
A used stock Tippman is worth around $80-$100
Ebay or any X-Fire paintball stores. P.S. X-Fire actually means crossfire also sports authority has the a-5 for 200$ with digi camo
Sadly not that much. To the point where it may not even be worth it. Tippmann have a poor resale value, and the prolite are no different.
