Though the G3 is an excellent marker, it is not a very good starting marker. Firstly it costs over $300, bust be run by a HPA tank, and needs an electric hopper to function well. This starting money is usually a HUGE deterrent to new players, and can burn out all of their paintball funds and energy, which could have been spent elsewhere. It is also not a good idea for your first gun to be an automatic electric, you will not be able to fix it (as a beginner) and will never learn to aim, like you must with mechanical markers. Automatic also wastes more paint then the average beginner needs or can afford.
In the related links is a question about the best beginner markers
beginner.... spyder, kingman once you get advanced more like an angel or dye
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.
If your a beginner. It's ok, but don't get it if you have been playing for a while. All and all, no, not really.
The new Azodin ATS and Tippmann Carver one are two you should look into for beginner markers.
No. They are not really paintball gun, but toys.
Paintball pro shops are the best place to get them, however there are many websites that sell them cheap. Some good sites are Paintball gateway, ansgear, and zephyrpaintball. Some sporting and outdoor stores sell markers, but they are ususally beginner packs and other low end guns.
No, even though it is cheap, it is not of very good quality and will break after several games. You should never spend less then 100 dollars on a paintball gun (new at least) if you want to play for more than a month.
It will preform the same as the bt4 and the tippmann 98. It is a beginner marker, so compared to the entire market it is not "good" I is however an excellent starter marker.
ansgear.com is a good paintball but for information is techpb.com
Its simply the 98 with a shroud and stock. For a beginner marker it is very durable marker. but compared to most $200 and $300 dollar guns it is not "good"
Good at what? You cant tell how good at paintball you are if you've never played.
it depends on what you want to do. if you like airsoft then get an airsoft sniper. if you want a good paintball gun then DO NOT get one that looks like a military gun. in my opinion i would get a paintball gun. i would recommend $100 Azodin $250 proto rail $350 dangerous power G5 to me, these are the best starter guns. but before you buy a gun go to your local field and try it out to see if you like it.
