Best Answer

The spring in a mechanical paintball gun controls the amount of pressure the bolt has on it. Thus the more velocity. If you paintball gun will not shoot under 300 even when reg is way down, you may need to cut a little bit off the spring, 2 or 3 spirals.

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.
