How much should a novice spend on a paintball gun?

Answer 1

Well first a beginner should only spend money on the basics. The items include: facemask, semi- automatic marker, non- electric hopper, and thick clothes. All of this should cost from $150- $300, it depends on what you but and where you buy it. Now a novice should not have to spend much on equipment. You need to keep your old equipment for as long asyou can. If you are a novice, you should just sell your old gun for less than what you bought it for, and get an electric marker. Then get the marker customized to where it can ramp all the time. This is good because you will not have to change the settings of the marker. Now, all of this custimizing and tunning will cost around $170. I recommend you buy a Smart Parts ION. They are realitively cheaper than most other electric guns. Their price ranges from $200-$300. If its any higher you are being cheated out ofa good gun. So all in all a novice should spend around $300-$550 on a brand new paintball gun. (That is if you like to go cheap, there are some guns that cost over $1,000!)
