(Part 2) Best paintball markers according to redditors

Found it! It's a Paintball gun

Listen to my instructions carefully and follow each step exactly.

1. Find out your boss' strengths and weakness on the battlefield.
   
   
2. Obtain a ghillie suite and some war paint to cover face.
   
   
3. Obtain weaponry such as cherry bombs and flares. Also obtain the paintball minigun or stick with your preferred weapon if you're not a millionaire.
   
   
4. Scout the area before the battle. Find a good ambush point on the ground.
   
   
5. When the battle starts, head to your ambush point and lure your boss there with some bait. Maybe donuts or whatever weakness he has.
   
   
6. When your boss is in range.l, launch your flare and cherry bombs to announce your boss' doom.
   
   
7. Run at him in the ghillie suit while shouting incomprehensible words and firing widly at him.
   
   
8. Mission accomplished soldier.
   
   Hope this serves you well.

So you've got 250ish for a package for your son? Instead of buying that one I'll make one for you!

GoG Enmey Gun $125

Proto Primo Hopper $14

Ninja 48/3000 HPA Tank $50

JT Proflex $63

For the around $250 mark you will not get a better deal.

Looks like the gun I had in High School

I just looked at the prices of the 2 guns you are looking into, and if you want something in the $200 range you should pick up the gog envy it is right around $200 and will outperform that A5 and Spyder, plus it is a lot more light weight.

You paid 175?!?!!?? Amazon has these for I think $90
Azodin Kaos Semi-Auto Paintball Marker Gun - Blue/Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WSJTXA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_RfkPub1YTT207

Some really solid advice. As it turns out, Full Auto isn't allowed on the course I played on last weekend, and I'm not sure if we're going to get to do any woodsball this summer (I live in Alaska, so it's a short season), so I guess I'll focus on Speedball and consider a woodsball marker for next summer if I can find a game.

I prefer to purchase things on Amazon so would you mind looking over this list to make sure I'm getting the right things?

A note about the gun: I am really hesitant to splurge on the Ethas, because while it comes pretty highly recommended, I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a toy. Also, it seems that it's more suited to speedball, and I particularly want to maintain the delusion that I'll be able to find some woodsball games. Am I going to have any issues with trying to woodsball with the Ethas?

It's tough to capture, but I think this one is clearer - three different ones, top I pumped up the blacks in the image, bottom I pumped up the contrast and toned down the brightness, middle is a direct capture from VLC playing the DVD itself.

If you watch it frame by frame, it is easier to read, as the light plays across the gun, the EL becomes blurrier in the shots where the TIGRE is easier to see, the shot I grabbed was about the best full shot of the name plate on the marker.

By the way it's a Tippmann TPX Pistol and the portion showing "EL TIGRE" is where the brand name normally is found, so that is most likely the reasoning for replacing the nameplate.

When I started I pieced together a kit from decently priced items. I bought a Tippmann A5, tank, remote, and mask for maybe $200 or so. It was a pretty good setup for starting out, IMO, and you can add all sorts of frivolous / helpful things to something like an A5 when you have some playing money.

I'd suggest the BT-4 Combat, just for starting out. I actually JUST bought one on ebay for $70. They're $80-$100 on Amazon. From what I've seen of it, it's pretty similar to the A5. Thehiddenhedgehog uses one to good effect on his youtube channel.

I like Empire tanks personally. I've used them since I started.

This was my first mask. Took a .68 to the face my first game. Worked great! I've upgraded a few times since then, but I still have it and really like it.

$87 marker + $22 tank + $26 mask = $135. Add whatever shipping would be and that leaves plenty of room for pods, a remote line, and any gear you might want (vest, camo, boots, gloves, etc).

Thanks! It'll sure be an upgrade from the mask that comes with This
