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.
u/cypherfox has a list of Canadian retailers. Not being Canadian myself, I don't know many.
Start with the most important thing: Face protection. Eye protection is always required for airsoft. Something ANSI Z87.1+ or higher impact rating. Could go with something cheap like Pyramex I-force or go with something really high end like Smith Optics Turbo Fan. I've also liked my Save Phace Grunts, but they do scratch easily. For lower face protection, the One Tigris mask is pretty standard. Comfortable solid protection. Could also rig something up with a Steel Mouth which doesn't provide as much protection but, in my opinion, looks nicer. If you think he'd prefer a full face mask, the Dye I4 is fantastic.
After that, I'd prioritize boots. I'm not much of an expert on these. I like my Merrel MOAB Mids. I've also heard good things about Salomon and Lowa. Just something with some decent ankle support.
After that, look into a carrying case for your gun. You could use the box it came in, but that's not really ideal. Personally I use a valken gun bag and have had no issues with my M4 and AK. Could also go with a hard case like a Plano.
Then you're getting into less important stuff. Load bearing gear, like a chest rig, plate carrier, or belt, is nice to have but not required. They're used to carry whatever. Magazines, water, food, tools, extra batteries, whatever. I'm not really sure what the market for that is like in Canada, but Condor is a good budget brand with plenty of styles.
Other than that, I can recommend Mechanix Gloves and Howard Leight Impact Sport
Without your actual budget and knowing exactly what he has or what he wants, I can't really get more specific or recommend much else.
Like others have pointed out, you're spending a lot of money. Hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing considering we know nothing about your budget.
Some tips for your selections:
As for a vest, given the stuff you've already picked out, the obvious choice would be a Condor MOPC in black. Plate carriers are generally highly modular, so with some additional MOLLE pouches you can set up your rig however you want.
Edit: model, not brand
Just to help anyone out that may purchase this - I have this exact kit and bought this adapter to use it with a paintball tank. Worked perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072XNYS5B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mfo1DbAAANC9A
I use a dye i4 and it’s really comfortable and doesn’t fog. I can also aim down my sight easily with it on. https://www.amazon.com/Dye-Precision-Thermal-Paintball-Goggle/dp/B002YHFMHS
Dual thermal lenses are best. But they are not fog proof. But conditions have to be bad to fog.
Here is a cheap dual thermal lens mask. 30 dollars on amazon
Empire Helix Goggle Thermal Lens - Black Header https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M9HWOBA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sHoDDbZ8SDTTW
Yes, but I'm pretty sure it's just easier to buy a cheap airsoft red dot.
http://www.amazon.com/NcStar-Tippmann-Reflex-Sight-Weaver/dp/B000S6CYFK/
This one should clamp down to actually fit N-Strike rails if you don't to bother with rail adapters.
I usually leave it on my desk, but inside one of these:
Paintball Goggle Bags.
http://www.amazon.com/Winchester-Soft-Drawstring-Paintball-Goggle/dp/B00OKTVLG4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462160128&sr=8-3&keywords=goggle+bag
I ended up using a rig like this for a year when I mained my Zeus.
Condor M4 Mag Pouch - MOLLE
If you don't use Molle, I used the same rig with this belt:
JT Paintball Pod Holder
I did add some tubing to make them friction fit and they never fell out while running.
I was able to hold 4 12-round sticks easily with this setup and used it for a long time.
You can see how it holds up here in one of our videos (I'm the guy w/ the green bandanna).
In that case get a Stryfe, prefferably one without a dart checker in, then buy a set of consumer lithium batteries and get a small performance advantage then the same rules apply. Get pouches for your team mags so you can still scoot, shoot and easily supply more ammo.
I am not a fan of restrictive gameplay or classes but if that's your game, that's your game!
Gonna second what a few other people said - mesh doesn't make good eye protection. BBs can and will shatter into your eyes. If you can't get contacts or prescription goggles, I wear ESS Innerzone 3 goggles over my glasses. Dye i4/i5 goggles also fit over my glasses, although they're pretty expensive. The Dye Special Edition looks way less sleek, but has as good antifog as the i4/i5 and fits over glasses too.
Considering you posted that you just had your first game then I'm assuming your talking about a newbie setup for getting into the hobby. With that being said $200 (USD?) Is going to be a bit on the low side for getting a reliable setup. Bare bones set up is going to be getting a gun, goggles + face protection, battery, charger, and BBs.
Good eye protection is an absolute must IMO as your eyes are very expensive to repair, used everyday, and don't come with a warranty. Impact resistant lenses are a must (no mesh eye protection unless you like fragmentation going in your eyes). Dye Mask My wife uses this mask and it gives good protection, doesn't fog up much, and is relatively comfortable. Can even wear glasses under them but it's a bit of a snug fit for them. This will cover your eye and face protection in an economic package. There is something like a $30 one that doesn't have the thermal lenses but I don't know how well they perform and fogging is a real pain to deal with so I think the extra $10 for thermal lenses is worth it.
Airsoft branded batteries are usually over priced so get generic purpose batteries. The decision is between lipo and nimh with lipo having a more expensive start up cost (a proper balanced charger isn't cheap) and needs more care/upkeep to properly use. Nimh are cheaper to start with (a smart charger plus a 9.6v 1400mah battery can be gotten for 35. Nimh are older tech and much bulkier but almost fool proof to use as long as you don't do anything truly idiotic with then.
The fun and expensive part of this whole endevor is the gun. This is where the wallet weeps and where investing in quality will pay off in fewer issue and potentially less upgrade/repair costs down the road. What style of gun do you want to get? We could suggest the most economical and starter friendly M4 for example but it doesn't help if your interested in something like an AK or something more exotic instead. The thing though is that most decent beginner guns are going to run closer to $150 or more which really cuts into that $200 budget when your already sinking $35 into your battery kit and $30 or $40 into your eye protection.
BBs is the last thing but again something important to get. Don't buy cheap BBs as they risk breaking the gun. Never use .12 BBs as they love to shatter. I highly recommend elite force BBs as they are good quality and not insanely expensive. .25g BBs are a good balance between indoor and outdoor play while I prefer .28 for outdoor settings. A bottle of BBs can range from $15 to $25 depending on how many you need and the weight of them.
I did a DIY version of this using a MOLLE panel and higher quality bags. Looks like the same first aid bag. It's been through 3 years of various weather and no problems yet.
I got a sodastream and an adapter to use a paintball co2 tank in it.. works like a charm. I have a large tank also for my kegorator so I just fill the small bottle off the large one with a simple fill station.

Magpul RFG (canted on Weaver 45 mount)
Wow, for the much just keep en eye out for a used Dye I4 mask or just get it new. All masks or even just goggles will affect aiming down sights and most will require a riser for the sight to see properly.
>please let me know if you know what the game is going to be like.
You will be starting on hard mode coming there, count on it. It's gonna be all the hvz vets from around the country showing up.
>Stryfe and reliability comments
First of all, get that thing squared away. NO stock wiring, NO stock motors, NO stock switches and NO 14500 cells allowed and don't even think about it being still stock in toy form. You will be playing a high stakes game and you will also have a lot of high end guns on the field as the status quo.
Motors- You can get Rhinos from Duke_Wintermaul and Containment Crew in the US or you can use Banshee 130 (check /u/foam_data post history, he links a fleabay listing recently).
Batteries, wire, connectors, chargers- Hobbyking
Switch- Omron V-214-1C6, buy from digikey.com
If you need tech help, feel free to bug me about it as much as you want, I have infinite patience for those who want to do stuff properly.

This mask is a common rental mask with added full head protection. Rental masks are notorious for being just bad masks. If you feel like you absolutely need a full head mask, go with a JT Flex-8 Headguard. This was my first mask and I still have it. I have i4s now but my friends use it when we play.
But seriously, if you don't absolutely need full head protection, don't get it. It looks kinda stupid, and it's hot and sticky. Not to mention more area to clean when you're done playing. Whatever you get though, get it with a thermal lens.
Link to the NcStar red dot.
The one I painted and used on my Stampede is an NcStar Tippmann Red Dot Sight with Weaver Base and is $9.95 on Amazon. It fit onto a Nerf rail without any modification.
And Zombona is right that sights are not terribly useful on Nerf, but they are neat looking. :-)
I've got a paintball tank with this cheapo regulator. I'll spend a bit more on a nicer one someday, but for now it gets the job done. The diffuser is a cheap glass one with a ceramic disk in it. A lot of the reviews mentioned it being overly fragile, but it's been a tough little sucker for me.
I wish I took more pictures of the process :-/ but I'll try to put that together with some Internet pics.
Basically I got cheap goalie mask as the base and cannibalized an old paintball mask. That's not the actual one, one I had came free with gear, really cheapy. Last thing I got were these steam punk goggles. I know there were cheaper ones; I think I only paid $12 for 'em.
SO I got all my pieces and held them in place with duct tape. Then paper mache, paint, and lacquer to keep everything on. Goggles were the most expensive part because I happened to have the pb mask laying around. Could have done it cheaper but I felt the green lenses REALLY pulled it together.
That's not accurate at all.
The stock sight literally looks through the rail. There's a notch cut in the rail to be able to look through.
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ruger.jpg
As the TRS25 sits above the rail, it'd be impossible for it to co-witness.
Here's a guy who put that together anyway though: http://www.perfectunion.com/vb/ruger-10-22/112769-bought-new-10-22-today.html#post968513
And his pic here really shows how much higher the TRS25 would sit above the sight-line of the open sights (which again look straight through that channel in the pic rail): http://www.perfectunion.com/vb/attachments/ruger-10-22/30113d1457466285-bought-new-10-22-today-100464147.jpg

That being said, you do have options. A riser won't really help, because the cross-bar for any pic mount is going to block the view. However, a QD mount for the TRS would allow you to quickly take it off if need be and use the irons.
Or, as is always the answer: Tech Sights will co-witness. But you'd need both the front and rear as they're both taller.
The Save Phace Grunts are a quality clone of the X800.
I mainly use the green laser and my lowest power/widest field eyepiece, skipping the finder scope altogether when using my main scope. The finder scope is a 6x30, Orion, and does mount via dovetail. It's an okay finder scope, easy to calibrate, and got me by for a while and I still have it on there to use. On my other scope I just use a red dot finder like the one you linked to. Some people really like Telrads. Here's a tip: try keeping both eyes open when using the finder, it feels weird at first, but once you get used to it it's easier to aim. Keep on practicing and good luck!

You can frequently find them in thrift stores too. And get an adapter to put in a paintball co2 tank. That's what I did.
The sodastream itself was $1 at my local thrift store. It costs ~$5 to fill the tank and it lasts for forever.
You would rather get these if your really keen on getting a mask that fully covers your head. It is a bit more pricey, but it is worth it since it will be very comfortable and is a cousin to one of the most reputable googles in paintball, the JT Proflex.
Link was a little messy.

Basic components of a pressurized CO2 system:
Regulators: there are many brands and components to a regulator. I recommend a regulator with a solenoid, and a bubble counter. The solenoid allows you easily control your CO2 using an inexpensive timer, or an expensive pH controller. A bubble counter is a simple way to guess how much CO2 gas is in your aquarium. You may want to shoot for 3-4 bubbles per second depending on lighting and plants. I personally recommend the Milwaukee regulator and have used one reliably for years.
CO2 tank: A 10 lb tank might last you 3-4 months before needing refilled. You can get a 20lb but they are huge and ridiculously heavy. On my 29gal, a 10lb tank lasts 6 months. Tanks ship empty and you have to find a local source to fill it with CO2. Try welding supply or home brew beer supply. You will need disposable seals too.
Diffuser: This is where you have a lot of options. Ceramic diffusers are effective on small-medium tanks. CO2 reactors and DYI options using your filtration system are effective on a large size tank. I can't give any recommendations on these 2 options, sorry, hopefully someone will chime in.
Other important equipment includes CO2-safe tubing, a drop checker, maybe a brass check valve if needed, and the aforementioned timer. Hit me up if you would like recommendations for these items.

I'm working hard on my own design, but some shortcut notes (hopefully this helps, as I've purchased a dozen paintball hoppers, all of which was wasted money for the most part)!

That's a good solid piece. I'm using one for a Sub-2000 red dot setup. Amazon has it cheaper.
I've bought a mask already - I did a bunch of research (a lot on this sub) and quickly realized that should be the first thing I invested money into. Especially since I wear glasses - I won't have any fun if they won't fit under the mask. The first time I went out I bought one with thermal lenses that can be changed out. I don't remember the brand. But it fits my head perfectly and has only fogged up once. The rentals they had were nasty, quite frankly.
I've been poking around amazon and found this hopper. I've read that no matter the marker, an electric hopper is the way to go. This one seems to be a reasonable price and people seem to like it as well.
I suppose I should also add that my boyfriend and I are splitting the cost of that haul since there are two markers. Mostly. He's putting in 50 I'm putting in 75 - I'm taking to the sport more than him so I see myself using everything more. We've already talked about buying new tanks and feeders for it. And the field we go to rents tanks as well - which is great because that is still cheaper than renting all the gear.
Within the next 2-3 paycheck's I'll probably buy the GoG. I think I'm still going to throw down for this haul - I have a few friends that I could maybe drag along if I had the extra gear to help them out. Haha.
I know it's lame but I really like the look of the Tippmanns. I like the more rugged look than the sleek fancy contours of the GoG! But I once I get better I know I'm going to prefer something that performs well.
My name is Etzel_ and I'm a seltzer addict.
I have a drinkmate and it's the bee's knees. It's the rebranded iSoda and it's cheaper than the soda stream. I have two 20 oz paintball CO2 tanks and an adapter for $15 on Amazon.
Each tank lasts about a month and cost around $5 to refill. Definitely worth it. Here's the adapter:

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. I am still on the fence about this helmet:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00083DEUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mainly because of the horror stories some of my friends have told me who have gotten shot on the sides and back of their heads. Also the full helmet looks cool imo.
As for pants go (yikes!) definitely on the pricier side of gear. But I'm sure they're worth the investment.
Now I need to find a solid pair of cleats. Getting into paintball has been quite the investment ;)
I leave min plugged in, but cover it in this paintball mask bag. It's a little tight, but covers well enough. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OKTVLG4/
I used Amazon gloves
,Mask
This is the nozzle I use.
The container I use is the JT 20 oz which I got from the local Dicks store but this Empire one on Amazon should also work.
These are probably outside of your pricerange, considering the cost of the gun, but they're the best full facemask that you can buy.
Or this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002THLQXC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_JAevxb3635YA1
Kind of doubt how well it works, but maybe somethign similar to this and ear plugs?
If you really need results then invest in this.
Paint grenades could also be fun before hitting him with flour or glitter. Just to annoy.
A yeti-style container with super ice cold water could stun him pretty well too :)

Yeah there are a few good options for eyepro in the $15-20 area, anything Pyramex with the right ratings or these too. Cheap doesn't necessarily = bad even if there are nicer goggles out there.
I use these in UCP for both paintball and Nerf. They hold 2 pods or 4x18's perfectly, and will close, albeit barely, over the 18's. Academy sports has them for ~$12.
15 of these to Janine.
Another package drifts down to her. Inside are 15 of these, along with a note.

Yes that's the one. I bought this adapter https://www.amazon.com/Interstate-Pneumatics-WRCO2-320-38-Paintball-Disposable/dp/B072XNYS5B/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=paintball+adapter+disposable+co2&qid=1556109593&s=gateway&sr=8-7 but I haven't had to use it yet since the original co2 canister hasn't run out yet. I've only been using the setup about 3 weeks.
If you're looking for just the gun, A TMC will be your best bet. If you also want some other equipment here are some links.
This is a molle vest that also comes with pouches

You don't need to splurge on anything dance when it comes to the gun. However, YOU NEED A GOOD MASK.
Here's the mask that I use. It's wallet friendly and hasn't fogged up on me once.

All of these items I personally use myself, and all of my loadoat costed me about 350-400 bucks.
Im thinking of trying this https://www.amazon.ca/UTG-3-Slot-Adaptor-Medium-Profile/dp/B00BUVLZES/ref=pd_cp_200_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XP5W0ZNJWRSGZPZE2CV8
But that might be too high for you as well.
Have you tried a floating lens setup like these? So far so good for me.
I used the Smith Optic turbo fans for awhile, but in the hot summers not even the fans couldn't keep up. Switched to low profile glasses for awhile and that was a huge mistake for me as well. Try a pair of floating lens.

oooh I'm a fan of the salvo, my favorite non magfed marker, so I'm going to assume you aren't running the tippmann magfed adapter or the deadcell tippman magfed adapter, which, if you want a magfed salvo, go with the deadcell version, but, assuming you are hopper fed, definitely grab a Proto Primo, they're easily the best gravity fed hopper on the market. Also, everyone is going to tell you this but for good reason, if you don't already, get an anti-fog mask.
Also, if you were looking for some sort of scope, I'll tell you what I tell everyone, a red dot wont do anymore good than iron sights unless you're using first strikes. NCStar makes a cheap red dot that I had on my 98 if you want to dabble in them.
Take good care of that marker, it's essentially a 98c in an arguably tougher, milsim body, take good care of it and it will last forever, I still have my 98 from 8 years ago and it's still shooting like the day it came out of the box.
Any marker is the best marker in the world if you enjoy playing with it, keep on shooting!
EDIT: also, since the salvo has the quad rail, idk how you grip the marker, but I'm a big fan of angled foregrips, only reason I don't have one is because I'm a bigger fan of gripping the magwell, also, should you want to get another marker at some point, anything with picatinny rails will accept a grip.
This is what I have been using for a while. It works great and is a pretty good price.
