I have 2 or 3 simple guns I could lend out along with tanks and masks for them if you decide to play on your own land. Some of us would need nitrogen or compressed air for our tanks.

I'm down.

I actually bought my A-5 from a member on here! This gun is solid and hasn't given me any problems. The response trigger(gas powered) is fun as hell. I put a lapco barrel on. I almost got the flatline but didn't want to run the high end paint which I heard is almost necessary for those.

Just becuase of the barrel you dont have to run high end paint. The + with high end paint is 1. Bright fill if its this its good hard to wipe,2 hard enough to get out hte gun with out choping but yet fragle so it breaks on eveything you hit,3 Good paint will less like to have dimmples in it. Cheap paint going be opisite of what i stated above. Also a big issue is for a better shot match your paint size up with your barrel back. When you do this you dont wan the ball to roll out. If it does the ball will have a curve to it. Second when you put the ball in make sure it doesnt get completly stuck as to it will break in your barrel. You want a snug fit.Winter time it is recomended to run a lil bigger bore so that way you dont have to much pressuere on the ball

That's why I went with the lapco. I have a .689 bore on right now. If I got more serious I could get the other sizes to match up whatever paint I was using perfectly. The reason why I would go with more expensive paint on the flatline is the loss of velocity from longer distances. Cheap paint wouldn't break most of the time.

I have been looking at paintball guns. I'm wanting to get involved...just something more to do with my son yknow...problem is he is 7 and most places (if not all) require a minimum age of 10.

Anyway, I have had my eye on the "US Army Alpha Black Tactical" for me and a "98 Custom" for him. I priced it out to about $350 including tank, mask, goggles, chest thingie and a box of ammo for the Alpha Black Tactical. Verrry attainable! May do it in acouple of weeks (after bonus)

Paintball is absolutely a blast!

Ita a bad *** sport to get into. Can be very expensive. And all fiels pretty much require you to be 10 for insurance purposes. Bsg.com you only have to 8. I have a 8 year old and 14 year ol nephews and they love it my bro inlaw plays also.
