Am I missing something?

[Dave_B]

What do I really need?

Being a 'Newbie' and only having experienced paintball half a dozen times I have been thinking its time for me to start buying my own kit.

Here is the question,

What on earth am i going to need?


I see markers, goggles, compressed air bottles, hoppers, elbows, squeegies, oil.

What I would like to hear from anyone is a complete list of the stuff I'll have to buy so that, the kit arrives, i put it together, get the gas filled and go and play.

It would really narc me to miss something out and be sat waiting for 2 weeks til i could play with my new toy.

Thanx in advance.

OK

1.Goggles
2.Marker + barrel + bung/sock
3.Air system
4.Bottle for the air system
5.Elbow if required
6.Loader + batteries
7.Pack + pots
8.Squeegee
9. Spares for air system/marker

Clothing/boots/gloves/neck protection/hat is a matter for you.

Get some training on maintaining your marker as well.

Lastly paint - get something reasonable - don't go for the cheapest.

BTW - air/CO2 is normally available from your site. If you want to have air at home - get a dive tank + fill rig. Ask your site/paintball store for advice.

Another thing you'll almost certainly need/want is a set of tools u need to maintain your marker, most need hex(allen) keys and an adjustable spanner but u might need more than that.

Marker : you decide (99-9999 $ us)
A.S. : co2 for beginners ( 20 oz. ~20 $) think about on/off valve
