There is a dude on the classified board selling a 4x4 shocker set up for £180, including bottle, barrels, hopper etc. I have been playing 8 / 9 years and played with a 4x4 for at least four of those. Its a good, reliable, accurate marker that can be set up in a variety of ways and will cause you very few headaches. I know from experience that it can be set up to fire fast enough to keep up with top end markers (but it wont be in the same speed class as them, to be honest) but it wont chop paint while it does it.
People will post replies saying "Its a big, fat B*stard of a Gun" and it is chunky, but you could do much worse. I seriously considered picking it up as a spare.
Whatever you do, best of luck dude. Second hand is the way forward, paintball is expensive enough as it is.

im a classic example of wot happens if you buy the bonedaddy
i first bought the bonedaddy gt from fat bobs and now only 6 months later im buying a second hand impulse, trust me ive been there and lived the whole story, in a few months time you'll be wishing you spent the extra 100, cause i know i am.
ps it also works out more expensive as well to go bonedaddy thn upgrade, i actually worked out im losin about £110 in upgrading to the impulse so one way or another you are going to need to spend a little more i think.

adding my point of view, only spend what you can afford.
"BUT" be aware if you buy something cheap then it's going to be disposable, but there is no point in buying a "nerve" if you will only play twice a year, i've seen that happen so often !
You say you would like to tie up with a team, try finding the team first and see if anyone will lend you a gun, there's always one flash ******* on a team with eight guns !
