Once you've got into sup air, you probably wont want to go back to woodsball.

For the money you've got, you can easily get yourself kitted out for paintball.

As someone mentioned a tippman A5 is a good choice for walk on's. You can kit it out quite nicely, and its not over the top.

Sup air markers, well.... there's a lot out there. If you start marshalling you'll get to see more and more markers.

just an update;
have ordered a euromag from fatbob`s today, hopefully this will hold its own on the sup air field as well as being able to use it at walk ons and even the odd punter day. then when i get into sup air more seriously i`ll get an electro :D cant wait!!!

i dont know whether im doing/done the right thing, but for punterdays i got a BT-4 Combat, upgraded the barrel, put a drop forward on it... and that is PERFECT for punter days (apart from they use ****e paint which is innacurate as hell!)

and got an Invert Mini and Reloader B for sup-air/walkons... but thats what i managed to peice together out of a lil research... sadly i didnt find this site till a little later in the game!

If you like it and are happy with the set ups you've got then you did the right thing ... whats good for some people may not be right for you :)

too true, and even if i dont get on with it, they are fairly rare and hold their value so i can sell it on without loosing too much!!

talking of which, how much will i get for a used (once) icon z?? or will i have to pay someone to take it away for scrap lol :rolleyes:

not neciserily bad paint, more bad paint to barrel ratio, even tourny paint will fire worse than standard paint if the standard paint is a good bore match and the tourny paint isnt.

tho paint can mess up your accurasy, especially on wet/ cold days when the balls warp
