"Paintballing"

I'd like to start a general discusion for all things Paintball. First, i'm looking for a good gun for £200 or less, an ideas?

Yeah, i know all that, gas, face mask, battle pack, tools, all that stuff, but most sites that sell paintball guns, also have the other stuff, just not always at a good price.

Been Paintballing 3 times. Won 3 times. Mind you, I'm always on Pauls team, and he's in the marines.

A paintball gun for under £200. I've seen 'em somewhere for £20. But they were placky, and the p'balls looked like candy. Don't forget you need all the gas cylinders et al, if you want a propa an.

Thank's, but i'm looking at the Genesis Surge df from Viewloader. it has a 10 ball per second rate of fire. It's only $149.99, so, if anyone's got any comments about this gun, they'd be welcome.

They have a nice selection of air rifles and pistols, and some paintball guns too. For £199 you can get a Sheriden XTS, which according to the blurb can fire up to 7 paint balls per second. I am sure that will suit your needs perfectly.
Failing that, buy tin of dulux and hurl it into the fray.

Fog, i've been going every month for about 2 years now. I know all the rules, but the crappy rental guns just don't cut it any more. I was at Big Game 2002, at Cosford the other month, my tippmann 98 was usless, i could have done a lot better with a proper, killing machine.

They don't shoot at 300mph, they can fire at 300fps(feet per second), but do leave the gun at around 260 mph, but soon slow down.

I really love Paintballing, but i'm 16. Balancing money is very difficult at the moment, but i don't really want to spend more that £200 on a gun(which i really want). You can see my predicimant.

I would have a look around Ebay, they are pretty reasonable and you can usually get them bundled with the mask, gas and some paintballs.

Why would you want a gun? they're pretty lethal, heh, i'm guessing you've just been and want to shoot your mates some more. I'm not sure if you can buy them privately or not i'm pretty sure you'd need some kind of licence.

Anyway, Paintball rules, i've only been twice but both times were class especially if you get a mate trapped into a corner, muwahaha.
Some of my mates went with their work and didn't get any bruises, I think it's a bit of a waste of time if you don't get shot much you know whos been running around more.

There was a paintball area close to me and they enjoyed putting us in games where we had no choice but to get shot at from short distances, getting shot on the head hurts a lot but if it bounces of it feels like someones hit you with a hammer, sounds bad but it's a great laugh.

If you want a gun i'd recommend getting a gas BB gun but don't get any old gun get one with metal gabbings, probably get a Desert Eagle for £200, my mates Desert Eagle can shoot clean through metal sheets with Polystyrene pellets, BB guns arn't for kids :D you canget Gattling gun versions too! he he. Hand made though, cost about £1000.

A paintball gun doesn't sound like much fun without a full-face mask on. They fire at 300Mph+ it could probably tear your skin off.

I'm pretty sure anyone can post in FOG chat, it's FOG prime that you have to be a Regular or Notable for.

I would love to, but they won't let me yet, perhaps someone else could do it for me?

Yeah I have an idea, post this in the life or FOG chat forum.
