Also, before you buy anything, go through the checklist!1. Do you have a good mask? If not, go buy a high end one that you agree with the fit and feel of it, as well as the given protection. Look at: Vforce Grill, Empire E-Flex, Dye I4, Sly Profits. Never skimp on the mask.2. Do you have a nice loader? Fast guns can't shoot fast without a nice loader, and lower end guns are more likely to break paint with gravity fed loaders. Do not be cheap with this either, because if you are, whenever you decide to buy a nicer gun, you'd probably need to buy a nicer loader too. Buy any of the superloaders, used or new: Empire Prophecy, Empire Prophecy Z2, Dye Rotor, Virtue Spire, Pinokio.Or go with great loaders that aren't super loaders, but should work for whatever gun you'll ever own:Empire Halo Too, Empire Scion, Spyder Fasta 18v, Pinokio on sale.3. Do you have a carbon fiber tank? If not, go get one. CO2 costs more money and is not good for your gun, as it is not consistent, and is very temperamental in velocity to change in temperature. Get a good HPA tank. Do not get any that are 48/300 or anything x/3000, because those are just heavy, and, as with the loaders, you end up buying a nice one afterwards anyways, wasting around 50-60 dollars. Any 68/4500 or 45/4500 should work for you, when in doubt about size, get a 68/4500. Any manufacturer should be fine as well, as the tanks are all the same, but the regulator is not. I would, however, recommend staying away from PMI, since their regulators are crap. The best ones to look at would be Disruptive, Ninja, and Guerilla Air.

I appreciate the advice but this is a mispost, the other one was the actual post.
