azodin blitz

[angels_blitz]

I have the azodin blitz. For the price it's a decent starter marker. It's just really really loud. Very easy to clean and work on. Like everyone says before you decide on a marker make sure you have a good mask, you can't shoot what you can't see. Get yourself a good loader, your gun can only shoot as fast as your loader. Then get yourself a good hpa NOT co2 tank. More consistent shots. Once your good with all that then get the gun you feel most comfortable with.

This.

Better than any other new gun in the range. I have the Blitz, thing has many issues. I dented my bolt one time when I was shooting, and I scratched my breech taking it out. However, maintenance takes less time then doing a good clean on your mask.

save up for a envy or get a azodin their more reliable than spyders

[REDCOBRA]

Don't buy a tippmann as your first! I made that mistake i still am kicking myself for it

[junits15]

I got a used broken pm7 for $125
It's blind still shoots fine though
Used guns really are your best bet

[Gr8escape10]

A used SP Vibe (same exact thing as an envy) goes for around $90.

[Spyderman6969]

azodin kaos = 90
proto primo = 15
hpa tank = 35
mask = 30
=170$

beginner

watch budget baller paintball show v2.0 on youtube by mike. and azodins are good

[COBE]

You can get a used Smart Parts Vibe which is basically a GOG Envy, and still have cash left over for a nice mask and tank. Probably your best bet. If you don't trust used then I would suggest the Blitz.

09-10 spyder pilot. they have basic modes (semi, psp miillinium) and you can find one for about $80. ive shot about 10 cases and ive never broke a ball, and you can get a shoot a case with a 68/45 snd a good reg

Your going to need more than just a marker to play paintball. You will need a tank, loader, and mask aswell... those are the essentials anyway.

So my suggestion for you is to save up more money until you can get a decent setup. I always suggest getting a used marker, especially considering you can get a heck of a better used marker than a new marker in the sub $200 price range.

This. Also it's very possible to get a very decent speedball setup for around $200. You just have to be willing to be patient and find the best deals possible.

See my pickup thread here.

I got that setup for $185 total. $160 for the gun and tank and $25 for the Halo B loader. It took me about a month to put it together but I was super strapped for cash and also have a parent who didn't want me to get started with paintball in the first place so I had to make my money count. It just takes time.

No... just no. There's a reason Dye stopped making them

I HATE the new tippmanns with a passion.... IDK why, but newer tippmanns seem to have too many problems... for being a tippmann

I have a very important question: Where do you play? Have you played before?
Second: What mask do you have?? Do you have a good Hopper? A good Tank?
Finally, do you have a steady income to play on a regular basis??

[Goozen]

Shocker, Ion, vibe....all in your price range. Just look around...shouldn't be too hard.

[Cheeks]

Get an envy but if a spyder is what you want get it. You'll buy another marker anyways. It's like a curse. Paintball is worse then smoking.
