Tippmann A5 kit, or Bushmaster with hopper and nitro tank for 300$. My FIRST gun, keep in mind.

Bushy . . . no contest, A5's are too big and bulky.

On a side note, welcome to pbr.

Bushy, especially if you're going to be playing speedball. If you have any problems with it the folks in the ICD forums will help you out.

actually its the other way around.
A-5's are nice and Compact, and bushys are kinda bulky, but not big.
Bushy, get it anyways.

Well the bushy is definately the better gun in the long run but you should read up on it and learn maintainence. It will require much more care than the A5 but it will be worth it.

Bushy, get it anyways. meh, I guess its an opinion thing, because I think the cyclone feed makes the a5 feel huge.

If you plan on doing tournaments in the summer or just having an awsome rec gun, get the Bushy hands down. You can't compare an electronic to a blowback. Before you make your desisicon look at every gun first because there are other great guns in the price range also like Automags, Autocockers, Impulses, & maybe a used E-Bladed gun.

Plus one for bushmaster. Whoever said the cyclone feed makes the A5 feel huge, you aren't alone there. The two markers are in different classes. Bushmaster for sure.

Unless however you don't play paintball that often and won't be playing any tournaments. If you aren't going to get too serious about the sport then the A5 will save you some money on paint and a nitro tank.

Here is my dilemma. I have ONLY 300$, and the kid with the bushy set the price up to 500$. I want the gun NOW because I've ALL READY waited a long *** time with my money to find a good gun for a low price, but I can't. NOBODY around me will sell a good gun for 300$, and I want the gun right freakin now, so I'm not ordering online or anything.

Calm down.

If you really want a Bushy, you're going to have to save more money. Now, you could always get the A-5, but answer this question for us. Are you more of a speedballer or a woodsballer? Do you plan on getting competitive/entering in any tourneys/joining a team or anything of the sort? If not, the A-5 will be fine if you're just playing rec/woodsball.

I want to get serious in paintball. So tell me about these guns:
Dragun T.E.S
Silver Bullet
^Both are in my price range, are they good for a beginner to speedball? I WILL be playing some recball and woodsball with my friends too, though.

If its going to be your first gun, get a Spyder Imagine. Get an Empire Reloader, a nice barrel (Lapco, J&J, or CP) and maybe a nitro tank and reg. Then you'll have a nice gun for woods and speedball.

The Silver Bullet is a nice gun. Talk to cindy, she has one. ANd yes, they are good for speedball...but you dont sound patient enough to buy one from the internet...just buy one from there! Who cares? Get it from www.pbgear.com for a great price.

if you get a blowback dont get anything other than a spyder imagine,some type of piranha, or a tes

the silver bullet is a pos just like most 32degrees products

just save up for the bushy you will kick yourself later on if you get a blowback

Is the Piranha EVO a blow back?
I am going to get:
Piranha RED EVO
Upgraded Jt nVader goggle system
Electronic Agitating 12Volt Revolution Hopper and Feed Adapter Elbow
20oz CO2 tank

^For 340$$...I think I'll do that.

I'd go with the Imagine if I were you....but instead of the 12Volt Revolution get an Empire Reloader. They are slightly cheaper and better, since they feed on every shot. And make sure that the JT mask has a thermal lense. And if your going with CO2, install an A/S in your tank.

The 12 volt comes with a package. The JT goggles are thermal lense.

Then keep the 12v
if your outshooting your gun then get an eggII.
