What is a good quality paintball gun for a newbie?(a.k.a. ME!)
I am new to the sport, and I bought a Brass Eagle Blade.(I regret that VERY MUCH!)
I want a better quality gun.
Thanks,
Pro-Ball

the definition of good can be interpreted very many ways, for instance you could mean good like a B.E. stingray, a Spyder T.L., or a Smart Parts Impulse :D. im assuming though that you want something nice and cheap but reliable, in that case, go for a Spyder T.L. or somethin

I bought brass eagle and i dont regret one bit. You will never learn unless you use the crappy guns and work your way up. Besides you might decuide paintball isnt your thing and put the gun in hte attic. I like PBing and got a job jus so i could get a better one(im gettin the gun soon).

get a tippmann 98 very durrable
GT Commando 2, you can't go wrong with this gun (although I have heard some peoples' get shipped with small leaks, mine had NO problems though) and it already comes with features like a venturi bolt, and an expansion chamber, with an excellent stock barrel too!

Spyder Compact 2000!!! You cant go wrong with this gun, If you do the research this marker has everything you could want and more.

I agree with Raver.
Spyders can be anything you want them to be. They can even go electro with that Boo-Yaah or Centerflag thing.
Plus they are not complicated and you dont even have to take the gun apart. Just pull out a pin.

get a compact i got a stingray and got an 11in barrel ten realized it could only take me so far unlike a compact which can take u much higher in the level of pb
Something not BE they over charge for low quality guns. After u rule out them its gonna be any gun u feel comfortable with.

any gun is good just dont get a tippmann 98 or anything brass eagle and dont get any of those new xeon guns they look cool but they suck and they come without an owners manual and the customer service is non existant

Personally I like Spyders. My java 2 in 1 works just fine for me. The best thing about Spyders is that there is always something more you can buy to imrove your game. Oh yeah, whatever you do don't by the higher end Brass Eagle stuff after the stingrays. Most of them are not worth the cash.

The Xeon is actually a very high quality well built marker.
The lack of an owners manual sucks but it works just like a spyder, which you can find tons of information on the web for it.

Definitely a Tippmann or lower priced Spyder (aka Compact or something) i would reccomend a Pro/Carbine for a Tippmann or the 98 custom.

They are both low priced blow backs that are relatively inconsistent, louder than most guns, but are generally relliable. I got my Spyder and Love it but If I could do it over gain I would get a M98 though.
