Help a newbie :(

[MisterNewbie]

OK,I need a good starter kit but i dont know which of those i should get.

#1 ViewLoader Genesis Surge II [kit 249$ canadian]
http://www.viewloader.com/product.asp?item_num=2052&fam=Markers+and+Kits

#2 ViewLoader Orion [kit 189$ canadian]
http://www.viewloader.com/product.asp?item_num=75&fam=Markers+and+Kits

#3 ViewLoader Maxis Pro Series [no kits 169$ canadian]
http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3826/

Heres the info i got so far:

#1 Seems really good except for the fact that its a "CO2 eater" (nice JT mask with it)
#2 Excellent buy for beginners (thats me),powerfull,accurate but blue :S (bad for woodball and comes with a cheap mask)
#3 Did not get any infos at all.

Can u guys please help me to choose the right one.

Did you try www.badlandspaintball.com ? they are located in Canada and carry some decent packages for around the same prices as you posted. Don't just limit your options to one type of marker set-up if you're limited on funds.

Yeah, for about that price range you could get yourself a nice Spyder Imagine starter kit. I reccommend this alot more than a Brass Eagle

yea man, see if you can get one of the cheaper spyders first.

or, pick #3.

#1 Seems really good except for the fact that its a "CO2 eater" (nice JT mask with it)

This is untrue, still I would not reccomend it, the one I got (for Christmas) was sloppily made, and needed a little modification. If you want you can check my review for the details.

#2 Excellent buy for beginners (thats me),powerfull,accurate but blue :S (bad for woodball and comes with a cheap mask)

The mask in this kit is the same one (I believe) as the one in the Genesis Surge II. Power is not an important factor in paintball; every gun is "supposed" to shoot under 300 fps and the accuracy stock is the exact same as the Genesis Surge II, and almost any other low-end gun for that matter; the only real factor which dictates accuracy is what kind of paint and barrel you use.

#3 Did not get any infos at all.

Pretty much the same thing as the other guns.

My verdict: look at the Kingman and Tippman paintball guns, they offer the best choices for a beginner. And for heavens sakes, don't believe the reviews that tell you that one gun is more "powerful" or "accurate", I doubt they did any tests; and if they did they would have arrived at a different conclusion.

if you are going to go VL then go with the Maxis it is a gun built with most of the upgrades VL came out with for their guns.
The trigger, gas thru grip, sticky grip, barrel and the drop foward are all being sold as upgrades to the rest of the VL line. a Maxis RG has a regulator and an EG has a regulator with an electronic trigger. but those cost almost double the standard maxis.

Spyder is prolly the best way to go, I was going to get one, but got an RG for less than a standard maxis.

a spyder xtra good, or an imagine if you want to spend more and get an electronic marker.
