[xtremesnipr223]

Spyder IMagine Refurbished (63 dollars)
CO2 tank of his preferred size (~20 dollars)
Comfortable, quality mask...idk 50 maybe?
Empire Reloader II (50)

And w/e little doodads you need, like a clamping feedneck or w/e.

[Shadow21]

Refurbushed Imagine-currently out of stock- $64
20 Oz Co2- $25
VForce Profiler-$30
Empire Reloader 1- just as good at #2- $30 on eBay
Accessories- $5

That is under his budget and is better than the Rodeo Mech Package...any day

where are you getting a Profiler for $30?

[TheSpy11]

Refurb 98C = $100 - best beginner gun ever made.
16 or 20oz Co2 = $20
Proto Switch EL = $30

Approx. $150 total. Add whatever else you need.

[IonWrestler]

well my fiends really not trusting of referb so do you guys know ne thing decent for the same price? yeah yeah i know theirs nothing good for that much

[NiGHtKaStCoCkEr]

i would get an imagine 05-108$
a tank-21$
mask proto-25
14'' J&J- 45
and maybe a super fly bolt- 25$ ( he can wash a car for this lol extra thing):D

i have this set up and i like it for the woods not so much speed or rec... but its really nice. I had an Xtra and the imagine is much better for only being 25$ more.

[Tweeters]

make friends with eff.

[Canderous]

A new barrel right off the bat is a waste if you're still using co2. I never really understood the point of super nice barrels being put on guns running off co2. The accuracy will still suck. And, imo, new bolts on spyders are a waste, unless you plan on keeping it for a while. Just take the venturi out of the bolt, and voila, improved air flow.

Save up for HPA or use that 45 bucks for something else. Like a case of paint.

Id say go with the TLX (I have a TL as my back-up) or an Image if you want an e marker. a 12V revvy is plenty hopper to start with and is suggest the proto mask. As for a tank, Id jsut spring for the 20oz CO2. I know it sucks but CO2 is cheep.

[slaminator3323]

Imagine-$108
co2-$30
Vforce Pro-Vantage-$25
Reloader 2-$50

[Recon by Fire]

The best thing any player with serious budget restraints can do is play pump! If you buy a cheap electro you probably won't be able to afford paint then to really shoot it. The same is likely true for a semi. Go pump and you can afford to play all you want.

[pbrascal37]

spyder imagine- 64 @ action village (out of stock)
Used steel nitro tank- 40
V-force vantage-35
or
Proto Switch- 40
12 volt revvy- 25 or reloader (don't get a II the shells suck)-30
clamping feedneck 20


all he will need is right there and ups will come easily for his marker

[Rebel0082]

How much do you guys pay for NO2? Is that what else you can use? Cause everyone here uses CO2 and we dont have a place for anything else.

[Recon by Fire]

NO2 is Nitrogen Dioxide and poisonous. Nitrogen (N2) is inert and used in paintball. You can also just simply use HPA (high pressure air).

Most people pay $5 to fill a typical scuba tank (80 cubic feet) while fields typicly charge $1 per 1000psi of the tank they are filling. So you would pay $5 to get your 5000psi tank filled at the field.

[Samrog777]

A lot of fields also have all day air, as much air as you want with either admission fees or a few extra bucks.

05 eForce GTI - $104
Used eVLution II - $35
20oz CO2 Tank - $18
ACE Kit - ~$10
XRay Goggles - $15
Remaining $$ - Misc. Ups or offset field costs

I think that combo would give you the most firepower for the money.

Get a better mask with the remaining money.

[splatmania]

xtremesnipr223- you are an complete idiot ... the only dif. between co2 and nitro is the recharge rate. so just to let you know you can take a gun put co2 on it and it will shoot just as accurately as it will with nitro.

i would tell him to save up some more money but if not then the only thing really in his price range would be an imagine
