I know there've been a lot of these, but, what should I get?

[paintball_fl]

I'm a noob getting a first gun. What should I get I have a budget of about $150.

[Etfren]

Is that for a full setup or just the gun?

If it's a full setup:

Spyder Imagine: $65
Eggy II: $40
Mask: $20-30
20 oz. CO2 tank: $25-30

If it's just a gun, get the Pilot ACS. However, with the Pilot you are going to need atleast an Eggy II or better hopper to keep up with the gun.

Well I'd recomend going to A local store such as Wal-Mart, Dicks sporting goods, gander moutain.. any of these places.

For a full setup, don't forget the little things - barrel sock, squeegie and pod pack. $30 should easily cover all three, but with a $150 budget it makes a difference.

Another thing you might want to consider - buying a mech gun and drop the Eggy 2. It might not technically be as 'good' as the imagine, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing to start off with a lower gun, it will teach you some good skills and make it harder for you to grow dependent on high rate of fire. High rate of fire is cool, but if you can accomplish the same thing with 5 bps that someone else does with 10 bps, well that saves you half your paint.

I would go with the spyder pilot. You will be thankful you got the electronic marker.

JL:

Refurbished Pilot ACS for about $80.

[JL-16]

:crazy: I Dont buy online... sorry. Put some pics up though:) :)

[Etfren]

The best place to buy the Pilot is online where thespy11 was talking about.
Firstcallpaintball has refurbished Pilots (and a lot of other guns) and they are only $80.

paintball fl:
are going to be playing speedball or recball?

if speedball: spyder pilot acs

if recball: tippy 98c

by the way u should raise ur budget like $25

[jeep_brute]

I would recommend a spyder, they are reliable and overall great beginner guns. You would fine with a Revolution hopper save some cash over the eggy. Also, CO2 would be fine, but if you have no place to get it filled, get a steel HPA tank.
