Ok, so i'm very new and i don't know crap about paintballing. Ok some questions,..... whats a squeegee? If i was going to buy any gun, would i have to buy a barrel plug? and Whats a thread protector? and what are nipple covers? would i need to buy those too?

A squuegee is a tool used to clean broken paint out of your barrel. There are all differnt kinds. I prefer a straight shot and a battle swab.

I believe most new guns will come with a barrel plug.

Thread saver screws onto you air tank when it's not in use. It protects the threads from getting dinged or bent. Not necessary but recommended.

Nipple covers are for nitro systems.

oh ok thank, so just gettin a squeegee is fine?

and whats a regulator?

[dohvb1]

Yes definately get a squeegee a thread saver is only like $3 although not needed can save you trouble and money.

Very basically and quickly, a regulator regulates the air pressure entering the gun. When using CO2 the pressure can spike causing your velocity to vary. A regulator allows for a consistant pressure allowing for a more consistant velocity.

Well......I guess it's my duty to inform you probably a good 80% or more of your questions are already answered in the Newbie forum.
