    Long sleeves are nice, gun doesn't matter too much when you're just beginning but once you get higher up (If you do) you'll notice things you'll want to change/upgrade.

    So...

    Get a alright gun, don't spend too much money (Less than 120? I haven't checked prices in a while. Just don't go crazy). Wear some jeans and a long sleeve shirt (Or if you're willing to take a few shots to the skin and it's hot out go for just regular short sleeve) and um... have fun... try not to get shot in the crotch... hurts a lot... take my word for it.

    Alsooo, start out with some friends... they'll help ease ya into it. Paintballing is funnn

    Everyone hid in your closet so I'm under your bed
    make sure your wearing a paintball helmet(kinda obvious though),
    make sure your more then ten feet away from the person shooting at you or you will bleed,and dont ever pick up drop paintballs and stick em in your gun,the dirt will tear up your gun

    just wear long sleaves and long pants and make sure u wear a cup
    and just have fun run around and stuff
    r u playing in an indoor or outdoor place

    for guns to start out get a tippman u can always upgrade them
    myself i have an tippmann a-5 with a response trigger and a sniper stock and a stupid bipod i baught


    paintballs-depends what u want to do with them
    if u go to a paintball place u have to buy theres
    but get zap if u r gonna shoot them at your house there cheap

    You can be as old as you want in Australia.
    I just wear a normal shirt and shorts, but I don't mind the pain.
    I don't advise that though. :P
