Dude, I've been paintballing for 8 years and I always go here for equipment and they send me the best stuff, cheap prices and the best guns possible. Check out http://www.actionvillage.com they have everything and special gift packages.
I haven't found anything cheaper than the other site, but there is stuff the other site doesn't have...
The masks, your best off with vforce or the flex 8 full head coverage tbh. http://www.paintball-discounters.com/get_i...rts-ion-gun.htm That is the stock Ion. Its pretty good, but may need some upgrades at first, depends on your preferences tbh. Your 2 co2 tanks, do they have anti syphon things on the end? cos if they dont, get them as it will stop liquid co2 getting into the gun aswell ;] One of the First upgrades you will need for the ion, or most guns tbh, is a Grip lock feedneck. This will stop your hopper falling out of the feedneck.
If you get a Tippman 98 Custom then you will have enough left to get a compressed air tank for your gun it's $100-450 but it's worth it they last longer and you can refill them for free at paintball fields and sporting good stores!!!!
It really depends on what you are going to be playing. Are you going to be doing Woodsball, suppair or speedball? Speed & suppair are kinda the same I guess but still ;] Depending on where you want to play, will decide which gun you should get. Tippman for woods Ion for the others tbh Or you could save and get something better, or better kit :]
Where are you going to play in the end? in the woods? or in speedball? That will then dictate which kit to go for tbh
In the woods, but every once and a while I will play speedball. Im not sure what the regulations are if any when going to a paintball place to play. So I will wanta gun for the woods, but if there is a possibilty a gun that I can play with in speedall every now and then. Also if there is a place where if you buy 2 or three for much cheaper together I could probably do that because one of my friends is going to get the same gun as me and the other is not sure.
Hmm. I guess an Ion would be best, as you can upgrade it to become a scenario gun (for the woods) with body kits that allow mounting scopes or what ever. It may require some upgrades though. Then again, seeing as i've never played speedball, i dont know the rules, so a tippman MAY work, if it has an egrip or something? but i'm not too sure.
buy an ion, add a custom drop and bottomline, get a new feedneck. buy an antisiphon for your c02 and your good. btw, go to paintballgear.com
